b) Core financial statements:

  1. 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:
  2. 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;

with associated notes grouped together for all the core financial statements.

c) Supplementary financial statements:

  1. 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
