BIRMINGHAM ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

BASBM exists to support and promote school business management practitioners in the c. 400 Birmingham schools in which they work. Their duties include matters essential for schools to thrive such as Finance, HR, Compliance, Governance, etc. and the competent exercise of these duties has become critical to education in schools with the growth of academies and funding constraints.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received income from Government contracts
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently
