Financial reporting due 30 June

If your early learning service was open for a full financial year in 2015 and received over $80,000 (including GST) from the Ministry of Education, you need to submit your audited financial statements by 30 June 2016.

If your service operated for only part of the financial year and/or you received less than $80,000 (including GST) from the Ministry, you will need to complete and submit a declaration form by 30 June 2016.

Statements and forms can be sent by email to resourcing@education.govt.nz or by post to Ministry of Education, Resourcing Division, PO Box 1666, Wellington 6140.

Funding may be withheld if your financial statements are overdue or if your statements do not meet the financial reporting requirements as outlined in Circular 2016/01.

For more information on submitting your financial reporting to the Ministry, please see our FAQs.

Please note: The financial report you are submitting needs to be for the correct financial year and include all documents, including your independent auditor’s report.
