EXTERNAL AUDIT OF ACCOUNTS: YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020
Publication of Bassetlaw District Council Statement of Accounts and Audit Opinion
The Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2015 – Regulation 10
As Amended By
The Accounts and Audit (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020
The Accounts and Audit (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 require that the audited accounts and opinion are published by 30 November 2020.
Notice is hereby given that Bassetlaw District Council cannot publish the audited statement of accounts by 30 November 2020, as the audit has not yet been concluded by the external auditors, Mazars LLP.
The delay is due to the lateness of IAS19 assurance letters from the Nottinghamshire Pension Fund external auditor being made available to the Council’s external auditors. As this assurance could impact on the valuation of the net pension fund liability within Bassetlaw District Council’s accounts, the audit cannot be concluded until these have been considered by the Council’s external auditors to enable any potential error to be quantified.
Bassetlaw District Council Audit and Risk Scrutiny Committee, 19th November 2020, was formally advised of this matter and subject to the delegations agreed at this Committee the final audited accounts and audit opinion will be published as soon as possible after the audit is concluded.
Therefore this notice of delayed audit is being published in accordance with Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. See attached link:
