Financial monitoring
Lambeth Council faces financial management risks, as councils review performance and governance.
Lambeth Council is currently facing significant financial management risks, with an independent Grant Thornton review in October 2026 finding it at risk of non-compliance in eight key financial areas. These include demonstrating value for money, financial resilience, and monitoring financial performance, according to a report presented to the Audit and Risk Committee.
Other councils have also recently reviewed their financial performance. In September 2026, Kensington and Chelsea Council's Audit and Transparency Committee reviewed an Auditor's Annual Report highlighting governance weaknesses, while Lewisham Council's Public Accounts Select Committee discussed financial monitoring for the 2026/27 period.
