Finances

In June 2010 the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government wrote to local authorities committing us to publishing items of spending over £500 by January 2011. The data we've published under 'Local Spending data' excludes:

  • all payments to individuals paid through payroll
  • payments to HM Revenue and Customs relating to Vat and payroll
  • all pension-related payments

We have included invoice and grant payments to individuals but have replaced personal data with the words 'Redacted personal data'.

Local Spending data

Background

  • The data published relates to payments made by the Lake District National Park Authority
  • The Authority uses an accounting system called SunSystems
  • The date used to identify payments is the date that the transaction was authorised for payment
  • The purchase categorisation used is from BVACOP  - Best Value Accounting Code of Practice

Statement of Accounts 2020/21

Publication of 2020/21 Statement of Accounts

The Statement of Accounts gives electors, local taxpayers, members of the Authority, employees and other interested parties comprehensive information about the Authority’s finances. The audited accounts are usually required to be published by 31 July each year. However, due to the current Coronavirus crisis, the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 have been amended and the publication date for audited accounts has moved from 31 July to 30 September 2021 for all local authority bodies.

The accounts present the Authority’s overall financial position for the year ended 31 March 2021. The accounts have been audited and are now published, however the full audit process cannot yet be concluded. A further process, leading to the publication of a separate Value for Money judgement is under way and will conclude by 31 December 2021. At this point the full audit process will be complete.
