It is a legal requirement that our accounts should be audited by both an internal and an external auditor and published on this website by 30 September each year.
As of today – 30 September 2024 – the Internal Auditor’s examination has been conducted and signed off, but the External Auditor (Audit Wales) has not yet completed its assignment.
Minera CC has complied with all reporting requirements and deadlines throughout the process.
The statement in bold italic script below is therefore required to be published today, together with the accounting information disclosed alongside it.
Regulation 15(5) of the Accounts and Audit (Wales) Regulations 2014 (as amended) requires that by 30 September 2024, Minera Community Council publish its accounting statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 together with any certificate, opinion, or report issued, given or made by the Auditor General.
The accounting statements in the form of an annual return (audited by the internal auditor only) have been published on the Council’s website. However, these accounts are published before the conclusion of the external audit.
I will be happy to take any questions from our residents relating to these accounts, and I will publish the final accounts inclusive of the External Auditor’s opinion just as soon as they are available.
David Hinchliffe
Clerk, Minera CC
