Statement of accounts

West Suffolk Council statement of accounts

The external audit of the draft statement of accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 has not yet been completed by our external auditors, EY LLP, due to the planned phased approach to delivering the 2020 to 2021 audits. This situation is allowed for by Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. (See legislation.gov.uk - The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015). Therefore this notification explains, as per paragraph (2a), that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2020 to 2021 final statement of accounts in line with deadline of 30 September 2021, as per paragraph (1). The Performance and Audit Scrutiny Committee will consider the results of the 2020 to 2021 audit at its meeting on 18 November 2021, after which we will publish the final audited accounts.
