Despite being given extra time to submit the accounts, resulting in two extra meetings of the Audit Committee and an extension being granted by the external auditor, the Tories have still managed to get it wrong.

Cllr Allan Siao Ming Witherick lambasted the Tory run County Council:

“It’s simply incredible. Just days before the meeting, with the final accounts signed off, the Tories have had to issue yet another addendum with further corrections. How can we have faith in any numbers the Tories present to us?

“Is it any wonder the auditor issued a Section 11 report to demand the issue is debated at Full Council?

“All we can do is hope that by then they’ve got their act together.”

Editors Notes

The addendum appears as Item 2A Addendum for the Audit Committee meeting.
