56 Revenue Monitoring report PDF 154 KB
To receive a report containing the Revenue Monitoring 2019/20 update.
Minutes:
Coral Miller presented the 2019/20 DSG Revenue Monitoring report. She stated that a cumulative deficit of £4.2m was anticipated for the year, largely due to an overspend in the HNB. This included a carry forward deficit from 2018/19 of £2.50m. However, it was hoped that this figure could be improved.
During the discussion of the item the following comments were made;
· Paul Miller stated that it would be useful to include a line indicating the recovery figures from previous years; he also suggested adding a line splitting the maternity cover cost from the supply cover cost to make it clearer;
· Paul Miller asked that the underspend in contingencies which may be used to cover the overspend in the de-delegated budget be demonstrated in the next report to Forum;
· Derren Gray asked about the omission of (800) in column E relating ‘Teacher Pay Pension – Grant’. Coral Miller confirmed that it should have been included;
· Members were concerned about the errors in the report and asked Officers to use Excel spreadsheets to produce reports. Coral Miller confirmed that Excel was used.
RESOLVED That:
1) The next report to Schools Forum will include the requested additional lines as discussed during the meeting; and
2) The report be noted.
