“Many university courses lead to SQA qualifications and others have qualifications from other public bodies such as City and Guilds, IMI. EAL or NCFE. The college cannot make decisions on the outcomes of the courses without the agreement of the adjudicator powers and we have discussed with them how we can conclude this year. The Directorate of Access, Competence and Outcome Agreements is responsible for preparing the Council`s outcome agreements with financially-responsible bodies and has responsibilities for access to education and quality. The Council has six committees each responsible for consulting and monitoring various areas of the Council`s activities. [22] The various committees mandate areas such as improving the knowledge of skills required by Scottish industry in partnership with Skills Development Scotland; [23] Promote research and knowledge sharing by HE and FE institutions; [24] Reports on Promoting Equality, Diversity and Participation in Education; [25] Control of the financial capacity of the AAS and internal risk management, corporate governance and auditing sectors; [26] Oversight and reporting on the Commission`s internal financial matters; [27] and to make decisions with the agreement of the Scottish Government[5]:(. 1, paragraph 5) on the remuneration of the Chairman of the Board, the Director General, directors and members. [28] Thus, the 2014/17 result agreement for Edinburgh College included objectives such as increasing Adean non-SFC income from 29% to 35% of the university`s total income, increasing the number of full-time students for internships from 1419 to 5000 and increasing the proportion of women participating in construction and engineering studies from 6.7% to 7.4%. [45]:(S. 14, 18-19) Financial management is responsible for the application of CFS credits with respect to result agreements, protection of CFS credits and advice to FE colleges. Each CFS-funded institution provides funding through a results agreement. The agreements define what the institution has to do with the funds and the objectives it must achieve with those funds.

[40] If an institution does not have to agree, the CFS may apply for funding from that institution. [41]3 In 2009, the CFS threatened to recover money from Stow College after requesting $988,000 in funding for courses that the Auditor General considered ineligible for Scotland. [42] [43] After reviewing the eligibility of the college`s funding programs, the CFS recovered $2.88 million, which will be paid over seven years beginning in November 2009. [44]:The CFS itself is funded mainly by the Scottish Government, but its budget also receives minor contributions from the government, the European Social Fund (ESF) and recovery agreements with fundable entities.
