The statement of accounts: Coronavirus (COVID-19) update
In response to the coronavirus outbreak, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has issued revised accounts and audit regulations for the Statement of Accounts 2019/20.
The requirement for the public inspection period to include the first ten working days in June has been removed. Instead local authorities must commence the public inspection period on or before the first working day of September 2020. This means that draft accounts must be approved by 31 August 2020. The publication date for audited accounts has moved from 31 July to 30 November 2020 for all local authority bodies.
The period for the exercise of public rights concluded at 4pm on the 3 September 2020.
Oxfordshire County Council published the audited Statement of Accounts on Monday 30 November 2020.

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.
