Financial benchmarking

Financial benchmarking is the comparison of expenditure or income, under particular budget headings, of similar schools.

Use of benchmarking data can contribute towards improving the effective use of the schools financial resources.

Resources should always be applied to best effect and benchmarking will allow schools to assess how close they are to achieving this.
