Statement of Accounts
The Accounts and Audit (Amendment) Regulations 2021 extended the statutory audit deadlines for 2020/21 and 2021/22. The requirement for the public inspection period to include the first 10 working days of June has been removed for 2020/21 and 2021/22, instead local authorities must commence the public inspection period on or before the first working day of August. This means the draft unaudited accounts must be published by 31 July at the latest, however it may be published earlier. The Council will publish the dates of its public inspection period as soon as the draft 2021/22 statement of accounts has been published. The statutory period for the publication of audited accounts for 2021/22 has also been moved from 31 July to 30 November.

Statement of Accounts 2020/21
Our auditors Mazars LLP have conducted a full and detailed audit of the Statement of Accounts 2020/21. They have reported to the Council's Audit and Standards Committee, and Accounts Committee, and provided their opinion on the accounts which are now published below.
The Statement of Accounts 2020/21 have been approved and authorised for issue under delegation granted at the Accounts Committee on 30 September 2021.
Mazars LLP cannot formally conclude the audit and issue a certificate until they have completed:
The work necessary to issue their assurance statement in respect of the Council's Whole of Government Accounts; and
The work necessary to ensure the Council has made proper arrangements for securing economy, efficiency and effectiveness in its use of resources.
Once this work is complete the final certificate of the completion of the audit will be published together with a public notice explaining the rights of local electors to inspect the accounts and audit opinion/certificate.
