Finance & Audits
The council has processes in place to ensure its financial activity is transparent and accountable. The Financial Working Group meets quarterly and reviews finances, performance against budget and recommends precept levels for the following year.
Each month expenditure is reviewed/approved at the meeting and then two councillors authorise payments through our online banking. The payment schedule is included in the finance section of the monthly agenda.
Our Financial Regulations can be found here.
In addition to more formal regulatory reporting below, a more accessible and informative one page summary of the latest annual accounts can be found here.
Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR)
Each year the council undergoes an internal audit where processes, accounts, and critical documents are reviewed and verified by an appointed independent auditor. Following that an external audit is conducted by PFK Littlejohn to ensure compliance and transparency.
