ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT REGULATIONS 2015
REGULATIONS 9, 14, 15
Delay to Public Inspection of Unaudited Statement of Accounts for the year
ending March 2024
Cannock Chase District Council's financial year runs from April to March and
following the end of each financial year it publishes an annual statement of accounts.
The accounts are one of the means by which the Council demonstrates its
stewardship of public money and they present the financial position of the Council as
at 31 March each year. They are produced in the format stipulated by the Chartered
Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) in accordance with best
accounting practice.
Under the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 we are required to publish our draft
Statement of Accounts, Narrative Report and Annual Governance Statement for the
year ended 31 March 2024, and to commence the 30 working day period for the
exercise of public rights, by 31 May 2024.
Where we are unable to meet this deadline we are required to confirm this in a public
notice which sets out our reasons. This statement fulfils that requirement, as
specified in section 15 (1A) of The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015.
We have been unable to publish our Statement of Accounts, Narrative Report and
Annua Governance Statement for the year ended 31 March 2024 by 31 May 2024
because of competing priorities within our finance team and resource available to
meet this deadline. We will publish these documents as soon as they have been
approved by the authority and signed on its behalf, and then issue a notice
commencing the period for the exercise of public rights.
