Statement of Accounts Year Ended 31 March 2022, 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2024
Notice of inspection: Audit of Accounts 2021/22, 2022/23 and 2023/24

Following the conclusion of the 2020-21 Accounts in April 2024, there will be a delay in the publication of the draft Statement of Accounts for 2023/24.

Due to the delay in the publication of the audited Statement of Accounts for 2020/21 there has been a subsequent delay to the publication of the 2022/23 Statement of Accounts. This has impacted on the completion of the 2023/24 Accounts as these are reliant on the conclusion of the prior years for comparatives for the extensive disclosure required within the Accounts. The 2021/22 Statement of Accounts are published as a draft document following the update from the conclusion of the 2020/21 audit.

As the 2023/24 Accounts are not yet drafted the period of exercise of public rights has not commenced.

Further notifications will be placed on the website once the 2023/24 Draft Statement of Accounts is available for public inspection.
