      It is well known that the classical cell-centred finite volume schemes lack consistency in case that the cells being skewed. In this paper it is proven that cell-centred finite volume schemes approximate smooth solutions to systems of hyperbolic conservation laws at order one in space and time. A correction is constructed so that the lack of consistency can be circumvented in case of nonlinear systems in one space dimension.
