Sumário executivo:
The Financial Monitoring report for the 1st Quarter of the financial year shows that Surrey Police Group is predicted to be £0.5m over budget by the end of March 2022 based on performance so far. This is based on an approved budget of £261.7m for the year. Capital is predicted to be £3.9m underspent depending on the timing of projects.
Financial Regulations state that all budget virements over £0.5m must be approved by the PCC. These are set out in Appendix E of the attached report.
BACKGROUND
Previsão de receita
The total budget for Surrey is £261.7m for 2021/22, against this the forecast outturn position is £262.2m resulting in an over spend totalling £0.5m. Given that it is still early in the year steps can be taken to mitigate this.

The operational response to the COVID 19 pandemic has resulted in additional unplanned costs which consist of the salary costs of police officers and staff, employee overtime, premises, lost income and supplies & services. Op Apollo is forecasting £0.837m expenditure which can be offset against the Surge Fund which was carried forward from 2020/21, this is reflected in the forecast. These costs may reduce as Op Apollo winds down due to the easing of restrictions.
There are variances within the budget, pay is forecasting an over spend overall with non-pay underspending to offset against this. Police officer numbers are increasing during the year as the recruitment plan delivers and the Force is on target to deliver the additional 149.4 precept and uplift posts.
Savings have been identified and are being tracked and removed from the budget. There is an overall shortfall in the 2021/22 savings totalling £162k which have yet to be identified however this should be possible over the rest of the year. It is future year’s savings from 22/23 onwards amounting to £20m over the next 4 years that pose the biggest challenge.
Previsão de Capital
The capital plan is forecast to underspend by £3.9m. For the 2020/21 financial year a new capital & investment gateway to proceed process was introduced for existing planned schemes. This step firmed up on the proposals put forward during the budget build and also allowed the funding position to be checked prior to giving the go ahead.

Given a number of major projects are currently being reviewed the variance may change over the rest of the year.
Viragens de receita
Per financial regulations only virements over £500k need approval from the PCC. The rest can be approved by the Chief Constables Chief Finance Officer. All the virements are listed below but only one, for transfer of uplift funding, requires formal approval by the PCC.
