Annual Accounts


Despite the meeting being inquorate, consent was given by the councils Audit Committee at their Sept 2008 meeting for the councils 2007/8 accounts to be signed off. However, rumour has it that due to unresolved objections to these accounts Camden council has yet to sign them off.

This raises the question as to whether the audit committee were aware of the unresolved objections before giving consent? Please note that the Audit Committee has since merged with the Development Control Committee to form the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee.

Is the executive member responsible for finance aware that the accounts haven't been signed off? What does he make of it I wonder?

If Camden council can't sign off the accounts shouldn't the Audit Commission be informed? Shouldn't the police be informed? Shouldn't residents be informed?

When the director of Finance makes his annual declaration in the local press in June that the councils accounts are open to the electorate for inspection, will he include this vital information?
