Note a - The audit fee comprises £121k for the audit of the CPS 2009-10 Resource Accounts and £21k for the audit of IFRS. There has been no auditors' remuneration for non-audit work. The audit fee for 2008-09 comprises £92k for the audit of the CPS 2008-09 Resource Accounts, £62k for the audit of the RCPO 2008-09 Resource Accounts, £11k for the audit of CPS IFRS Trigger Point 2 and £3k for the audit of RCPO IFRS Trigger Point 2.

Note b - Accommodation and associated costs have increased by over £3 million compared to 2008-09 as a result of assuming the lease for the new HQ building at Rose Court whilst continuing to occupy Ludgate Hill pending in-going works. Occupying both buildings also increased facilities management expenditure.

Note c - Consultancy and professional charges increased by £1 million as a result of professional charges associated with the extension of the PFI contract with Logica. There were also increases in costs for professional fees in relation to training and grievances.
