Statement of Accounts 2024/25

Notice of Delay to Publication of the Unaudited Draft Statement of Accounts 2024/25
Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 – Regulation 15 The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015, as amended by the Accounts and Audit (Amendment) Regulations 2022, required us to publish draft Statement of Accounts 2024 to 2025 (for the year ended 31 March 2025), certified by the Head of Finance & Resources (Chief Financial Officer) and subject to audit, on or before 30 June 2025.

The Council hereby gives notice of a delay to the publication of the Pre-audited Draft Statement of Accounts for 2024-25 in line with publication date of 30 June 2025 as per the Accounts and Audit (Amendments) Regulations 2022. The commencement of the public inspection period has also been delayed. 

The delay in publishing the unaudited Statement of Accounts, annual governance statement and narrative statement for 2024-25 is due to delayed completion of the 2023-24 Statement of Accounts and capacity issues in the accountancy team. The team have seen a high turnover of staff over the last 12 months and recruitment and retention remains challenging.

Once the Council is able to publish its Pre-audited Draft Statement of Accounts for 2024-25 the Council will ensure that the public have a right to inspect the accounts on the day after publication and for the appropriate period as required by the Accounts and Audit (amendments) Regulations 2022.

Statement of Accounts 2023/24

Notice of Delay to Publication of the Unaudited Draft Statement of Accounts 2023/24
Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 – Regulation 9A(9) The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015, as recently amended, require local bodies to publish audited accounts (specifically, their accountability statements, defined in regulation 9A(9), which includes the audit opinion) by statutory backstop dates. To help clear the backlog, the Regulations include a backstop of 13 December 2024 for financial years up-to-and-including 2022/23. Where auditors have been unable to complete audits, they will issue a disclaimed or modified audit opinion.

The Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2015, as recently amended, require the council to publish the unaudited Statement of Accounts for the financial year ending 31st March 2024 by the 17th January 2025.  This deadline was not met for 2023-24 due to the impact of the 2021/2022 & 2022/23 accounts not being signed off which created challenges particularly with capacity in the accountancy team, along with this there was a late change of External Auditors for 2023-24. 

Work is in progress to consolidate the draft accounts for 2023/24 as a priority and produce the statements, once complete this will be followed by the period for the exercise of public inspection to commence. A further notice will be published in due course setting out the public inspection period as soon as the draft 2023/24 Statement of Accounts has been finalised.
