Statement of Accounts 2022-23

The external audit of the draft statement of accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 has not yet been completed by the Council’s external auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, due to the complex set of factors contributing to audit delays across the sector.

This situation is allowed for by Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015.

Therefore, this notification explains, as per paragraph (2a), that the Council are not yet able to publish the audited 2022/23 final statement of accounts in line with deadline of 30th September 2023, as per paragraph (1).

The Audit Committee will consider the results of the 2022/23 audit once they are received, after which the final audited accounts will be published.
