ROGER GAZZARD TOWN CLERK Finance & General Purposes Committee 24th July 2017 Management Accounts 2017-18 I have attached the management accounts for the period to the end of June representing the first three months of the financial year. The estimates in the report are those approved by the Council in January. In overall terms we are underspent by £37,322 for the year to date. This is attributable to the delay in devolution of services and assets from Cornwall Council. Apart from this there are no other deviations from the budget that will be significant at the financial year end. I would highlight the financial results of the Coffee Bar on page 9. This has shown a surplus of £6,539 for the three months. I am expecting a larger surplus in the next three months but a reduction during the winter period. In overall terms our target was to recover the investment of £25,000 to acquire the facility in the first eighteen months of trading and in my view we are on schedule to achieve this. You will note there are no estimates on the coffee bar page as this did not form part of our estimates process in January. In terms of format of the report I have changed this to combine the administration section with the General section calling it “Administration and Democratic”. I am also showing the Parks and Amenities committee pages in full rather than combining the Parks & Gardens, Cemetery, Churchyard and Allotment pages as previously. At the end of the report, as required by the transparency legislation and recommended by the internal auditor I have included payments made for the first three months of the financial year. There are no other matters which I wish to draw to the attention of the Committee. Recommendation The Committee is asked to note the report.
