Our annual statement of accounts and notices

Notification of Publication of London Borough of Lewisham’s Audited Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024

Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 and The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015

Regulation 16(1) of The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 requires the Council to publish on its website a statement:

• that the audit has been concluded
• that the statement of accounts has been published
• of the rights of inspection conferred in local government electors by section 25 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 and the address at which, and the
• hours during which, those rights may be exercised.

As the audit has not yet been concluded, due to the fact that it has been confirmed by the NAO that no completion certificate can be issued on any local authority entity until the Comptroller and Auditor General has signed their opinion on the Whole of Government Accounts for the relevant financial year, the Council cannot yet issue this statement.

Notice is hereby given that the audited statement of accounts for 2023/24 has now been published on this website.

The notice of conclusion of the audit will be added to this website alongside the audit certificate as soon as this is issued.
