Oakham Town Council Accounts 2014 - 2015 Accounts Council not responding to Auditor Grant Thornton Enquiries

Oakham Town Council Accounts 2014 - 2015 Accounts Council not responding to Auditor Grant Thornton Enquiries 




This is a quick update on progress against the matters you raised in your formal objection to the accounts of Oakham Town Council.

You originally submitted your Objection on 1 July 2015 on the basis that you had no confidence in the accuracy of the accounts and objected to all items in the accounts.  Mr Heap subsequently wrote to you explaining a little more about the procedure for dealing with objections and on 17 of July and again4 October, you provided details of specific transactions to which you wished to object.

We have reviewed the information you provided in support of your objection and have made enquiries of the Council asking for further information and evidence.  

The Council is yet to respond to all our enquiries.

Once the Council has responded, we will consider all the information in the round,  reach our conclusion, make an appropriate audit response and our draft the report.  We are planning our work with a target to complete by the end of November, however our final reports are subject to review by Public Sector Audit Appointments Ltd, the relevant  regulatory body, before final publication.  Once we have reached that stage we will able to give a definitive date.

Kind regards
