A much-discussed audit report into Northumberland County Council's arms-length development company is set to be released to the public.
At a meeting of the council's audit committee on Wednesday, the council's interim director of finance, Jan Willis, announced that a redacted version of KPMG's forensic audit report into Advance Northumberland will be released to the public "shortly".
Confusion has surrounded the report for some time. In January, Ms Willis told the committee that the report could not be released as it was the subject of a long-term investigation by Northumbria Police. However, the force subsequently denied this.
