FPSAdvance.net
We are moving towards a working version of FPSadvance.net that will be ready for October. This will enable schools to transfer data from the current budgeting software and will enable schools to link their longer term financial forecasts to their School Development Plan.
Workshops are planned for October/November - see the course page of the website.
