2. Recommendations
2.1. Members are requested to:
(a) Note the projected Revenue outturn position detailed in Table 1 above; 
(b) Note the projected Capital outturn position detailed in Table 2 above; and 
(c) Note the budget adjustments detailed at sections 4 and 6. 
3. Revenue
3.1. The Revenue Budget Monitoring report at Appendix 1 identifies a projected
underspend of £0.020 million (0.7% of total budget) for all services reporting
to this Policy Board.  Detailed division service reports can also be found here,
together with an explanation of any significant projected variances.
3.2. The projected outturn is based on information currently available, and
assumptions made by service budget holders.  Any changes to these
projections will be detailed in future reports to the Board.
3.3. The main reasons for the projected outturn position are indicated below the
tables showing both the subjective analysis (what the budget is spent on) and
the objective analysis (which division is spending the budget). 
4. Revenue Budget Adjustments
4.1. Members are requested to note from Appendix 1 that, since the Budget was
approved on 3rd March 2022, a budget adjustment (net nil impact) has been
processed to increase both income and expenditure by £2.070 million to
reflect funding secured from external sources to support the delivery of the
employability programme over the course of financial year 2022/23.  
5. Capital
5.1. The Capital Investment Programme 2022/23 to 2026/27 was approved by the
Council on 3rd March 2022. For Economy and Regeneration the approved
capital spend for 2022/23 is £46.184m
5.2. The Capital Monitoring report at Appendix 2 indicates net budget adjustments
in the approved capital programme for Economy and Regeneration for the
year of £0.313m largely as a result of additional funding offset by budget
reprofiled into 2023-24 for updated cash flows.
5.3. Further detail, including reasons for significant variances (where applicable),
can be found at appendix 2.

______________________________________________________________ 
Implications of this report 
1.  Financial – The projected budget outturn position for the revenue budget
reported to the Economy and Regeneration Policy Board is an underspend
of £0.020m.  Income and expenditure will continue to be monitored closely
for the rest of the financial year and, where necessary, steps will be taken
to mitigate any overspend.   
The projected outturn position for capital budgets reported to the Economy
and Regeneration Policy Board is breakeven.  The Capital programme will
continue to be monitored closely for the rest of the financial year.   
Any changes to current projections in either Revenue or Capital budgets
will be reported to the board as early as possible, along with an explanation
for the movement.
