Annual accounts

All councils have to publish a Statement of Accounts covering specified matters. It shows how we have used public money, and that we have been honest and responsible. We try to make the accounts meet the needs of a wide range of stakeholders, but to see how well we deliver individual services you may also want to look at our Annual Reports.

Our external auditors conduct a full and detailed examination of the draft accounts, which underpins their accounts audit letter.

The Statement of Accounts

The Statement of Accounts is an annual publication that sets out exactly what we spent. This publication is designed to fit in with the latest regulations and guidance on the production of accounts for local authorities. The Annual Governance Statement is summarised in the Statement of accounts each year. This is presented to the Audit Committee each June.
