What it recommends

In the report's own words. A recommendation is a proposal: the meeting can agree, change or reject it.

• “Government grants and contributions We selected a sample of 33 grants for testing, which is currently in progress. As part of this work, we identified some issues in the recognition and omission of income. Our work on grant income is complete. We identified a £585k housing acquisition grant that should have been recognised in 2024/25, and capital grant income totalling £8,452k which were wrongly recognised in 2024/25”
