e) Third quarter budget review (update).
|
Due to the expense of the Jubilee this year, the Parish Council did not budget anything for community improvements but there was a total spend of £134.52 which has been drawn from the ‘community improvements earmarked reserves fund’. The necessary amendments have been made to the earmarked reserves figures per the March bank reconciliation. The annual subscriptions budget head sits at 69% with no further expenditure anticipated before year end It is suggested that £55.07 is taken from this budget head and diverted to the Clerk’s salary. The Clerk’s salary is predicted to be overspent by 13% which will lead to a significant variance. After this shift, the Clerk’s budget head is predicted to still be overspent by 11%. The insurance budget head sits at 68% with no further expenditure anticipated before year end. It is suggested that £114.00 is diverted to the Clerk’s salary budget head. This will bring the Clerk’s salary budget head to just 4% over. Any further movement from one budget head to another must now wait until the final invoices have been received and paid. 31 March 2023 is the Parish Council’s financial year end. |
