A local authority is under a statutory obligation to adopt an annual budget providing for the estimated expenditure necessary to carry out its functions and the estimated income to accrue to the authority in that year. The precise manner in which current accounts are managed in order to achieve the overall balance necessary is a matter for individual local authorities.
The information requested is set out in the following table.
