The financial accountability (FA) and financial questionnaire (FQ) data collections will not open on 2 April 2026 as previously advised. The timing has been adjusted to align with the availability of supporting system functionality and guidance. Further information on revised commencement timing will be provided as soon as it is available.
FA and FQ policy requirements, reporting obligations, and payment arrangements remain unchanged. Approved authorities will also still need to submit their FA and FQ data on the Education Funding System by 30 June 2026.
Approved authorities are encouraged to continue working with their external auditor and independent qualified accountant to prepare financial information ahead of revised commencement dates.
