In Friday's #ft it was reported that #accounts and #audits of #localgovernment bodies are to be brought up to date by #september next year. There have been problems since the #conservatives abolished the #auditcommission in 2015 - and it makes sense to find out as soon as possible if there are any more #localauthorities in the position of among others #croydon, #slough , #thurrock and #woking . However there are some snags to this.

Yet the #Conservatives have the nerve to accuse #labour of financial improvidence in #local #Government!

It is not clear what they will do. Presumably some combination of a #firesale of #assets and some write off of #loans from the Public Works Loans Board is inevitable.
What is extraordinary is how such a situation was allowed to develop. Until the early 2010s the #AuditCommission kept an eye on #local #government.
