Fraud is the trigger. Resilience is the destination.
Fee-payment fraud is rising, and the “bogus bursar” scam has caught even well-run schools off guard. But fraud is rarely a technology failure. It is an operational one. Schools that rely on manual controls, disconnected systems and after-the-fact reporting carry risk they often cannot see.
This audit benchmarks your school’s financial resilience in around four minutes. You’ll get an overall score, a rating against each of the three pillars below, and practical recommendations, whatever systems you use today.
Answer honestly rather than aspirationally. The benchmark is only useful if it reflects where your school actually is.
