Closure of audits in respect of previous years

Regulation 16 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 requires that, following the conclusion of the external audit of our financial statements, we must publish a statement on our website confirming the audit has been concluded.

We can confirm that our external auditor has concluded their audit of our financial statements up to and including the financial statements for the 2022/23 financial year.

Regulation 16(1) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 states that a local government elector for any area to which the accounts relates may inspect and make copies of the audited Statement of Accounts, the local auditor’s opinion on the Statement of Accounts and the local auditor’s certificate.

The audited statement of accounts, which includes the local auditor’s opinion, can be downloaded by following the links above.

The auditor’s certificate forms part of the published audit opinion for the financial years 2016/17 to 2019/20 and 2022/23. It can be obtained by downloading the relevant published audited financial statements.

The auditor’s certificate for later years is available using the following links:
