The parish council is required to publish information in the format provided by the External Auditor, PKF-Littlejohn LLP. This document is known as the Annual Governance and Accountability Return, or AGAR, and is available to download in pdf format only.
The form attached is not complete; the failure to submit the necessary information to the external auditor for review was the reason for the publication of a public interest report in March 2021 which can be accessed here.
The council’s accounts were reviewed by an independent accountant in February 2023 and although there were some anomalies relating to the format of the accounts which should be maintained in ‘receipts and payments’ style rather than ‘income and expenditure’, it was found that basically the council’s financial situation is sound.
