Good Morning Mr Barnes,
We are needing some clarification regarding your FOI below.
Can you please clarify what you mean when you are asking about the level
of cash reserves?
We don't hold cash in a reserve in the same way a private company might
set aside to pay for the future.
Is it the cash position on those specific days which would be in line with
the cash and cash equivalent note published in our annual accounts (note
21 of our 22-23 accounts:
[1]https://www.wirral.gov.uk/files/wirral-c...)
which is here?
This would include any cash accounts, overdrafts and short-term
investments that are on demand deposits.
Many Thanks
Emma Murphy
Information Management Officer
