School financial procedures manual
This manual describes all the financial policies and procedures that Lambeth schools are required to have in place to meet the Lambeth Scheme of Delegation and the Financial Management Standards in Schools.
We revised it to include sections on disaster recovery, FMSiS and retention of documents in September 2007, and distributed it to Lambeth schools in January 2008.
The manual contains 19 chapters plus a table of contents and an appendix, each of which can be downloaded using the links below.
