2009 to 2010
Statement of accounts
The Council's Statement of Accounts aims to give all interested parties (local electors, those subject to locally levied taxes and charges, members of the Authority) clear information about the Council's finances. It demonstrates:
- what the Council's services cost in the year
- where the money came from
- what the Council's assets and liabilities were at the year end.
It is compiled in accordance with the relevant code of practice and satisfies all legislative requirements. It is necessarily a technical document which receives considerable audit scrutiny to give all stakeholders the confidence that public money has been properly accounted for. A much simpler summary version is also available on the website, and casual readers may like to refer to that summary in the first instance.
Following receipt of an unqualified audit certificate, and presentation of its “Annual report to those charged with governance” by our external auditors, Grant Thornton, these accounts were finally approved by Audit Committee on September 27th, 2010.
