The narrative report must include comment by the authority on its financial performance and economy, efficiency and effectiveness in its use of resources over the financial year. The narrative report has been produced as a separate document and can be downloaded from the following web link: https://www.iwight.com/Council/OtherServices/Financial-Management/Accounts1 Annual Governance Statement In order to evaluate good governance in practice, there is also a statutory requirement under the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 for every local authority to prepare and publish an annual governance statement. This provides members of the public with an open assessment of how effective the council’s governance arrangements are considered to be against a code of corporate governance entitled “Delivering Good Governance in Local Government (2016)”. This document is published by CIPFA/SOLACE as recognised national lead bodies for public services. The code takes into account the characteristics of good governance set out above and translates them into specific core activities. The annual governance statement has also been produced as a separate document and can be downloaded from the following web link: https://www.iwight.com/Council/OtherServices/Financial- Management/Accounts1 4 Isle of Wight Council Statement of Accounts 2019-20 THE STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS The authority’s responsibilities The authority is required to: • make arrangements for the proper administration of its financial affairs and to secure that one of its officers has the responsibility for the administration of those affairs.

It also shows how this expenditure is allocated for decision making purposes between the council’s services. Income and expenditure accounted for under generally accepted accounting practices is presented more fully in the Comprehensive Income and Expenditure Statement. This analysis is a note to accounts rather than a principal statement. 2018-19 2019-20 Net Expenditure Adjustments Net Expenditure Net Adjustments Net Chargeable to between the in the Expenditure between the Expenditure in the General Funding and Comprehensive Portfolio reporting Chargeable to Funding and the Fund Balance Accounting Income and structure the General Accounting Comprehensive Basis Expenditure Fund Balance Basis Income and (see note 7A) Statement (see note 7A) Expenditure Statement £000 £000 £000 £000 £000 £000 Adult Social Care, 50,670 2,131 52,801 Public health & Housing 51,749 2,874 54,623 Needs 24,797 5,851 30,648 Children’s Services 28,166 11,546 39,712 Community Safety & 7,530 631 8,161 2,203 760 2,963 Public protection 2,531 2,263 4,794 Environment & Heritage 2,986 2,606 5,592 Infrastructure & 15,127 9,476 24,603 14,406 10,285 24,691 Transport Leader & Strategic 895 97 992 964 155 1,119 Partnerships Planning & Housing 495 419 914 1,096 553 1,649 Renewal Procurement, Projects 4,778 595 5,373 3,813 892 4,705 & Forward Planning Regeneration & 1,396 223 1,619 1,214 129 1,343 Business Development 12,959 6,685 19,644 Resources 14,983 2,722 17,705 121,178 28,371 149,549 Net Cost of services 121,580 32,522 154,102 Other Income and (124,199) (9,744) (133,943) (115,054) (22,760) (137,814) Expenditure (Surplus)/deficit on (3,021) 18,627 15,606 6,526 9,762 16,288 provision of services Opening General Fund 72,725 75,746 balance Less/add Surplus or 3,021 (deficit) on General (6,526) Fund balance in year Closing General Fund 75,746 69,220 Balance at 31 March 6 Isle of Wight Council Statement of Accounts 2019-20 COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & EXPENDITURE STATEMENT This statement shows the accounting cost in the year of providing services in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, rather than the amount to be funded from council tax and other revenue resources. Authorities raise income to cover expenditure in accordance with statutory requirements; this may be different from the accounting cost. The taxation position is shown in both the expenditure and funding analysis and the movement in reserves statement. 2018-19 2019-20 Gross Gross Net Gross Gross Net Expenditure Income expenditure Portfolio reporting structure Expenditure Income Expenditure (see note 8) (see note 8) (see note 8) (see note 8) £000 £000 £000 £000 £000 £000 Adult Social Care, Public health 84,969 (32,168) 52,801 88,952 (34,329) 54,623 & Housing Needs 119,215 (88,567) 30,648 Children’s Services 132,973 (93,261) 39,712 Community Safety & Public 10,774 (2,613) 8,161 11,065 (8,102) 2,963 protection 10,198 (5,404) 4,794 Environment & Heritage 11,008 (5,416) 5,592 30,713 (6,110) 24,603 Infrastructure & Transport 31,069 (6,378) 24,691 1,245 (253) 992 Leader & Strategic Partnerships 1,227 (108) 1,119 5,151 (4,237) 914 Planning & Housing Renewal 6,051 (4,402) 1,649 Procurement, Projects & 6,091 (718) 5,373 5,277 (572) 4,705 Forward Planning Regeneration & Business 2,187
