CIPFA website updated today. Now ‘only’ 6% of library authorities missing.

I doubt that the John Lewis Partnership would allow 6% of their stores to not report their performance.

The John Lewis Partnership [£8,000m costs with 31,000 staff] provides its annual report including its audited results 3 months after its year end.

The Public Library Service in England [£850m costs with 16,000 staff] provides its unaudited results / comparative reports 11.5 months after the year end. 48% of the authorities are missing.

Is the superintendence of the Public Library Service up to scratch?
