STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS 2009/10

Further to the copy of the report on the Statement of Accounts for 2009/10 which had been circulated with the agenda, Members received an Errata List which detailed changes arising due the amendment of a single transaction in relation to the Artrix roof. The change of approximately £147,000 impacted across numerous statements and notes but did not affect the previously reported increase in general fund balances for the year.

The recommendations from the Cabinet meeting held earlier that day were tabled and moved by Councillor G. N. Denaro and seconded by Councillor R. Hollingworth.

During the debate a number of comments and queries were raised by Councillor P. M. McDonald to which the relevant Portfolio Holder and Section 151 Officer responded. The Section 151 Officer undertook to provide further information in relation to some matters where she was unable to provide detailed answers.    

RESOLVED:

(a)               that the unaudited Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2010 be approved, subject to any revision based on the matters raised at the meeting in relation to clarification of wording and a note to the accounts;

(b)               that the increase in the 2010/11 Capital Programme of £1.192m in relation to the carry forward requests as set out in Appendix 2 to the report be approved;

(c)                that the Annual Governance Statement be approved; and

(d)               that the outturn position on revenue and capital as detailed in the report be noted.
