Annual statement of accounts

At the end of each financial year (31 March) we are required by law to produce a Statement of Accounts which provides a true and fair view of our financial position.

This includes a Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Statement which shows the total value of transactions analysed by service during the year and also the balance sheet which provides a snapshot of the council's overall financial position as at 31 March.

Audit Completion and Publication of Accounts

Please note that Regulation 16(1) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 requires the Council to publish a statement:

that the audit has been concluded
that the statement of accounts has been published
of the rights of inspection conferred in local government electors by section 25 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 and the address at which, and the hours during which, those rights may be exercised.

As of 28 February 2025, the auditors have completed their audit of the accounts and issued an unqualified audit opinion. A final certificate of completion has not been issued until the auditors have completed the work necessary in relation to consolidation returns, including Whole of Government Accounts (WGA), and the National Audit Office has concluded their work in respect of WGA for the year ended 31 March 2024. The notice of conclusion of the audit will be added to the website alongside the audit certificate as soon as this is issued.
