Annual accounts
The annual report and accounts set out our overall financial position, detailing the financial transactions relating to our activities for the last financial year. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the CIPFA Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting. The statement of accounts is independently audited and certified by Grant Thornton, who produces an annual audit letter.
In addition to the annual accounts, we produce a summary written in "plain English" to highlight key areas of spending and available cash balances held at the end of each year.
