Report Title: Management Accounts and Performance Indicators for the 8-month period to 31
March 2017 and 12 months rolling cash flow to March 2018.
Purpose: INFORMATION
Summary: The College made an operational surplus of 163k before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization charges. These charges are outside the immediate
control of the College. The impact of which is a deficit of 1,055k.
1. Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to report the financial performance of the College to managers and governors for
the 8-month period to 31 March 2017.
2. Background
The 2016-2017 budget approved by the Board in July 2016 was revised in light of a number of changes to the
College operations following the inspection of the College in November 2016 and the failure to implement the
budgeted staff restructuring.
The revised budget and the forecast outturn has been profiled across the remaining 6 months of the
academic year including the actual spend to January 2017. The monthly profile will enable College
Executives and Governors to monitor its performance against the revised financial objectives.
3. Report
The College is reporting an operational surplus of 163k before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) charges compared to a planned surplus of 459k EBITDA.

The Monthly trend are as follows:
EFA Grant income will be paid in full despite the lower than contracted learner number this is
otherwise, referred to as the lagged funding method. The funding profiled evenly over the period. The
contracted learner is 1748 learners; the current number based on the last return made to the funding
council (R08) is 1,475 students
SFA Adult Education provision, (classroom based 19+) forecast funding at year-end (including
allowance for achievement) is expected to meet funding target of 925k including learner support
funds of 50k
High Needs Students This is currently at 113k ahead of plan due to higher number of learners
referral from neighbouring local councils.
Apprenticeships, the College is currently behind on its revised forecast by 105k on its 16 to 18
apprenticeships. The outturn includes an estimation of 31k achievement. It is unlikely that the
forecast out turn of 376k will be achieved given the number of learners enrolled as at 31 March and
the fact that the College will not be able to enrol any new apprentices until its ofsted grading for
management is at least satisfactory. The current projection is of 274k.
The 19+ apprenticeships is ahead of its year to date plan by 24k. It is expected to achieve 246k
against a funding target of 304k. The outturn includes an estimation of 17k achievement.
Please note, that the forecast year-end funding assumes similar retention rate of the current students
as the previous year; there is no allowance for new students starting in the remainder for the current
financial year.
3.2.2 Tuition Fees including the Advanced Learning Loans - 32k Favourable:
The College is 9% ahead of both Exam fees and tuition fees. The College will use up its allocation of
Learning Loans.
Page 4
Epping Forest College CB
3.2.5 Full cost provision - 1K Favourable
The full cost provision is currently running at 67% of the planned activities and in line with full year plan.
3.3 Expenditure
3.3.1 Pay (Appendices 4a-4c) - 323k Adverse
Details are as follows:
Year to date pay expenditure currently stands at 69.20% against the forecast outturn of 66.48% of income.
That is 2.72% higher than planned.
Teaching departments are ahead of plan by 385k year to March 2017. This is due to use of agency staff to
cover vacancies, sickness and maternity absences. 154k of this over spend relates to LLDD, ALS and
functional skills students which require in most cases one to one support and as such any every absence of
their support staff requires cover. Additional and increased guided learning hours in English and Maths at a
cost of 37k. The unbudgeted cost of internal verifiers in Construction, Motor Vehicle and Electrical at 101k
Business Support departments and other payroll cost are within forecast at 72k favourable variance.
Teaching Non Pay adverse variance of 26K was due to purchase of material to be recharged to learners.
Corporation Expenses is over spent by 91K mainly in Information and Network Tech by 24k, The use of a
developer in the Management Information Department explains the 25k adverse variance whilst most of the
these overspend are mitigated with corresponding under spend in a number of areas. However, additional
quality improvements initiatives has led to an adverse variance of 95k to March 2017.
General expenditure are being controlled by escalating purchase orders above 500 to Principals or in her
absent Executive Directors approval with a focus on only essential expenditure. Essential expenditure are
those that would affect Learner success and or those with health and safety implications.
At 31 March 2017 net current liability were 674k compared with net current assets 400k at the end of July
2016. This is due to increase in creditors against a reducing debtor balance. The bank balance and cash
investments amounted to 818 k (July 2,439k).
Outstanding trade debtors of 273k (January 587k) and an aged analysis of outstanding debts is below:

The reduction in cash days reflects the profile for receipt of SFA/EFA funding that decreases significantly in
the period December to March.
4. Financial and Risk Implications
Learner funding can also be volatile as data is checked and cleansed. In the event that funding
generated may reduce.
Ensuring an effective cost control system to deliver the forecast out turn
Growth in apprenticeships will be hampered by the SFA limitation due to the recent Ofsted.
Tight controls on staffing costs, particularly on agency/hourly-paid will be maintained to ensure pay
costs is kept to the sector benchmark of 65%.
EFA/SFA recurrent grant represents 90%. It is anticipated that funding from these sources will reduce
in future years. Thus, the College needs to develop strategies to optimise EFA/SFA and alternative
sources of income where it is possible.
Breach of loan covenants if there is an operating deficit excluding FRS 102 pension adjustments.
Failure to achieve EFA/SFA funding contracts, which may result in in-year clawback by the SFA and
reduced funding allocations in future years. Under-achievement on the EFA funding contract would be
impact from 2017-18 allocation.
