Statement of accounts

How we manage finances

Our Financial Procedure Rules outline how we manage finances. These form part of our Constitution.

How we make the annual statement of accounts public

There are 4 stages to providing the annual statement of accounts:

We produce a statement of accounts.
We display a public notice here to advise you when you can inspect and make copies of the statement of accounts.
We display another public notice to advise you when the accounts have been audited by an external auditor.
The external audit findings report along with audited Statement of Accounts are presented to our Audit and Governance Committee for approval.
