At the end of the financial year (31 March) it is important that the final accounts of the Council accurately reflect the financial position on that date.

The 2025/26 year-end procedures for services have now been posted within the Employee Zone and are available by following this link:

Annual Accounts – Year End Procedures & Forms

The page can also be accessed directly within the Employee Zone by clicking Governance > Finance > Annual Accounts – Year End Procedures & Forms.

All employees with a role in the year-end – in particular, in the following areas – are asked to ensure they are familiar with the procedures and deadlines:

  • Consumable stock
  • Inventory of plant, equipment and furniture
  • Authorising invoices for payment
  • Supplying chargeable services to customers
  • Internal charging
  • Income
  • Grants and contributions.

If appropriate, please cascade this information to employees who do not have access to e-mail.

If you have any queries regarding the above, please contact Andrew Cupples, Principal Accountant – call 0141 578 8338 or e-mail andrew.cupples@eastdunbarton.gov.uk

Thank you,

Jamie Robertson
Chief Finance Officer
