Nottingham City Council will discuss a report by accountants at an audit committee in Friday.
By Samantha JaggerA council has refused to publish a report that found its financial management "not fit for purpose".to its general fund.However the authority said it would only release its own summary as the findings "may impact on further activity".
So far the authority has only published its own summary of the feedback, named the Financial Controls Assessment, and said the original Ernst and Young report cannot be made public. It also said it was concerned about the council's "inability to find documents" and found there had been a high risk of managers overriding established financial controls unintentionally or "for reasons including expediency, efficiency or self-interest".
The Nottingham Independents and Independent Group said while the council's document provides a "useful summary", the full report should be made available to the Audit Committee "at the earliest opportunity".
