Employee purchasing cards

Purchasing cards are given to employees that occasionally buy resources to help carry out their job. They can also be used to help provide support to vulnerable young people.

Since using purchasing cards we have saved over £2m in administration costs.

The external audit of the draft statement of accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 has not yet been completed by our external auditors, EY LLP, due to the national issue relating to IAS19 Pensions accounting. This situation is allowed for by Regulation 10, paragraph (2a) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. (See attached link: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2015/234/regulation/10/made). Therefore, this notification explains, as per paragraph (2a), that we are not yet able to publish our audited 2021/22 final statement of accounts in line with the deadline of 30th November 2022, as per paragraph (1). The Audit Committee will consider the results of the 2021/22 audit at its earliest opportunity, after which we will publish the final audited accounts.

Our Statement of Accounts for 2021/22 has been prepared in accordance with the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 and the Code of Practice on Local Authority in the United Kingdom 2021/22. The code is based on International Financial Reporting standards (IFRS) and statutory requirements.

Statement from HCC on status of 2021/22 Statement of Accounts:

There is currently a national accounting issue which is affecting all upper tier local authorities across the country in relation to the accounting treatment of the recent Triennial Valuation results which impacts the IAS19 Pensions adjustments, which are incorporated within the accounts. This means that councils are unable to finalise their accounts and the audit. Hertfordshire is impacted in the same way as all upper tier council, and as such we have not been able to have our accounts signed off by the statutory deadline of 30th November 2022.

We currently await the completion of an additional audit sample of pension fund employee data before the audit of the accounts can be finalised.  More information can be found in our Audit Committee report updates. Which can be found here: https://democracy.hertfordshire.gov.uk/ieListMeetings.aspx?CommitteeId=147

Appointment of Auditor

Notice of appointment of auditor to Hertfordshire County Council from 2018-19.

Under Section 8(2) of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014, the Council must publish a notice relating to the appointment of its auditor.

For audits of the accounts from 2018-19, the Council has opted into national auditor appointment arrangements with Public Sector Audit Appointments (PSAA), who are now responsible for appointing the Council’s External Auditor.

The PSSA wrote to the Council to consult on the proposed appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the External Auditor of Hertfordshire County Council from 2018-19. We can now confirm that, following the completion of the consultation, Ernst & Young LLP have been appointed to audit the accounts of Hertfordshire County Council for five years, from 2018-19 to 2022-23.

This appointment is made under regulation 13 of the Local Audit (Appointing Person) Regulations 2015, and was approved by the PSAA Board at its meeting on 14 December 2017.
