This job description sets out the duties and responsibilities of the post at the time when it was drawn up.

Appendix A: Accounting Officer Responsibilities

The Accounting Officer responsibilities are given the Academies Trust Handbook sections 1.31 – 1.38. The designated responsibilities are:

• Give assurance (to Parliament and the public) of high standards of probity in the management of public funds, particularly regularity, propriety and value for money

• ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
• holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the performance management of staff
