Executive Summary
This report updates the Finance and Resources Committee on the overall position for the
General Fund Account, Housing Revenue Account and Adult Health and Social Care, for
the financial year to 31 March 2023.  The report consolidates the budget monitoring position
of all Services, highlighting and explaining major variances as per the Council’s approved
Financial Regulations. 
The Council approved its General Fund Revenue Budget on 17 February 2022.  Following
notification from Scottish Government of further funding made available to local authorities
and the reallocation of Scottish Child Payments Grant as Agency managed grants the
budget has been revised to £889.122m. 
The Council is currently projecting a surplus of £22.350m which will be available to support
future budget pressures, resulting in a reported break-even position.  It should be noted
that this position reflects a net £4.993m overspend attributable to inflationary pressures
experienced across services. Resources totalling £10.147m have been provided through
a combination of corporate budgetary provision and use of reserves to help manage these
increased costs, which offset the forecast overspends, leaving a balance of £5.154m to
support any further pressures not yet realised.  However, services are required to continue
to take action to help manage the overall position, including managing vacancies and
curtailing non-essential expenditure. 
The 2022/23 budget incorporates £10.484m of net savings with resources of £3.372m set
aside to manage the impact of delayed implementation, reducing the current year target to
£7.112m.  It is projected that £5.225m of the current year target (73%) will be delivered
within the financial year, with replacement savings identified to fully address the shortfall.
Recommendations
It is recommended that the Finance and Resources Committee:
(1) Acknowledge the financial position of the 2022/23 revenue budget; and
(2) Otherwise endorse the contents of this report.

1. Background  
1.1. The Council’s approved Financial Regulations require services to remain within their
approved budgetary provision, and to report all significant deviations - defined as the
higher of £100,000 or 5% - within their budget monitoring reports.  Where significant
deviations are identified, services must provide explanatory commentary, outline the
action required to rectify such deviations and where relevant, must also highlight the
impact this has on other budget headings. 
2. Report 
2.1 Summary of General Fund Financial Position
2.1.1. At its meeting of 17 February 2022, the Council approved a General Fund Revenue
Budget of £887.270m.  This included spend which is offset by ring fenced grants of
£50.126m resulting in an opening budget position for Net Service Expenditure of
£837.144m.  Additional funding has since been confirmed as part of the Scottish
Government budget setting, including additional directed funding for Adult Social Care,
Free School Meal Expansion monies, Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy
funding and additional DHP funding, offset by a reallocation of Scottish Child Payments
Grant to agency managed grants, resulting in an overall total budget of £889.122m. 
2.1.2. Following the budget setting in February the Council has an approved savings target
£10.484m for 2022/23. However, £2.000m of one-off resources have been set aside
from General Fund reserves to manage the financial impact of the delayed
implementation of the Active and Creative Communities saving of £3.058m, and
£1.372m has been earmarked from the IJB reserves in respect of the delayed closure
of the Muirpark facility.  These actions reduce the overall savings requirement in
2022/23 to £7.112m.  Further detail can be found in Section 2.3 below. 
2.1.3. The following table summarises the projected income and expenditure position which

Table 2 
2.2.2. Education, Children and Families is reporting a projected overspend of £2.613m, which
is £0.950m less than previously reported, mainly as a result of an increased
underspend in employee costs.  The overall position is largely due to a projected
overspend in property costs of £5.646m due to anticipated increased utilities/energy
costs arising from inflationary pressures (£5.293m) and other overspends (£0.353m),
a projected overspend in transport costs of £5.490m largely due to ongoing demand
pressures within ASN transport (£2.678m) and increased mainstream transport
contract rates (£2.861m). There is also a projected increase in cost for ASN placements
£0.652m and family placements £0.448m associated with external fostering and kinship
care, and a projected under recovery in income of £1.282m due to reduced
membership and visitor fees for Active and Creative Communities. These are partially
offset by a projected reduction in employee costs of £7.664m, largely due to delays in
recruitment and establishment of staffing models, an anticipated underspend of
£0.433m in relation to children’s support services and clothing grants, projected
underspends in other expenditure of £0.826m, supplies and services of £1.925m and
administration costs of £0.102m, predominately due to management action and
curtailment of non-essential expenditure.

2.2.3. Enterprise and Communities is projecting an overspend of £2.379m, which is £0.962m
less than previously reported, mainly as a result of an increased underspend in
employee costs. The overall reported position is largely due to inflationary pressures of
£2.625m in relation to the cost of utilities, food, fuel, materials and waste tonnage, offset
by an overall non-inflationary underspend across a number of budgeted areas of
£0.246m.  There are forecast increased costs of £5.043m mainly due to delay in the
achievement of office rationalisation savings (£0.667m), increased use of agency staff
to support waste collection due to ongoing recruitment difficulties (£0.485), increased
vehicle leasing and hire costs (£0.638m) and vehicle parts (£0.119m), increase in costs
in charging of electric vehicles (£0.600m), an overspend in the in essential repairs and
road projects (£0.492m), an overspend in consultancy costs (£0.819m) and payments
to other bodies (£0.247m), and a number of other expenditure cost pressures
(£0.976m). These overspends are offset by a £3.791m underspend in employee costs
due to vacancies across the services and an over recovery in income of £1.498m in
relation to Planning fee income (£0.484m), Building Warrants (£0.496m), road
occupation and construction consents (£0.298m) and other chargeable fees. 
2.2.4. Chief Executives and Other Corporate Services are projecting an underspend of
£4.963m, which is a £3.792m increase on the previously reported position, largely
relating to an increased over recovery of income (£1.885m), a further reduction in
forecast cloud consumption costs (£0.870m) and an increased underspend in
employee costs (£0.981m). The overall reported position is primarily due to lower than
budgeted contract costs as a result of a delay in transferring to a cloud environment,
resulting in an underspend in forecast cloud consumption costs by £2.117m, an over
recovery in income of £1.334m largely in relation to PPP contributions (volume discount
MEARS) and Rent Allowance/Rebate recovery, offset by an under recovery in income
in the areas of licencing (liquor and taxi) and internal recharges, an underspend in
employee costs of £1.383m mainly due to vacancies savings. 
2.2.5. There is an underspend in Financing costs of £11.057m due to prudent management
of the Council’s borrowing and cashflow position, as well as the latest forecast
expenditure on the capital programme, and an over recovery in respect of interest
earned on revenue balances due to higher than budgeted interest rates.  This is an
increased underspend of £4.057m from the previously reported position due to a net
increase on interest on revenue balances (£2.092m) and an increased reduction in loan
charge costs (£1.965m).  In addition, members continue to be advised that
consideration is currently being given to the implementation of the option of a loan debt
holiday, which is one of the fiscal flexibilities introduced by the Scottish Government,
initially to support the cost of COVID.  If implemented this will generate a further one-
off saving in 2022/23.  However, it should be noted that this does not change the overall
debt to be repaid and any benefit generated will need to be repaid within the shorter of
either the remaining period of the loans fund advance or twenty years. The decision on
this will be reviewed as part of the year end closedown. 
2.2.6. Within the services’ financial positions shown above, inflationary pressures totalling
£11.419m are reported.  However, Corporate resources totalling £10.147m have been
provided through a combination of budgetary provision and use of reserves to help
manage the increased costs arising from higher inflation rates.  A total of £6.426m of
these pressures are being managed within the services budgets, resulting in a £4.993m
draw on corporate resources to manage the position overall.  Therefore, there is a
balance of £5.154m remaining to support any further pressures not yet realised.
However, given the current economic volatility, government policy announcements and
market conditions, it is very difficult to accurately assess the impact of inflation across
the Council. Therefore, whilst the Council has identified funds to assist with offsetting
the impact of inflation within the current year, it continues to be vitally important that

Page 5

services curtail all non-essential expenditure to support the Council’s overall
management of this significant risk. 
2.2.7. An underlying reported underspend of £9.256m is also reported within budget
assumptions, which reflects the release of resources held in relation to budget
assumptions now not anticipated to be realised.  This includes resources held for
inflation noted in 2.2.6 above along with a £1.411m underspend in relation to the
reversal of the social care levy (increased employer national insurance contributions)
from November 2022, and £1.847m saving in relation to the teacher strike action (24
Nov/ 7 Dec/ 10, 11 & 19 Jan). 
2.2.8. It should also be noted that as at period 12 the Council Tax Product remains under
review.  This includes consideration of Council Tax collection, Council Tax Reduction
Scheme up take and household numbers.  In addition, the Council Tax Product will
then be assessed for Expected Credit losses as part of the year end process.  It is
currently anticipated there will be no material variance overall. 
2.2.9. In addition, Scottish Government provided additional £7.726m of Capital Grant that can
be used flexibly to support the cost of the 2022/23 Pay Award agreement.  The
application of this flexibility will result in a transfer of surplus from HRA as part of the
year end close down.  This will partly offset the cost incurred for pay in 2022/23, along
with other existing General Fund budgets. 
2.3. 2022/23 Budget Savings
2.3.1. As outlined in paragraph 2.1.2 above, the Council has approved net savings of
£10.484m for 2022/23.  After taking account of the £3.372m one-off resources set aside
to manage the delayed implementation of savings, the overall savings target is
£7.112m.  Each Service reports on the achievement of their savings within the relevant
Services’ monitoring report.  It is projected that £5.225m of savings (73%) will be
achieved in the current year.  It is anticipated that the remaining in year gap of £1.887m
will be fully mitigated by replacement savings and implemented in full in future years. 
2.4. Earmarked Reserves and Change Management Fund
2.4.1. The Council’s audited annual accounts highlight a General Fund reserve balance of
£236.264m.  This balance includes £8.000m for the Contingency Reserve.  There is
also a total of £170.444m earmarked for specific future commitments including
£31.054m in relation to COVID and £54.175m to support the future contractual
obligations in respect of PPP schools, following a change in presentation in respect of
such balances, as discussed and agreed with Audit Scotland.  A further £29.424m has
been allocated to the Change Management Fund to support future budget pressures,
one-off costs of existing approved savings and to ensure the Council has a resilient
and sustainable strategic financial plan. This leaves £28.396m of unallocated balances. 
2.4.2. A total of £103.122m of earmarked reserves are profiled for use in 2022/23 with a
further £67.332m profiled for use in future years. It is currently projected that £84.696m
of the 2022/23 earmarked reserves will be spent during this financial year with
£17.397m anticipated to be required in future years and reserves of £1.029m deemed
no longer required. A summary position in respect of the above is shown in Appendix
2.   
2.4.3. The unallocated reserves will change depending on overall financial performance year
on year, unexpected commitments and to account for future drawdowns from the
capital fund. Therefore, reflecting the current year forecast position, commitments
during the year of £0.819m, earmarked reserves no longer required of £1.029m and

Page 6

the capital fund drawdown of £0.396m, the unallocated General Fund balance is
currently forecast to reach £30.360m by the financial year end.  Appendix 3
summarises this position.  However, it should also be noted that the overall reported
position reflects assumptions around approval to earmark additional funds as part of
the year-end review arrangements. 
2.5. Risks and Uncertainty
2.5.1. All activities undertaken by the Council are subject to risk, and in acknowledging the
Council’s approved Risk Management Strategy, Services manage these as part of their
overall corporate and service planning processes.  The current economic climate such
as the rising forecast of pay and non-pay inflation, on-going COVID impact, the cost of
living crisis and other external factors, have the potential to impact upon the Council’s
ability to provide quality services within approved budget levels. 
2.6. Housing Revenue Account
2.6.1. The Housing Revenue Account is currently projecting an underspend of £1.067m for
the financial year. This is due to the following variations against budget. There is an
underspend in employee costs of £1.400m largely due to vacancy savings in
conjunction with the reversal to increased national insurance rates, an underspend in
financing costs of £1.634m due to proactive treasury management activity, an
anticipated underspend in expenditure relating to ambitions funding of £1.107m and a
smaller underspend within administrative costs of £0.180m. These are offset by an
overspend in property costs of £2.607m mainly in relation to an increase in repairs and
utilities costs, an under recovery of income of £0.647m relating to rental income,
laundry, and court fees. 
2.7. Adult Health and Social Care
2.7.1. Council Adult Health and Social Care provision to the Integration Joint Board (IJB) is
projecting an underspend of £9.327m. This position is primarily due to a projected
underspend in employee cost of £4.735m as a result of slippage in recruitment of posts
relating to “Winter Planning and Enhanced Support”, a projected under spend in
payments to other bodies of £3.130m as a result of staff shortages within the care at
home sector SDS commissioning framework, a projected underspend in administration
costs of £1.940m due to lower than anticipated Carers costs offset by an overspend in
Supplies and Services of £0.782m due to higher than anticipated costs in the areas of
Equipment and Adaptation services, uniforms and protective clothing and several other
smaller compensating budget movements.
