Statement of accounts 2021 to 2023
Notice regarding the external audit of accounts:
The lack of capacity of the previous Government appointed auditors has meant that the financial statements for 2021/22 and 2022/23 were not audited despite being prepared by the Constabulary and the PCC.
As part of the reset of the external audit programme, the accounts for these two prior years will receive a disclaimed opinion from BDO, the appointed auditor. This essentially means that they have not carried out the expected audit work on the financial accounts for the two years in question and the impact of this on the current year’s financial accounts is that a modified or possibly even a qualified opinion will be received (as the opening position in 2023/24 is effectively un-audited).
Readers of our published accounts should be assured that the internal controls, governance and assurance adhered to by the OPCC and Constabulary are not diminished in any way as a result of this external audit situation that is beyond our control.
The arrangement in place to secure value for money is now being undertaken by BDO for the 2021/22 and 2022/23 financial years and will be concluded by 30 September 2024.
