Accounts and finance

We follow a number of regulations and codes to manage our financial affairs. This helps us to make sure that public money is being administered properly.

Financial regulations are important because they help us conduct our financial activities in accordance with best practice as well as show openness and integrity. All staff, councillors and anyone who acts on our behalf must follow these rules.
