Annual Accounts

By law, the Council must produce and publish details of its financial affairs which are subject to internal financial controls, internal and external audit inspection.
The Council produces the following reports:
Statement of Receipts and Payments – all monies received and paid out during the financial year.
Income and Expenditure Account, Balance Sheet and Supporting Statements – this is a record of all amounts received and expected to be received, and expenditure incurred, but not yet paid. This is a requirement under the statutory legislation.
Annual Return provides evidence to local residents that the Council’s accounts have been inspected and found to reflect accurately the Council’s financial position. This Return includes an assurance from the Council as a corporate body of its awareness of its responsibility for its financial affairs, and that it meets its requirements for accountability for public money.
