Lesson Outline


Public Schools are required to compile financial statements annually within 3 months after the December year end.

Three key decisions the compiler has to make:

  • What reporting / accounting framework should we adopt, e.g. IFRS or SMEs or MEC Guidelines
  • Does the South African Schools Act restrict how certain transactions are treated?
  • Who is allowed to compile the AFS of a public school?

Join us as we help you make informed decisions.

Break down the SA Schools Act requirements that affect the accounting transactions that end up in the financial statements.

Provide guidance on available financial reporting frameworks when preparing financial statements.

Work through the National Guidelines accounting framework developed by the national Department of Basic Education. Clarify who is permitted to compile AFS.
