Statement of accounts

Each year, we publish a Statement of Accounts.

The statement gives information about our:

  • costs and income for our services for the financial year
  • liabilities and assets at the year end

Statement of Accounts 2022-23

Delay in publishing audited Statement of Accounts: year ended 31 March 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. The delay in publishing is due to requiring to complete the 2021/22 audit and delays in starting the 2022/34 audit.

This situation is allowed for by Regulation 10, paragraph (2) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/234) The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (legislation.gov.uk). This notification explains, as per Regulation 10 (2) (a), that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2022-23 Statement of Accounts in line with the statutory publication date of 30 September 2023.  

The Council is working closely with the external auditor to ensure the required work is completed as soon as possible.  

The Council published a draft Statement of Accounts subject to audit on 30 May 2023, inline with statutory deadline of 30 May 2023.  

The final audited Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 will be published as soon as the audit is concluded, and the Independent Auditor’s Report issued.  

Statement of Accounts 2021-22

Our external auditors (Grant Thornton) have advised us that our external audit for 2021/22 will not be completed until early 2023. One of the main reasons for this is a national technical issue relating to infrastructure assets.

The government will provide a way to allow the accounts to be finalised - we understand a statutory instrument re infrastructure should come into force at the end of December. Find out more about this on CIPFAs website.
