Financial year 1 April 2023 – 31 March 2024

Notice on the Audit of the 2023-24 Accounts

Please note that Regulation 16 (1) of The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 requires the Council to publish (which must include publication on its website) a statement:

• that the audit has been concluded
• that the statement of accounts has been published
• of the rights of inspection conferred in local government electors by section 25 of the Act and the address at which, and the hours during which, those rights may be exercised.

Whilst the financial statements audit is concluded, the Auditors cannot at this stage formally conclude the audit and issue an audit certificate until they have completed the work necessary in relation to consolidation returns, including Whole of Government Accounts (WGA), and the National Audit Office has concluded their work in respect of WGA for the year ended 31 March 2024. The notice of conclusion of the audit will be added to the website alongside the audit certificate as soon as this is issued. The final set of audited accounts can be found below.
