Internal Audit
The internal audit is an independent review of the Parish Council’s financial systems, procedures, and controls. It ensures that public money is being properly managed and that the Council is complying with relevant laws and regulations. The internal auditor is appointed by the Council but must be completely independent of its financial decision-making. The findings are reported as part of the Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR).
Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR)
The AGAR is completed annually and reviewed by an external auditor appointed by the Smaller Authorities’ Audit Appointments (SAAA). It includes:
-
The Annual Internal Audit Report
-
The Annual Governance Statement
-
The Accounting Statements
Notice of Public Rights
