The Annual Governance Statement (AGS) is a valuable means of explaining to the community, service users, taxpayers and other stakeholders the council’s governance arrangements and how the controls it has in place manage risk and deliver its strategic outcomes.
Annual Governance Statement prior to 23/24
Prior to 23/24, the Annual Governance Statement formed part of the annual ‘Final Audited Statement of Accounts’. The AGS for a particular year can be found embedded in the Final Audited statement of Accounts for that same year.
These can be found on our Council Finance page.
