ACCOUNTS AND AUDIT REGULATIONS 2015 NOTICE PUBLICATION OF 2020/21 ACCOUNTS (1)

AUTHORITY COMPREHENSIVE INCOME AND EXPENDITURE STATEMENT

The Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Statement shows the accounting cost in the year of providing the Authority’s services in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, rather than the amount to be funded from resources. The reconciliation from the accounting cost to the funding position is shown in both the Expenditure and Funding Analysis and the Movement in Reserves Statement.

The 2019/2020 comparatives have been restated in line with the Code with further details in note 38 Prior period adjustments.

The Authority Movement in Reserves Statement shows the movement in the year on the different reserves held by the Authority, analysed into ‘usable reserves’ (i.e. those that can be applied to fund expenditure) and ‘unusable reserves’ (i.e. those allocated for specific purposes). This statement shows how the movements in the year are broken down between gains and losses incurred in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices and the statutory adjustments required to return to the amounts to be funded from resources.

The 2019/2020 comparatives have been restated in line with the Code with further details in note 38 Prior period adjustments.

The Group Movement in Reserves Statement shows the movement in the year on the different reserves held by the Group, analysed into ‘usable reserves’ (i.e. those that can be applied to fund expenditure) and ‘unusable reserves’ (i.e. those allocated for specific purposes).

The Balance Sheet shows the value as at the Balance Sheet date of the assets and liabilities recognised by the Authority and the Group. The net assets (assets less liabilities) are matched by the reserves held by the Authority and the Group. Reserves are reported in two categories – usable and unusable. Usable reserves are those that may be used to provide services, subject to the need to maintain a prudent level of reserves and any statutory limitations on their use. Unusable reserves are those that the Authority and the Group is not able to use for the provision of services. This category of reserves includes reserves that hold unrealised gains and losses (for example the Revaluation Reserve) and reserves that hold timing differences in capital investment (the Capital Adjustment Account).

This financial report replaces the unaudited financial report certified by Linda Horne on 27 May 2021. They were approved for issue by the Audit, Risk and Assurance Committee on 2 November 2021 and. Events after the Balance Sheet date have been considered up to the date of approval.

The Cashflow Statement shows the changes in cash and cash equivalents of the Authority and the Group during the reporting period. The statement shows how the Authority and the Group generate and use cash and cash equivalents by classifying cash flows as operating, investing and financing activities. The amount of net cash flows arising from operating activities is a key indicator of the extent to which the operations are funded by way of grant income or from the recipients of services provided by the Authority and the Group. Investing activities represent the extent to which cash outflows have been made for resources which are intended to contribute to the Authority and the Group’s future service delivery.
