Financial Accounts
The production of annual statutory final accounts is a legal requirement of all organisations. They are prepared in accordance with accepted accounting standards and rules. The format of the accounts is determined by the DHSS&PS.
In 2002/03 the Board's expenditure was £421 million and the financial accounts detail how this was invested. It is important to disclose how this money was spent so that the public can be assured that it has been appropriately invested. External auditors independently examine the accounts and provide further assurance that they are an accurate reflection of the Boards activities and performance.
The final accounts are a public document and as such any member of the public has right of access to them. A set of summarised accounts are included in the Boards Annual Report. A full set of audited accounts is available on request from the finance department.
