The Statement of Accounts shows the financial performance of the council over the year. It also provides information about things that may affect the council's performance in the future.

Delay to Public Inspection of Unaudited Statement of Accounts for the year ending March 2024

The Council are required to publish its unaudited 2023-2024 Statement of Accounts by 31 May 2024, and make arrangements for their public inspection.

This however has not been feasible given delays in the audit of its 2022-2023 Statement of Accounts.

The audit of the 2022-23 Statement of Accounts has recently been completed (with an unqualified audit opinion), thereby allowing Council resources the time to finalise the drafting of the 2023-2024 Statement of Accounts.

The Council will publish the dates of its public inspection period as soon as the drafting of its 2023-2024 Statement of Accounts is complete.
