Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Finance presented the report, thanking officers for their work, noting that the forecast net variance had increased from the previous report, with the cost of Covid remaining the primary factor for this.

 

In regards to the Dedicated Schools Grant, the Council continued in discussions with the Department for Education but was unlikely to have any resolution on those discussions until early 2022.

 

The Director of Corporate Services advised that the report would be discussed by the Financial Monitoring Task Group at their next meeting and noted that an invoice recently paid by the CCG had improved the position.

 

The Chair thanked the officers for their work and it was RESOLVED:

 

A. That Cabinet noted the financial reporting data for month 6, September 2021, relating to revenue budgetary control, showing a forecast net adverse variance at year end on net service expenditure of £6.197m, increasing to £7.687m when corporate and funding items are included.
