Fees collected in advance are a liability until you have taught the term.
Schools and training institutes collect before they deliver, which makes the term’s fees a liability rather than income — the single accounting fact this sector gets wrong most often. Consaya holds them as advances and recognises them as the teaching happens.
Run applications through to a signed fee agreement, with student documents and the payment schedule on file.
A term paid up front sits as an advance and becomes income as the term is delivered — so a strong September does not flatter the whole year.
Payment schedules with real due dates, and reminders that chase the balance instead of a member of staff doing it.
Programmes, modules, delegates, trainers and certificates — in the words a registrar uses.
Authority permits, staff approvals and inspection findings tracked with their renewal dates.
Recognised curriculum education by a licensed institution is zero-rated; commercial short courses generally are not. The two are kept apart so the return is right either way.
