Annually, an independently appointed external auditor undertakes a review of the Council's performance, including a specific audit of the Council's Statement of Accounts.

Following completion of this work, the auditor produces an Annual Audit Letter.  The Annual Audit Letter summarises the conclusions of the audit and inspection programme for the financial year and comments, where appropriate, on any other related issures.

The most recent Annual Audit Letter for 2006/2007 which was issued to the Council in March 2008 can be found on this page.

The appointed auditor for the Council is the Audit Commision.  If you wish to contact the auditor, the contact details are: -
