With 45% of UK secondary schools having opened or applied for academy status, as well as increasing numbers of primary schools; the staggering growth of academies, reflected in an increase of 1,604 in just a two year period, is now demanding a specialised, structured approach to financial reporting for the education sector.  In response, leading accountancy software provider, CaseWare, has launched its new academies accounts and audit templates.

Based on the industry model financial statements “Coketown”, the CaseWare academy template offers accountants access to the most comprehensive statutory reporting tool available for the sector – with full academy accounts, paperless audit and Mercia disclosure checklist.

“As a result of the government's expanding Academy programme, there is a clear need for a software package which meets their specific accounting requirements,” said Simon Warren, Managing Director of CaseWare UK. “With a product suite that constantly evolves to meet ever-changing market needs, the introduction of  specialist academies accounts and audit templates was the natural progression for CaseWare.”

Academies are self-governing and most are constituted as registered charities or operated by other educational charities, so CaseWare based the new software on its market-leading charity template. Like its predecessor, it also comes with a complete editing tool kit which allows the user to manage the style and presentation settings, as well as tailoring the content for each organisation.

For improved efficiency and accuracy, the template also replicates the Coketown Governor’s Report, adding functionality which allows accountants to define their own reports according to the academy requirements by simply copying and pasting from other text sources. This will once again, enable accountancy firms to produce returns more effectively and in a shorter time frame.

Suitable for accountancy firms of all sizes, the system also offers multiple GAG notes; allowing an unlimited number of supplementary tables to be added.  Befitting of CaseWare’s core development focus of end-user benefit and efficiency, the GAG note error trapping functionality will ensure that any manual data entry remains consistent and accurate throughout.

As the dedicated financial reporting and audit solution for academies, this new template will allow users to quickly, efficiently and accurately produce and audit clients’ accounts – in a sector where budgets, deadlines and quality control can simply not be compromised.

Founded in Toronto in 1988, CaseWare has become the leading global provider of accounting and auditing software used by domestic and global accounting firms, corporations and public sector and tax authorities.
