Auditors have yet to decide whether Northamptonshire County Council’s revised budget is legal. KPMG’s lead auditor Andrew Cardoza told the council’s audit committee last week that some of the capital receipts used by the council to balance its budget may not have been allowable, according to a report in the Northamptonshire Telegraph.
The auditor is set to make its final audit report on the figures next month.
The paper also reported that Cardoza told councillors that there is a “non-compliance culture” at the council that needs to be tackled.
