Introduction
The Department for Education (DfE) have changed the Consistent Financial Reporting format ready for the Financial Year 2018 Year End.
The DfE has changed the CFR area E28 for Bought in Professional Services into E28a and E28b.
E28a will include all the existing codes. E28b will need to contain 4 new Ledger Codes. The 4 new codes are for schools with
PFI (Private Finance Initiative), where the schools premises are managed by a management company.
This bulletin is designed to guide you through the setup of the new codes and how to map them in the CFR part of FMS, once set up.

Cost Groups and Cost Centres
PFI schools will need to post journals to move any PFI expenditure to the new PFI Ledger Codes before the Year End, so that it is recorded against the correct CFR area. The new Ledger Codes will therefore need to be mapped to Cost Centres. All future PFI expenditure should be posted to the new Ledger Codes.
You may wish to set up a new Cost Group E28b and new Cost Centres for this purpose, or alternatively you may wish to map the new Ledger Codes to existing Cost Centres.
Please contact the Helpdesk if you need assistance with setting up Cost Centres and linking the new Ledger Codes.
