Eligible Student Audit Report
Introduction
This report creates the Eligible Student (ES) Audit Report for Independent Schools. The report contains student enrollment data that can be provided to an independent auditor and used to complete the ES Audit Form. The ES Audit Form must be prepared by the school's auditor and the school must certify and submit the form to the ministry annually to obtain funding for the students attending the school who are eligible for funding. The report is submitted to the ministry once yearly between May 15th and June 15th for the just ending school year in order to receive the ministry grant payments paid to the schools on June 30th and October 31st.
