Annual accounts
A Statement of Accounts is produced at the end of each financial year in accordance with proper practices as set out in the CIPFA/LASAAC Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting. The Statement of Accounts is comprised of:
- The Narrative Statement
- A Statement of Responsibilities
- The Core Accounting Statements
- Notes to the Accounts
- Supplementary Accounting Statements – Collection Fund
From the 2016/17 financial year, the Annual Governance Statement is now presented alongside the Statement of Accounts and not as part of the main document. Please see our Annual governance statement page for details.

Audit Certificates
Our external auditor, Mazars, has issued an unqualified opinion on the Authority’s 2024/25 financial statements. The audit certificate is not yet issued whilst awaiting NAO guidance to complete the Whole of Government Accounts reporting. The certificate will be issued once that process is concluded.
Latest auditor’s management letters
Our auditors are Mazars. Each year they produce a management letter which summarises the main points of their audit of our accounts and comments on the financial standing of the council.
