This report enables the Executive to undertake an examination of the Council’s financial accounts for the financial year 2006/07 and to then submit them for approval by Full Council on the 28 June.  As such this report provides the Executive with an opportunity to review and comment on the content and presentation of the Accounts prior to their finalisation.

[Please note that hard copies of the Statement of Accounts will be circulated to Members on Wednesday 20 June 2007 with the Council Summons and that it will also be available to view on the Council’s website from that date: www.york.gov.uk]

Members received a report which enabled them to undertake an examination of the Council’s financial accounts for the financial year 2006/07 and to then submit them for approval by Full Council on the 28 June.  As such this report provided the Executive with an opportunity to review and comment on the content and presentation of the Accounts prior to their finalisation.

A revised version of the report, which made reference to the Statement of Internal Control being part of the Statement of Accounts rather than appearing as a separate agenda item, had been circulated to Members.

Originally copies of the Statement of Accounts had been distributed subject to internal validation work by officers.  This had now been completed and revised copies, containing additional information, had been circulated to Members for consideration.
