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 2022/23 by the first working day in June as required by paragraph 15 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (as amended) due to a delay in external information to enable the completion of technical accounting in respect of pensions.
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 2022/23 Statement of Accounts have been finalised.

NOTICE OF LATE PUBLICATION OF AUDITED ACCOUNTS
Under regulations 10 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (as amended), the Council was required to publish the audited Statement of Accounts on or before 30th November.
The Council has been unable to meet this requirement due to a national issue on pension valuations which has held up the sign-off of the accounts by the Council’s external auditors.
The audited Statement of Accounts will be published as soon as they have been signed off by the external auditors.
