The Executive Director Finance presented the annual statement of accounts and report to the Committee. He highlighted that there had been one late adjustment since the report had been issued, relating to the treatment of £1.1m of the Section 31 Business Rate Relief Grant. He requested that the recommendation to approve the annual statement of accounts 2019/20 include a corresponding adjustment of £1.1m on the balance sheet from debtors to creditors with no effect on the bottom line. Following this, assurances were sought from the Committee on the effect of the Pandemic on investment property valuations.
