Schools

Independent schools face numerous challenges; rising levels of bad debts and falling pupil numbers, competition from other educational options, high expectations from parents, pressure to demonstrate public benefit and ever-rising pension liabilities.

Mazars has always demonstrated a commitment to this sector and has the experience to understand the issues and work with governors, bursars and finance teams to meet these challenges.

Working with the sector

How can we help
The Independent School sector is very important to Mazars and we are committed to helping in its continuous development and success. Our Education Sector Focus Group is evidence of our commitment to the sector. The Group meets on a regular basis and has representatives in all departments. It develops our strategy for serving the sector as well as meeting to share information, concerns, the regulators’ latest thinking and anything else that will help our specialists to provide the best service possible. If you wish, we can provide training to the School’s finance team and to members of its Finance or Audit Committee to assist them in keeping up to date with sector developments. We provide periodic briefings on a variety of relevant areas.
