Agenda Item No. 5
- Local government bodies publish their Statements of Accounts later in the year than most other parts of the public sector;
- The accounts of local government bodies constitute a significant component of the UK-wide Whole of Government Accounts and the current local government timetable is considered to be one of the barriers to HM Treasury bringing forward the publication date of those accounts; and
- The equivalent regulations which apply to English local authorities will bring forward the dates for the preparation and publication of statements of accounts for the financial year beginning in April 2017. This will provide further disparity between the timetables for local government bodies in England and Wales.
