Statement of accounts and annual audit and inspection letter

Statement of Accounts 2023

The external audit of the draft statement of accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 has not yet been completed by our external auditors, EY LLP, due to the complex set of factors contributing to audit delays across the sector. This situation is allowed for by Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. (See attached link: The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (legislation.gov.uk)). Therefore, this notification explains, as per paragraph (2a), that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2022/23 final statement of accounts in line with deadline of 30th September 2023, as per paragraph (1). The audit committee will consider the results of the 2022/23 audit, after which we will publish the final audited accounts.

The draft Statement of Accounts were published on 30th June 2023.

What do you want to know about how the council spends your money? Now’s your chance to tell us.

Every year the council publishes its accounts, listing all financial transactions for the past year.

The summary gives details of the council’s revenue and capital expenditure, the housing account, the council tax, business rates and also the balance sheet.

Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve its presentation – for example, would you prefer to see the summary presented in an annual report outlining how the council is performing? Or do you want to see additional information in this summary? Please email the finance control team.
