Exeter City Council 2024-25 unaudited statement of accounts
After an eight-week delay in the publication of the accounts caused by an asset revaluation process, the inspection period began on 26 August.
As a result, the council must grant access to bills, invoices, receipts, deeds, property transactions, books and contracts related to the 2024-25 statement of accounts on request until 6 October, with some exceptions related to commercially-confidential or personally-identifying information.
Local electors possess the additional right to ask the council and its external auditor questions about the accounts, to raise objections about the accounts with the auditor and to request investigation of specific matters of concern during this period each year.
The city council’s 2024-25 accounts and related documents are available for inspection at its Paris Street offices from 9am-2pm Monday to Friday and can also be requested electronically.
