What should happen?
The rules behind this
Adult Skills Fund delivery is earned through the ILR against an allocation, and is reconciled: earning less than the allocation can reduce the funding retained, and earning more does not automatically increase it.
In further education, funding is not paid simply because a college says it taught someone. It is earned by recording what was delivered in the Individualised Learner Record, and that record is what the funding calculation, the performance measures and any audit all read from.
