Regulation 10(1) of the Accounts and Audit (Wales) Regulations 2014 (as amended) requires that the responsible financial officer of Isle of Anglesey County Council sign and date the draft statement of accounts of the council.
This is to certify that the accounts present a true and fair view of the council’s financial position at the end of the financial year and the council’s income and expenditure for that year. The regulations require that this be completed by 31 May each year.
However, the regulations make provision for local authorities having to delay preparing and publishing their annual financial accounts on the basis that a notice is published on the relevant council’s website to explain why the draft accounts have been delayed.
This notice is to inform Anglesey citizens and stakeholders that the council’s draft statement of accounts for 2024 to 2025 will be delayed beyond 31 May 2025.
Welsh Government's suggested timetable for publication
Draft statement of accounts
- Statutory deadline: 31 May 2025
- Extended deadline: 30 June 2025
Audited statement of accounts
- Statutory deadline: 31 July 2025
- Extended deadline: 30 October 2025
The Responsible Financial Officer has not signed and certified the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.
This is due to the need to resolve technical issues relating to accounting standards as well as the annual challenge of completing the necessary accounts and supporting notes within the statutory timetable.
We will work within the extended deadlines.
