Exchequer Functions

The exchequer section is responsible for the following:

• Creditor payments [Accounts Payable]
• Debtor collection [Accounts Receivable]
• Payroll
• Council Insurance Cover
• Members Allowances
  

The Government has set a target for every council to monitor prompt payment of invoices. All the council's services have the achievement of the above target high on their list of priorities for service delivery.

In addition the Council has signed up to an initiative to pay invoices more quickly to help local businesses in the current economic climate.
