Notice of delayed audit opinion
The completion of the audit of the 2019/20 statement of accounts, annual governance statement and narrative report has been delayed and therefore notice is given that the accounts will not be signed or an audit opinion issued by 30 November 2020. The delay is due to continuing additional audit work required, in order to finalise matters first raised in respect of the 2018/19 statements, which must be completed before the audit can be concluded.
The Council will publish the statement of accounts together with the audit certificate or opinion entered by the local auditor as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of any report from the auditor which contains the auditor's final findings from the audit which is issued before the conclusion of the audit.
This notice is in compliance with the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 in relation to the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014.
