The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Storey on 2015-12-08.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are the legal requirements for auditing school budgets in local authority schools.

The Scheme for Financing Schools statutory guidance requires local authorities to set out the financial relationship between them and the schools they maintain. The scheme contains a provision which places schools within an internal audit regime determined by the authority, and the authority’s external audit regime.
