Budget information

Monitoring our finances is a continuous process. Each month we look at:

• what we have spent to date
• what is due to be spent for the rest of the financial year

We then report this to ensure full transparency of our current financial position.

The monitoring includes:

• Revenue: our day to day costs of providing services
• Capital: expenditure on our assets
• HRA: Housing Revenue Account
• Reserves: funds we're holding for a specific purpose
• Debts: what is owed to us
