I have been rounding up for co-investment, but only to two decimal places! I'll find out what's being churned out in the ILR file. Thank you everyone

We also use ECCTIS as a database that confirms whether they are equivalent or not. Alternatively you could ask the learner to get a Statement of Comparability but there is a fee for this and the outcome may be that it is not equivalent: https://enic.org.uk/Qualifications/SOC/Default.aspx

I agree with Louise, I use the Apps Monthly Payments as the primary source of info on where our funding is coming from, or in this case, where it may need to be collected from employers. It will show you a breakdown of levy payments, ESFA co-investment and employer co-investment. In your Period End Reports there will also be 'co-investment' reports as Louise outlines - I tend to use that for reconciliation purposes e.g. when a learner withdraws, checking have we collected 100% of the co-investment due.

It would be good if ESFA provided guidance on this as we were told something completely different... We record the achievement date and update the completion status when we know the apprentice has either re-sit and passed, or we have confirmation that they are not planning to re-sit (in which case they are recorded with no achievement using their original EPA date).

Agree with the suggestions above - we highlight any additional costs to employers at the outset.

Could these be insufficient levy funds for the 20% completion payment?

P151 only refers to eligible costs... I agree with Tracy but have heard contradictory opinions on this. It would be interesting to see what other providers think.

Ruth Canham-James How do you deal with rounding on a month-to-month basis? For example with levy payers that need to co-invest 20.5782 according to the report?

Not sure about a calculator but there are some worked examples here https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/apprenticeships-recognition-of-prior-learning/apprenticeships-initial-assessment-to-recognise-prior-learning

We raised the queries with ESFA to be sure by providing them with the learner's ULN. This was the response: We haven't got a final release date yet for this to go live. Providers will still receive 95% of funding at the moment but this should be resolved after the release goes live.
