ARGYLL AND BUTE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE PARTNERSHIP APPENDIX 1
REVENUE BUDGET MONITORING SUMMARY - YEAR TO DATE POSITION AS AT 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
Reporting Criteria: +/- £50k or +/- 10%
For information:
The Council don't do monthly based accrual accounting, whereas Health do.
On the Council side, there may be a mismatch between year to date actual and budgets, due to timing differences as to when invoices are paid.
Health do monthly based accrual accounting, therefore, you should see a correlation in the year to date position and the year end outturn position.
