Statement of Accounts 2010/11
Explanatory foreword
The Statement of Accounts brings together the major financial statements of the Council and consists of:
a) the Statement of Accounting Policies which sets out the basis on which the accounts have been compiled;
b) Core financial statements:
- the Movement in Reserves Statement shows the movement in the year on the different reserves held by the authority, analysed into usable reserves and other resources:
- the Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Account summarising revenue expenditure and income for the year on all services compiled in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices;
- the Balance Sheet setting out the financial position of the Council as at 31 March with the balances and reserves available for future use and the assets employed in its operations; and
- the Cash Flow Statement which summarises the inflows and outflows of cash arising from transactions with third parties;
with associated notes grouped together for all the core financial statements.
c) Supplementary financial statements:
- the Housing Revenue Income and Expenditure Account which shows revenue expenditure and income on Council housing for the year and is a ring-fenced account within the General Fund to prevent any cross-subsidy between general income and rents; and
- the Collection Fund which includes the council taxes and business rates collected by South Cambridgeshire District Council on behalf of those authorities responsible for services within the district and the way in which these monies have been distributed among the authorities to finance their expenditure.
Plain English Accounts 2010-11
