Higher education sector 2024 updates

In our 2024 sector webinar, our expert team shared updates on emerging and important topics impacting the higher education (HE) sector, as well as financial reporting and legal updates. 

The HE sector continues to face a difficult period of recovery, and the future remains uncertain. The combination of higher costs, fixed tuition fee rates and increased pressure to provide best outcomes for students have made for a difficult period, with resilience needed more than ever. 

Our 2024 webinar reviews these risks along with emerging issues, such as legislative changes and environmental reporting. It also includes insight on the new FRS 102 amends, and the proposed revisions to ISA 250 and what this means for the sector. 

We highlight news from key stakeholders, including the British Universities Finance Directors Group (BUFDG) and the Office for Students (OfS), as well as some important information regarding VAT, tax and pensions. 

We take an in-depth look at the HE sector in our 2024 development report which can be downloaded here. 

The session covered: 

• Risks facing the higher education sector including financial sustainability and political changes

• Financial reporting matters including the new FRS 102, changes to ISA 250 and environmental reporting

• VAT, tax, pensions and related-party reminders
