A college is under fire for failing to publish accounts for the fourth year in a row.
The “unusual” situation at Brooklands College comes amid a £20 million clawback dispute with the government following an apprenticeship subcontracting scandal, which was uncovered in 2018 but remains unresolved.
A union has criticised the “lack of transparency” which amounts to a breach of the college’s funding agreement with the Education and Skills Funding Agency
The Surrey-based college recently announced plans to sell a historic building and land in a deal understood to be in the region of £45 million to help balance the books. Stakeholders who fear they are being kept in the dark about the scale of financial problems, have called for the college to open its books.
