What this return drives

  • Earnings for June and the final opportunity to influence delivery before the year ends.

What each role should do

MIS or ILR officer

Before

  • Work through the year-end issues list systematically rather than opportunistically.

After

  • Report what remains outstanding with a realistic plan to close it before R14.

Curriculum manager or head of department

Before

  • Record outcomes as they are known rather than batching them at the end of term.

Checks before you submit

  1. Outcomes are being recorded as results become known.
  2. Run validation locally before submitting, and work the errors by rule rather than record by record.
  3. Check learners still recorded as in learning whose planned end date has passed.
  4. Check aims that have ended with no outcome recorded.
  5. Reconcile the funding report for the period against your own expectation, and explain any movement since last period.
  6. Confirm withdrawals notified by curriculum this month have actually been recorded.

Sign-off

  • MIS confirms progress against the year-end plan.

After submission

  1. Download and keep the funding reports for the period. They are your record of what the submission earned.
  2. Circulate the reconciliation position to Finance, with the explanation for any movement.
  3. Log any issue you could not resolve in time, so it is picked up rather than forgotten next month.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Outcomes held back to be entered in bulk, then not entered before the close.

Each of these has a full diagnostic in the error and assurance lookup, with the causes, the investigation, the fix and the control that prevents it.
