The Council is required to present its accounts, approved by the Chief Finance Officer, for audit by 30 June. Following the completion of the audit of the accounts the Audit Committee will receive a report on the audit from KPMG and be asked to approve the accounts for publication. Although the presentation of the draft accounts to Cabinet is not part of the formal decision making process it enables members to gain an understanding of the financial statements and raise any issues at an early stage of the process.
