Revenue Outturn for the year

  1. A total revenue budget of £262m was approved by the predecessor of the current PCC in February 2021
  2. Government Grants increased by £5.4m to £118m as a result of additional funding for new officers and a recognition of rising costs. The remaining £144m, reflecting an increase in the Precept, was provided from local residents through the Collection fund
  3. During the year a number of budget virements were approved between budgets were approved in line with Financial Regulations but these did not change the overall budget set.
  4. The unaudited revenue outturn for the year 2021/22 for the Group was as follows

 

To the 31st Márta 2021
Iarbhír Buiséad Diffríochtaí
£ m £ m £ m %
Fórsa Póilíneachta 257.4 258.9 (1.5) 0.58
Office of the PCC 2.6 2.8 (0.2) 0.07
Total Police Fund 260.0 261.7 (1.7) 0.65%

 

  1. For the Force savings have arisen in areas such as Police and staff payroll (due to phasing of recruitment, difficulty in filling staff vacancies and variances in pay rates), premises, training and transport. The Force has also benefitted from income for officers sent to major events during the year such as G7 and COP26.
  2. The larges element of the OPCC underspend relates to commissioned services budgeted to be paid for by the OPCC but in fact, as a result of a successful grant application, were funded by Government. The OPCC has been particular successful in attracting over £1.3m in additional funding during the year for use on service supporting victims and crime prevention. There were also underspends in external advice and Governance.
  3. The Group savings target for the year of £6.4m was also achieved and is reflected in the outturn.

Aistriú go Cúlchistí

  1. As a result of the overall budget being underspend and other adjustments the PCC is asked to approve the following transfers to reserves:
  • £1.035m to General Reserve to bring it to the recommended level of 3% of NRE to cover risks around the delivery of savings in future years;
  • £0.513m to the Cost of Change reserves to fund future improvements to services;
  • £0.234m to the PCC Operational Reserve to reflect underspend for the year for the OPCC.
  • £0.348m to Covid reserve reflecting grant received at the year end to allow for future Covid costs;
  • £0.504m from the Ill Health reserve to reflect claims made in the year;
  • £0.338 net to the Insurance reserve to reflect changes in the actuarial assessment of the level required in this reserve.
  1. This will result in the unaudited reserves and provisions being as follows as at the 31st March 2022:
