Outline of Final Research Achievements

We first clarified how a practice of school financial affairs should be, based on precedent practices of school financial affairs and school autonomy. Next, we examined evaluation systems and practices of school financial affairs and created a model practice of school financial evaluation. By evaluating at each stage of the process, ex. financial planning (Plan), budget implementation (Do), and account settlement (Check), we can improve upon the whole practice of financial affairs to make it more autonomous.
In addition, we made an online survey for school clerks throughout the country on the practice and system of school financial affairs and cleared up how the practice model is being realized. Also, we published a book which illustrates how much parents spend at their own expense, which is the object of our research on evaluation and practice of school financial affairs.
