Our audited accounts and opinion should be published by 30 September 2021. This is a legal requirement, that comes from The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 – Regulation 10 (and as amended by The Accounts and Audit (Amendment) Regulations 2021).

Our Audit is not yet complete. This is partly because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also because of the increased assurances and processes that are now required by the auditors and regulators for pensions and asset valuations.

This means that we are unable to publish an audited Statement of Accounts for 2020 to 2021 by the required deadline of 30 September 2021.

The final version will be published as soon as the audit process has finished. This should be by the end of October 2021.

This notice of delayed audit is being published in accordance with Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015.

You can still see a draft version of the unaudited accounts for 2020 to 2021 here.
