The Parish’s financial year runs from 1 April to 31 March.
The accounts are prepared by the Responsible Financial Officer (the Clerk) and are then subject to internal audit. Our current Internal Auditor is Mr John Plumb. This parish is a smaller authority where the gross income/gross expenditure does not exceed £25,000 and is therefore entitled to certify itself as exempt from a limited assurance review.
The Parish Council is required to advertise the audit and display a notice of conclusion of audit. These notices are displayed here and on the Parish Council Noticeboard.
If you would like to know more about the Council’s accounts and your rights, you can read the legislation regarding the Period of the Exercise of Public Rights and each year the Notice of Public Rights and Publication of Annual Governance & Accountability Return (exempt authority) is published below (this explains your rights and how and when you can view the accounts information).
The Parish Council’s Financial Regulations are available to view here: Financial Regulations (May-18).
