Controversies
In 2012 the
Education Funding Agency carried out an investigation into concerns about potential financial irregularities in the Trust. The report found that "The financial management of the Federation has not been of a standard necessary for an organisation of its current size. Regularity and transparency in the use of public funds has not been demonstrated".
