Annual accounts and audit
Oxfordshire County Council statement of accounts.
Statement of accounts 2025/26
The Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2015 require the council to publish the unaudited statement of accounts for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 by 31 May 2026.
However, due to the impact of addressing the local audit backlog in England and the 2022/23 statement of accounts not being fully audited, the draft publication date has been amended to 30 June 2026. This amendment is permitted under Section 9A of the Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2015.
Previous years
The law requires that our statement of accounts is signed as approved by certain members and officers of the council and that the audit report is signed by the council's external auditor. A number of frauds have been carried out against bodies that publish signatures on the internet and, for this reason, the signatures of members and officers in our accounts have been removed.
