Decision details

The Committee considered the letter of representation and the process for the approval of the Statement of Accounts for 2022/23 and considered the Audit Completion Report from the Council’s external auditors following their work on these accounts.

The auditors are yet to complete their work in respect of the Value for Money conclusion for the year ended 31 March 2023. At the time of preparing their report, Forvis Mazars had not identified any significant weaknesses in the Council’s arrangements that require it to make a recommendation.

RESOLVED that:

1. The updated Statement of Accounts 2022/23 and letter of representation as circulated be approved; and

2. Delegation be given to the Deputy Chief Executive and Section 151 Officer, in consultation with the Chair of this Committee, to approve any further changes required to the Statement of Accounts 2022/23.
