Can the FMSiS Certificate be withdrawn, e.g. if a school has delegation withdrawn?
We would leave this as a decision for the CFO. The assessment is a snap-shot and, of course, circumstances can change quite quickly in schools – with new leadership etc. But the assessment isn”t the end of it. LAs should be encouraging schools to continue with self-evaluation between the three year cycle of external assessment. This way we shouldn”t ever reach the situation where delegation needs to be withdrawn. All warning signs will have been picked up and addressed long before this is necessary. The standard is about being more honest and open about your situation with regard to financial management and dealing with it as opposed to trying to cover up a bad situation.
