Annual Financial Reports

At the end of each financial year the Council is required to produce an Annual Financial Report (formerly referred to as the Statement of Accounts).

The financial statements must be produced in accordance with the requirements of the CIPFA/LASAAC 'Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting in the United Kingdom' published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.

The Annual Financial Report gives a clear, objective and balanced assessment of the Council's performance in the last financial year and includes major influences on the Council's finances for the year in question and the future.

In addition a summary of accounts is produced each year giving an overview of spending on different services.
