MAT Budgeting: To centralise or not?

Budget management is the beating heart of every MATs administration. Good budget management is critical; it ensures transparency, aids decision-making, and enables schools and trusts to allocate resources - where needed. 

Trusts have the flexibility to use an operating model that works best for them – whether that is GAG pooling, top slicing and everything in between!  

The latest Kreston report revealed that 32% of trusts currently use a GAG pooling model. With increasing financial pressures and accountability, how do you know which model is right for your trust?  

In this webinar, we’re joined by CFOs who share their approaches and practical tips for optimising budgets for today and the future. 

We also cover how IRIS Financial Planner is helping trusts to save time, improve accuracy and prepare for the future, with its powerful functionality – whichever operating model you use.
