Failure to Prevent Fraud and Anti-Greenwashing summaries

We have created two short guides to new and upcoming legislation that will impact universities and higher education providers, with the help of compliance and ethics expert, Keith Read. The new Failure to Prevent Fraud offence comes into effect in September 2025, and the FCA's Anti-Greenwashing rules have been in effect since May 2024. You can find out how both could impact your organisation using these links.

Finance and other systems used in universities

We've gathered information from our members about which financial and other systems they use, and captured the finance system for 123 universities/higher education providers, plus the systems/software used for payroll, expenses, CT returns, VAT returns, and global mobility for many of them.
