Trusts don't know what additional income streams they will receive from one year to the next, said a Kreston auditor, Kevin Connor.
The accountants found that many more schools would have been in deficit but for ad hoc grants averaging 60k for primaries and 200k for secondaries, as well as 447m in energy efficiency grants awarded by the Department for Education last year.
But the simple fact is that costs are increasing faster than funding and schools are constantly asked to do more with less.
