Statement of Accounts

After the end of each financial year, the Council has to publish a formal set of accounts. This includes:

  • a narrative report
  • a statement of its income and expenditure for the year
  • a statement showing the value of its assets at the end of the year
  • a statement showing the movement in its cash balances

The Statement of Accounts have been compiled in accordance with the Local Authority Accounting Code of Practice in force at the time.  The Statement of Accounts are subject to independent audit by an auditor appointed by Public Sector Appointments Limited from 1 April 2015, or the Audit Commission prior to 31 March 2015.

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS 2024/25

NOTICE OF LATE PUBLICATION FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION

The Council has been unable to commence the statutory period for public inspection of the Council’s accounting records for 2024/25 by the 1st  July as required by paragraph 15 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (as amended) due to a number of reasons, including a delay in information being received from external parties, staff resources and additional accounting adjustments required as a result of a new accounting standard.

The Statement of Accounts will be published for public inspection as soon as reasonably practicable and a further notice will be published in due course setting out the public inspection period once the draft 2024/25 Statement of Accounts have been completed.
