Statement of accounts
2020/21
The external audit of the draft statement of accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 has not yet been completed by our external auditors, EY LLP, as additional time is required to give due consideration to a number of key issues that have been identified during the audit and to enable them to complete all of their planned procedures. This situation is allowed for by Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. Therefore, this notification explains, as per paragraph (2a), that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2020/21 final statement of accounts in line with deadline of 30 September 2021, as per paragraph (1). The Joint Audit Committee will consider the results of the 2020/21 audit in due course, after which we will publish the final audited accounts.
These are draft accounts subject to audit.
