On 22nd November 2012, following the enactment of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, two corporations sole were established – the Police & Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire and the Chief Constable for Leicestershire.
The Police & Crime Commissioner is responsible for securing an efficient and effective police force whilst the Chief Constable is responsible for maintaining the Queen’s Peace and has operational direction and control over the force’s officers and staff.
In order to minimise the complexity for the reader that such a change can cause, additional information has been included to draw out the key differences and to explain how both corporations sole interact with each other. It is recommended that the reader of these accounts first reviews the Explanatory Foreword and introduction to the “Notes to the core financial statements” section to give context and aid understanding.
Statutory provisions for reporting under the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 require the effective publication of unaudited financial statements for 2023/24 by 31 May 2024.
Due to a number of significant challenges including producing the accounts against the backdrop of significant delays with the External Audit of the 2021/22 and 2022/23 accounts, it will not be possible to publish a set of unaudited accounts by the statutory deadline. It is anticipated that the accounts will be produced by the 30 June 2024.
Any queries regarding the delays in publication please contact Kira Hughes, OPCC for Leicestershire Chief Finance Officer on 0116 2298980 or email police.commissioner@leics.pcc.police.uk.
