Annual accounts

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is required by law to publish a set of accounts each year providing a breakdown of the PCC’s and Constabulary’s financial performance and financial position.

The statement of accounts follows a standard format (as prescribed by accounting codes of practice) and is audited by external auditors who also review the financial arrangements in place during the year.

The accounts for 2021/22, which have been inspected and audited by Ernst & Young, can be found in the 2022 accordion below.

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk (OPCCN) Chief Finance Officer, Jill Penn, and Norfolk Constabulary Assistant Chief Officer, Peter Jasper, said: "On behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk and Chief Constable of Norfolk Constabulary, we confirm that the accounts published on 16 April 2024 are the final audited set of accounts."

Reserves

Reserves play an important part in the financial management of the organisation. They are set aside for particular purposes, most importantly helping to support the budget pending savings coming on stream, funding invest-to-save initiatives, and funding capital spending such as short-life capital assets (body worn video, mobile devices, etc).

Annual investment and treasury management

The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy’s (CIPFA’s) Code of Practice for Treasury Management in the Public Services requires PCCs to produce a treasury management strategy for the year ahead.
