Notice of delay of publication of unaudited accounts (for the financial year ending 31 March 2024)

The Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2015 - Regulation 10, as amended by The Accounts and Audit (Amendment) Regulations 2021 require the Council to publish the unaudited Statement of Accounts for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 by 31 May 2024.

Notice is given that:

  1. The Council has not published the Statement of Accounts by 31 May and therefore the period for public inspection will not commence on 3 June 2024.
  2. The delay has arisen due to the continued complexity and disclosure requirements of Local Government financial reporting, and the inherent need to meet internal assurance requirements. The Council will publish the Statement of Accounts as soon as is practicable. 

31 May 2024
