Academies having submitted their Annual Report and Accounts to the EFA by the 31 December 2016, will be aware that they must now submit their Academies Accounts Return by 31 January 2017.
The EFA has introduced a new process for submitting the annual return (

The EFA will publish guidance on the known issues on the
Academies Accounts Return page on Gov.UK where they will also provide further updates and information to support trusts preparing their accounts return. If you have any issues please consult this page in the first instance. If further support is required, email
academy.questions@education.gov.uk using the subject title “AR – technical issues”.
Please also refer to the
EFA's Academies E-Bulletin for updates.
