Accounts

The council’s final accounts are prepared in accordance with statutory guidelines and the Local Authority Accounting Code of Practice and provide details of the council’s financial activities and of the overall financial position.

The external audit of the draft statement of accounts for the year ended 31 March 2020 has not yet been completed by our external auditors, EY LLP, due to Covid-19 implications, including additional requirements in order to conclude the audit. This situation is allowed for by Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015, as amended by the Accounts and Audit (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 No. 404. (See attached links: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/234/regulation/10/made and https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/404/regulation/2/made). Therefore this notification explains, as per Regulation 10 paragraph (2a), that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2019/20 final statement of accounts in line with publication date of 30th November 2020, as per paragraph (1). Further to the auditors update at the January Audit Committee meeting, the Audit Committee Chair under Delegated powers will consider the final results of the 2019/20 audit by correspondence, after which we will publish the final audited accounts.

Questions about the accounts should be emailed to finance@westlondonwaste.gov.uk.
