Background:

 

This report provided a six-monthly progress report on Medway Commercial Group’s (MCG) performance for quarter 4 (2019-2020) to quarter 1 (2020 -2021). The report also explained a requirement for MCG to align its accounting policies and year end with Medway Council due to the Council requirement to produce Group Accounts from this financial year (2020 -2021).
