Publication date:

Request: 

I wanted to ask for data, between 2019/20 and 2022/23 for 
1.    If the accounts were published in those years. 
2.    Number of people who inspected the accounts in the time periods each year. 
3.    Number of requests/questions asked, and what they were/what areas they covered. 
4.    Number of objections raised, and what they were. 
5.    Any FOI requests relating to the accounts or finances (with the phrase ‘accounts’ of ‘inspection or statement of accounts’)
