Review of additional student number monitoring arrangements

Summary

Current additional student number (ASN) monitoring arrangements do not allow precise monitoring of where ASNs have been recruited within an institution, giving only an overall view of total student number growth at an institution. KPMG was commissioned to evaluate the effectiveness of the current monitoring system and its fitness for purpose in relation to the new ASN allocation process.

Overall, this report concludes that if the initial requirement for additional monitoring is to ensure that activity was undertaken in the areas where the ASNs were allocated, there is no need for more detailed statistical monitoring of ASNs. If any further monitoring were to be introduced it should be light-touch, with institutions preferring the annual monitoring statement (AMS) as the method of collection.
