The Statement of Accounts reports the council’s annual financial position, consolidating assets, liabilities, expenditure and income for all its services.
The accounts for 2023/24 were signed by our external auditors on 21 February 2025 in advance of the statutory backstop publication date of 28 February 2025.The external audit for year ended 31 March 2024 was delayed due to the complex set of factors contributing to audit delays across the sector. The plan to remedy the situation and bring audit of accounts back to the original timetable is covered by legislation in the Accounts and Audit (Amendment) Regulations 2024.
