Master Reporting Templates

Two versions of the template are available for the 2025/26 reporting period. Please download the version that aligns with the public body’s annual accounting period:

  1. Financial/Calendar Year
    This version should be used by public bodies operating financial accounting periods either from April through March or from January through December.
  2. Academic Year – will be available June/July
    To be used by public bodies operating financial accounting periods either from July through August or August through September.

All reports must be submitted by email to ccreporting@ed.ac.uk no later than 30th November 2026.

Reporting Guidance
The guidance reflects legal requirements, statutory instruments, and policies in effect during the 2025/26 reporting period. The next iteration—planned for release alongside the Academic template in June/July —will align more closely with the Public Bodies Climate Change Duties: Statutory Guidance (March 2026), which takes full effect for reports due November 2027 (covering 2026/27).
