We have met the statutory requirement to publish our audited statement of accounts by 30 September 2011. The accounts received an 'unmodified' opinion, meaning that the external auditors were satisfied that the statements present a true and fair view of the financial position of the authority as at 31 March 2011. Their final report to those charged with governance is available.
