The Annual Governance Statement presents a statement of those matters of significance affecting the management of the Council's affairs.

The Annual Governance Statement prior to 2011/12 was embedded within the Annual Statement of Accounts, now it is produced as a standalone document, but still ​approved in conjunction with the Annual Statement of Accounts

​The Annual Governance Statement deals with three topics:

  • the systems that the Counc​il has in place which provide the Council's governance arrangements
  • a review of the risks that were identified in last year's Annual Governance Statement and how the Council has addressed those risks
  • the identification of the major risks facing the Council moving forward
