Annual accounts
Last updated 15 November 2024
Each year we have to produce a set of accounts. The formal document is the Statement of Accounts which sets out the financial aspects of our activities and draws attention to the main characteristics of our financial position.
The accounts are currently audited by Bishop Fleming LLP and the audit of the 2023-24 accounts has been completed in advance of the statutory deadline of 28 February 2025, with the Statement of Accounts 2023-24 published below.
The Chief Financial Officer is responsible for the preparation of the statement of accounts in accordance with the Code of Practice of Local Authority Accounting in the United Kingdom.
