5 Financial Outturn Report 2022/23 PDF 172 KB
This report provides the 2022/23 financial outturn information for the general fund, capital programme and housing revenue account (HRA).
The general fund outturn has achieved the previously forecast £10.6m surplus used to support the budget for 2023/24. Further revenue savings and asset sales realised as planned has avoided the need for a capitalisation direction to fund elements of the transformation programme in 2022/23.
