3. Revenue 3.1. The Revenue Budget Monitoring report at Appendix 1 identifies a projected breakeven position 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). 3.4. The projected breakeven position, a shift from the previously reported £0.150m overspend, reflects an improvement in the estimated level of receipts to be generated in the period to 31 March 2023. Trends will continue to be monitored due to the current economic and financial climate. Employee costs are being contained within existing resources across the service. 4. Revenue Budget Adjustments 4.1. There have been no budget adjustments processed since the previous report to board. __________________________________________________________________ Implications of this report 1. Financial – The projected budget outturn position for the revenue budget reported to the Planning and Climate Change Board is breakeven. 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. Any changes to current projections in Revenue budgets will be reported to the board as early as possible, along with an explanation for the movement. 2.
