Wbg wins reappointment to Department for Education Funding Assurance framework

Following a re-tender process, Wbg, one of Scotland’s leading independent specialist full-service accountancy firms, has won a reappointment to the Department for Education’s Funding Assurance framework for the next three years.

The firm remains the sole independent Scottish accountancy practice to be awarded slots on the prestigious framework; its initial appointment having marked the first time the framework opened itself up from dominance by the larger national accountancy firms.

The appointment will see Wbg deliver funding assurance work on behalf of the DfE over the next three academic years.

Graham Gillespie, Partner and head of internal audit, said: “Winning this reappointment to this framework illustrates that we are considered to be one of the main players in the delivery of audit and assurance services to the education sector in England.

“Having built our client base steadily via organic growth over the last two decades, this reappointment signifies that we are recognised by the Department for Education as a main player in this sector, fully able to compete head-to-head with the larger national and international firms and win through our delivery of specialist services from a partner-led senior management team.”
