Annual budgets and financial report

Revenue and capital budgets

As part of the terms of reference of the Accountancy Service, the statutory budgets are produced. These detailed budgets are summarised for Publication as the Revenue and Capital Budgets.

The budgets are split into sections that are accessible via the links below. The linked documents contain budgeted and actual expenditure. Note that actual expenditure is included for comparative purposes only and that the figures are rounded to the nearest whole pound. Whilst the rounding adjustments do not affect the accuracy of the data, they can result in minor discrepancies between the expenditure, subtotals and totals shown.

Annual financial report

We publish an Annual Financial Report in a format which is prescribed by CIPFA (The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accounting). 

The accounts show how money has been spent in the financial year.

In accordance with Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2015, the Public Notice in regards to inspecting, questioning or objecting to the Council's Annual Financial Report, Audit of Accounts Public Notice is available:

Audit of Accounts Public Notice 2022 to 2023 (PDF) [80KB]

The accounts for each financial year are subject to external audit, after which the Auditor's Annual Report is received.

Under the 2020 Code of Practice for Local Government bodies the Council has received from a letter from Ernst & Young LLP regarding the reason for the delay for the audit of accounts for 2021/22.
