2 Audited Annual Accounts 2022/23
Under reference to item 3 of the Minute of the meeting of the Joint Committee held on
12 June 2023, there was submitted a report by the Treasurer relative to the Annual
Audit Report on the Annual Accounts 2022/23. 
The report intimated that The Local Authority Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2014
required the audited accounts to be approved for signature no later than 30 September
each year. Section 10 of the Regulations required the Joint Committee to consider any
report made by the appointed auditor before deciding whether to sign the audited
accounts.

Audited Annual Accounts 2022/23 had not been finalised and submitted to the Joint
Committee for approval in terms of the agreed timescales and apologised to members
for the inconvenience this had caused. 
The Convener and members of the Joint Committee expressed their concerns as to the
lateness that this issue had been brought to their attention and sought assurances that
the Joint Committee wouldn’t be in this position in coming years. 
The Convener proposed that a special meeting of the Joint Committee be held remotely
on MS teams in the week commencing 25 September 2023 to consider the Audited
Annual Accounts 2022/23 and that members be advised of the date and time of the
special meeting when known. This was agreed.

3 Revenue Budget Monitoring
There was submitted a revenue budget monitoring report by the Treasurer for the period
to 18 August 2023. 
The report intimated that by 31 March 2023, the forecast position for Clydeplan was a
projected underspend of £73,000 and further detail was provided in section 4 of the
report. 
The report noted that there had been no budget adjustments since the start of the
financial year. 
DECIDED: That the report be noted.   
4 Resourcing Delivery of the Green Network 'Blueprint'
There was submitted a report by the Development Officer relative to the resources
required for delivery of the Green Network ‘Blueprint’, the production of a Regional
Spatial Strategy and the provision of support to partners. 
The report intimated that at the meeting of the Joint Committee on 13 September 2021,
the use of £95,000 from Clydeplan Useable Revenue Reservices had been approved
to fund a two-year fixed term Green Network Development Officer post to support
delivery of the Green Network Blueprint. The officer had been appointed in April 2022
and the fixed-term contract would end in March 2024. 
The report provided detail on the progress to date and future work. The report proposed
that in order to support ‘Blueprint’ delivery, the development of the Regional Spatial
Strategy and support partners in meeting the requirements of NPF4, that circa £47,000
of the Useable Revenue Reserves held by Clydeplan be utilised to extend the Green
Network Development Officer fixed-term post until 31 March 2025. It was noted that
Clydeplan Reserves were currently estimated at £443,000. 
The report advised that if the transition to the Glasgow City Region PMO happened
within that timeframe, then only a proportion, or none, of that sum would be required. 
DECIDED: That the Green Network Development Officer’s fixed-term contract, which
currently ended on 31 March 2024, be extended for a maximum of one year, or until
such times as Clydeplan and Green Network staff transition to Glasgow City Region
PMO.

1 Audited Annual Accounts 2022/23
Under reference to item 2 of the Minute of the meeting of the Joint Committee held on
11 September 2023, there was submitted a report by the Treasurer relative to the
Annual Audit Report on the Annual Accounts 2022/23. 
The report intimated that the Local Authority Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2014
required the audited accounts to be approved for signature no later than 30 September
each year. Section 10 of the Regulations required the Joint Committee to consider any
report made by the appointed auditor before deciding whether to sign the audited
accounts. 
The findings of the appointed auditor, Azets, were presented in the Annual Audit Report,
which formed Appendix 1 to the report. There were audit adjustments relating to a
misstatement of interest receivable, now reclassified as Other Income and an
adjustment to pension figures, following receipt of revised actuarial reports and the
calculation of the pension asset ceiling. 
The report advised that following approval, the audited accounts would be submitted to
the Convener, Treasurer and the Head of Economy & Development, Renfrewshire
Council, for secure digital signature. 
It was noted that in relation to the Green Network Partnership Unusable reserves, the
middle column in the first table of page 79 of the accounts should read ‘Employee
Statutory Adjustment Account’. 
Gary Devlin thanked members for scheduling this special meeting of the Joint
Committee.  Gary presented Azets Annual Audit Report on the Annual Accounts
2022/23 to members and advised that Azets intended to provide an unqualified opinion
on the accounts; that the accounts presented to the audit team were of a good quality;
and that due to the quality of the responses received from the finance team in
Renfrewshire Council, Azets were able to conduct the audit work efficiently and
effectively. On behalf of the Joint Committee, the Convener thanked the finance team
in Renfrewshire Council for the work undertaken in concluding the audit of the annual
accounts. 
DECIDED: 
(a) That the findings of the 2022/23 audit, as contained in the Annual Audit Report which
formed Appendix 1 to the report, be noted; and 
(b) That the 2022/23 Audited Annual Accounts, which formed Appendix 2 to the report,
be approved for signature.

Heading: Revenue Budget Monitoring Report to 10 November 2023
___________________________________________________________________
1. Summary
1.1 The forecast position for Clydeplan by 31 March 2024 is a projected
underspend of £174k, as explained on appendix 1.  
_____________________________________________________
2. Recommendations
2.1 Members are asked to:
a) Consider and note the report; and
b) Approve the supplementary requisition discount proposed at section 4.2.
3. Budget Adjustments
3.1 There have been no budget adjustments since the start of the financial year.
________________________________________________________________
4. Budget Performance
Projected Year-end Position £174k Favourable
Previously Reported £73k Favourable
4.1 Appendix 1 below shows a projected underspend in Employee Costs of £257k.
While the recently agreed pay award for local government staff has now been
factored into the forecast, this is offset by vacancies, including two Strategic
Planner posts and two management posts, where the working assumption is
that these posts will not be filled in this financial year. 
This forecast underspend is partially offset by overspends in Supplies and
Services, mainly due to an increase in audit fees, computer maintenance costs
Item 2
Page 11 of 20

Page 12

and Transfer Payments relating to the funding of a Green Network Partnership
Development Officer post, previously approved by the Joint Committee. The
result is an overall projected underspend for 2023/24 of £174k. 
4.1 In light of this significant in-year underspend projection generated mainly by the
vacant posts, a supplementary requisition discount of £15k per constituent
authority is proposed for 2023/24. This would result in an under-recovery of
budgeted requisition income of £120k and the consequential projected outturn
position and impact on uncommitted reserves is demonstrated in Appendix 2. 
4.2 Member authorities have not yet been billed for their 2023/24 requisitions;
invoices have been held pending the Joint Committee’s approval of this
proposal. If agreed, 2023/24 requisition invoices will be issued as soon as
possible after the meeting.

___________________________________________________________________
Report by: The Treasurer and the Head of Economy and Development
___________________________________________________________________
Heading: Revenue Estimates 2024/25 for Clydeplan and the Green Network
Partnership
___________________________________________________________________
1. Summary
1.1 The following report has been prepared by the Treasurer, in consultation with
the Head of Economy and Development, to present the Revenue Estimates of
Glasgow and the Clyde Valley Strategic Development Planning Authority and
Green Network Partnership (GNP), including the requisition of the constituent
authorities, for financial year 2024/25.
___________________________________________________________________
2. Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that Members:
a) Approve the Revenue Estimates for 2024/25 set out in Appendix 1,
including the planned use of reserves; and
b) Agree to waive the requirement for a three-year financial plan in 2023/24.
___________________________________________________________________
3. Background
3.1 The ClydePlan Minute of Agreement currently requires the Treasurer to prepare
and submit to the Joint Committee, not later than 31 December each year, the
proposed revenue estimates for the coming financial year.
3.2  The revenue estimates presented in Appendix 1 outline the projected net
expenditure and proposed requisition for 2024/25 for members’ consideration,
and to assist with constituent authorities’ financial planning. Both Clydeplan and
the Green Network Partnership budgets are presented together, in recognition
of their shared activity and resources
3.3 The ClydePlan Minute of Agreement also requires the Treasurer to submit to
the Joint Committee a financial plan setting out estimated expenditure and
associated requisitions for the following three years. In light of current potential
Item 3
Page 15 of 20

Page 16

governance changes, it is requested that the Joint Committee agrees to waive
this requirement for the current year. 
3.4 The revenue estimates presented in Appendix 1 include member authority
requisitions for Clydeplan that include a requisition discount in recognition of
the high level of uncommitted reserves, as has been practice in recent years. A
further supplementary requisition discount is proposed in recognition of two
vacant senior management posts (Strategic Development Manager and
Assistant Manager) that are unlikely to be appointed in 2024/25. This results in
a 36% reduction in the net requisition for 2024/25. 
3.5 Reserve projections in Appendix 1 include a transfer of £47,500 of Clydeplan
reserves to the Green Network Partnership in 2024/25 to fund a Green Network
Development Officer post extended for one year until 31 March 2025, as
approved by the Joint Committee at its meeting on 11 September 2023. 
3.6 Requisitions for the Green Network Partnership are also outlined in Appendix 1. 
The allocation basis for GNP is different to Clydeplan, the former being a per
capita allocation. As has been practice in recent years, the proposed requisition
for 2024/25 has been discounted to reduce the level of reserves held within
Green Network Partnership to a reasonable level.  
4. Budget Assumptions 
4.1 The budget has been prepared on the basis of a review of the core operations
of Clydeplan and the Green Network Partnership and is based on the following
assumptions:
• The recently agreed pay settlement for 2023/24 has been factored into
employee costs budgets;
• Provision for inflation on employee costs in 2024/25 has been included at
an estimated 3%;
• Current working from home arrangements and other operational changes
have resulted in savings across various areas of the budget, e.g. staff
training, conferences, consultancy, printing and travel, and the budget
assumption is that these reductions will be sustained into 2024/25. 
5. Financial Overview  
5.1 Clydeplan’s current operations, structure and long-term financial arrangements
are currently under review by the Joint Committee and its constituent
authorities, which brings a level of uncertainty to the short and medium-term
Page 16 of 20

Page 17

outlook. Further areas of significant risk for the Joint Committee in the medium
term include:
• ongoing discussions around improved integration of regional planning and
the impact of the Planning (Scotland) Act; 
• workforce planning, following the retirement of the Strategic Development
Manager and Assistant Manager at the end of 2022/23; and 
• potential higher level of pay inflation for 2024/25. 
5.2 Due to the current financial climate, operational costs will remain under review
and any savings that may arise will be brought forward to a future meeting. 
The level of reserves will also remain under review and any changes to the
proposed use of reserves will be reported as appropriate to the Joint
Committee. 
6. Reserves 
6.1 The audited Annual Accounts for 2022/23 reported the level of uncommitted
reserves as £389,271 for Clydeplan at 31 March 2023. This represents 69% of
budgeted net expenditure in 2023/24. It is recommended that the level of
uncommitted reserves should be held at a minimum of 10% to provide for
unforeseen expenditure. 
6.2 The audited Annual Accounts 2022/23 reported the level of uncommitted
reserves as £101,899 for the Green Network Partnership. This represents 67%
of budgeted net expenditure in 2023/24. It is recommended that the level of
uncommitted GNP reserves should be held at a minimum of 30% to provide for
unforeseen expenditure. 
6.3 In recognition of the high level of reserves and no requirement to earmark any
balances, requisition discounts are proposed for both ClydePlan and GNP in
2024/25. The impact of the proposed discounts is presented in Appendix 1.
