Statement of Movement on the General County Fund Balance

The Income and Expenditure Account shows the Council’s actual financial performance for the year, measured in terms of the resources consumed and generated over the last twelve months.  However, the authority is required to raise council tax on a different accounting basis, the main differences being:
Capital investment is accounted for as it is financed, rather than when the fixed assets are consumed.
Retirement benefits are charged as amounts become payable to pension funds and pensioners, rather than as future benefits are earned.
The General County Fund Balance shows whether the Council has over or under spent against the council tax that it raised for the year, taking into account the use of reserves built up in the past and contributions to reserves earmarked for the future expenditure.
This reconciliation statement summarises the differences between the outturn on the Income and Expenditure Account and the General County Fund Balance.
