Cllr Richardson wrote to Tory Cllr Pocock

This was the first set of Accounts to be seen under your Portfolio, yet what we
witnessed was nothing short of a disgrace. Despite repeatedly asking for a copy of
the draft Statement of Accounts at the first Audit & Risk Meeting and for several
weeks thereafter, a copy was not produced until just before the closure of accounts,
this was then amended substantially and significantly with a further Statement at
the last minute, with a final copy produced on the night of the Audit & Risk Meeting
along with the Audit Letter for approval, with additional information from the
District Auditor also produced on the night.

We have taken these matter up with a financial and compliance Legal Officer at the
highest level and are now in the process of putting together a case to take Rutland
Council to court, that undoubtedly will implicate yourself as Portfolio Holder,
holding office over this.
