Financial Documents

This page provides access to key financial documents and information relating to the Council’s finances. It is part of our commitment to transparency and accountability, ensuring residents and stakeholders can easily view how public funds are managed.

You will find a range of documents covering the Council’s budget, annual accounts, and statutory reporting requirements, including our Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR).

Financial records are published annually and are subject to both internal and external audit, in accordance with relevant regulations.

What you can find here:

• Budget information – outlining planned income and expenditure for the financial year
• Year-end accounts – detailing actual financial performance and position
• AGAR documents – including governance statements and accounting statements
• External audit reports and certificates – providing independent assurance
• Schedules of payments – showing payments made by the Council
• Budget monitoring reports – tracking financial performance throughout the year

These documents are organised by financial year, allowing you to easily access both current and historic records.

Transparency and accountability

The Council is committed to maintaining high standards of financial management and openness. By publishing these documents, we aim to give a clear picture of how resources are allocated, spent, and reviewed.

If you require further information or assistance in understanding any of the documents, please contact the Council office.
