Software used to return finance data, year 5

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Education,

I am updating a study into school back-office ICT systems, including MIS and FMS platforms.

Please could you provide, from the last complete CFR return by schools, information regarding which platform was used to submit each return. Please put this into an Excel spreadsheet with the following fields: School number, Local authority number, Input system used. This information is not currently available using the CFR returns available to download from your website; however, this data has previously been submitted as part of the CFR return. Providing this information will save the aggregated cost to schools and local authorities of me asking each individually for this information.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Dave Kelly
