Audit of accounts 2019/20 - Notice of late publication
The Council's final statement of accounts will not be published by the required deadline of 30 November 2020 as required by the Regulation 10 paragraph (1) of the Accounts and Audit regulations 2015 as amended by The Accounts and Audit (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020. Our external auditors, Deloitte LLP, were unable to complete their audit due to an unresolved query with the historical balance on the revaluation reserve and capital adjustment account, which caused a delay in the approval and publication of the 2018/19 Statement of Accounts, coupled with the added demand and work priority on Council staff in supporting the Councils response to the COVID-19 pandemic emergency.
This notice is issued under Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015.
The Council's Audit Committee will consider the results of the 2019/20 audit at a future meeting following the conclusion of the external audit, after which the final audited accounts will be published.
