Proposed formal write-off of debts
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision published: 15/01/2019
Effective from: 24/01/2019
Decision:
The Portfolio Holder introduced the report which proposed the formal write off of 342 accounts totalling £476,183.07. The proposals were in line with the Council’s Revenues and Benefits Service Write Off Policy and the Director for Finance and Economy had been consulted along with the Heads of Service for the relevant areas. He advised that provision for bad debts had been made in the final accounts to account for expected write-offs during the year. All reasonable and viable options to recover the debt had been pursued and would continue if possible in to the future. It was though an important part of strong financial management to regularly review and write-off uncollectable debts.
Resolved:
That (i) the action that accounts totalling £65,279.18 had been written off under delegated powers be noted (Financial Regulations 11.1)
(ii) the write offs listed in the Exempt Appendices totalling £410,903.89 be approved.
