Disclaimed Opinions

1 story · discussed at 1 council meeting · 2 councils

Lambeth Council's 2025/26 financial statements received a disclaimed audit opinion, meaning auditors could not express a view.

Lambeth Council's financial statements for the year ending March 2026 received a disclaimed opinion from external auditors Forvis Mazars in October 2026. This means the auditors could not express an opinion on whether the accounts present a true and fair view. This outcome was due to insufficient audit evidence, citing historic challenges in preparing accounts and ongoing issues with the Pension Fund's balances.

This marks the third consecutive year Lambeth Council has received a disclaimed opinion on its financial statements. A disclaimed opinion signifies that auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to base an opinion. No upcoming council meetings are currently listed to discuss this specific audit outcome.
