The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 2016/17 Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting (The Code) published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). 1.2 This narrative report provides a summary of the Council’s financial position and details of material items that have impacted on the accounts during the year. 1.3 The financial statements contain a number of technical accounting terms and concepts. A glossary of the major accounting terms has been provided at the end of the financial statements to help the reader’s understanding. 2 Council Priorities 2.1 The Council’s vision for the City is one of: ‘A city of growth where every child, citizen and place matters’ and sets out clear priorities for the Council: Children - a great place to grow up in: Make the best of our diversity and create a safe and secure city for our children and young people to learn and grow Housing – a great place to live in: Provide housing in a range of types and tenures to meet the housing needs of all the current and future citizens of Birmingham Jobs and Skills – a great place to succeed in: Build on our assets, talents and capacity for enterprise and innovation to shape the market and harness opportunity Health – a great place to grow old in: Help people become healthier and more independent with measurable improvement in physical activity and mental wellbeing. 2.2 The Council recognises that it is one partner in achieving these priorities. The significant reductions in Government funding since 2010 mean that the Council’s role has changed from one of service delivery across the City to one where it enables partners, communities and individuals. 3 Background to 2016/17 3.1 The Council has continued to operate within an extremely challenging financial environment and the management of the budget has been a major focus of activity in 2016/17. 5 Birmingham City Council Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2017 3.2 The Birmingham Independent Improvement Panel (BIIP), appointed following the publication of the report on the governance and organisational capabilities of the Council by Lord Kerslake, has provided a number of progress reports to the Secretary of State. The BIIP reported to the Secretary of State in November 2016 on the progress the Council has made in those areas that required improvement and has supported the broad direction of travel. However, it was acknowledged that some of the crucial developments were at an early stage of design, implementation and adoption and that the changes had not yet filtered through to front-line staff or partners. 3.3 The BIIP had previously commented that the four-year financial strategy adopted for the 2016/17 - 2019/20 period was extremely challenging and that the transformational nature of the key proposals would be a serious test for the Council to deliver. The Council has been unable to deliver all of the savings planned for 2016/17, which has led to an overspend on the budget. 3.4 An independent financial review was commissioned jointly by the Council and the BIIP to assess whether the budget proposals for 2017/18 were realistic. The independent review identified that there were a number of areas where the Council’s plans were ambitious and recommended that the Council prepare a contingency savings plan and a consistent set of delivery plans with clear accountabilities. Following a further visit in January 2017, the independent review team concluded that the Council had taken the recommendations on board and responded well, although not all recommendations had been fully implemented at the time of the report. 3.5 The BIIP provided a further report to the Secretary of State in February 2017 that concluded the Council had put in place more robust and credible financial plans. However, the report stated that the plans and strategies would not be easy to implement and that some of the implementation timetables were extremely ambitious and that the risks to achieving fully effective delivery were high. 4 Major Developments 4.1 Despite the financial pressures faced by the Council, it has continued to develop services to ensure more effective and efficient service delivery through the move to a Future Operating Model. 4.2 The Council has also invested in the infrastructure within the City through capital developments of £363.9m in 2016/17 and future committed capital projects in excess of £1bn. The major projects have included the following developments: the Paradise Circus area; the new Wholesale Market at Witton; improvement of leisure facilities; increases in school places to support additional pupil numbers; and additional housing capacity. 5 The Financial Statements 5.1 The pages which follow contain the Council’s Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, with comparative figures for the previous financial year, and comprise: 6 Birmingham City Council Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2017 The Main Financial Statements 5.2 The Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Statement (CIES) – provides the accounting cost in year of providing services in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, rather than the amount to be funded from taxation or from rents for Council dwellings. The Council raises taxation to cover expenditure in accordance with regulations; this may be different from the accounting cost. The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) position is shown in a separate statement within these accounts. The 2016/17 CIES shows a reduction of £112.4m, from £918.9m to £806.5m, in the net cost of services compared to 2015/16, which is primarily as a result of: A one-off payment in 2015/16 of £72.9m to Network Rail in respect of its share of the receipt from the disposal of its head lease interest in the Grand Central development; A one-off charge of £66.3m in 2015/16 to the CIES to reflect the impairment of the investment in NEC (Developments) Limited to reflect the realisable value of the company; The continued reduction in net expenditure on services due to the tightening of public expenditure; The impact of local authority maintained schools converting to academies. offset by increases in Depreciation and impairment charges to the HRA - £9m Payments to third parties for the provision of care - £23m Public health payments - £12m Supporting the CIES is the Expenditure and Funding Analysis (EFA), which shows the basis of the Council’s annual expenditure and how it is funded from resources compared to how the resources are consumed and earned in line with generally accepted accounting practices.
