Delay in publishing audited Statement of Accounts: Year Ended 31 March 2023
The external audit of the draft Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 has not yet been completed by our external auditors, Mazars LLP. The reasons for the delay are the need to clear audit backlog of audit work from previous years which is impacting on the timely delivery of the 2022-23.
In accordance with Regulation 10 of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015, where an audit of accounts has not been concluded by the required date (for 2022/23, the specified date is 30 September 2023), we must publish as soon as reasonably practicable a notice stating that and the reasons for this. This notification explains, as per Regulation 10, that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2022-23 Statement of Accounts in line with publication date of 30 September 2023. The Council is working closely with the external auditor to ensure the required work is completed as soon as possible. In line with the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015, Bradford Council published a draft Statement of Accounts 2022-23 subject to audit and the final audited Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 will be published as soon as the audit is concluded, and the Independent Auditor’s Report issued.
Councils must produce an annual Statement of Accounts in accordance with legislative requirements and the Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting in the UK. Our draft 2022-23 annual Statement of Accounts are available below for local electors to inspect.
Statement of Accounts 2021-22
The unaudited 2021-22 annual statement of accounts can be downloaded using the link below. This document is missing alternative text on a number of the figures, a couple of table are missing headers and the order of headings skips levels. We are working on an accessible version.
Delay in publishing audited Statement of Accounts: Year Ended 31 March 2022

This notification explains, as per Regulation 10 (2) (a), that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2021-22 Statement of Accounts in line with publication date of 30 November 2022, as per Regulation 10 (1).
