The audit of the 2024/25 Accounts and Statements has now been concluded and the Statement of Accounts has been published. The Completion of Audit Notice has now been received from Mazars, informing the Council that "the information in Sections 1 & 2 of the AGAR is in accordance with Proper Practices and no other matters have come to their attention giving cause for concern that relevant legislation and regulatory requirements have not been met" and "that there were no other matters affecting their opinion which needed to be drawn to the attention of the authority". The notice was published on 29th September 2025. For the rights of inspection conferred on local government electors by section 25 of the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 - please see the Notice of Conclusion of Audit file below, giving information as to how to inspect the Annual Return.
We have been asked by the External Auditor to highlight the following regarding Accessibility Regulations:
"We are aware that the Accounts and Audit Regulations requirement for a physical ‘wet ink’ signature on the original AGAR, does not allow parish council’s to fully comply with the Accessibility Regulations. The National Audit Office are aware that the two pieces of legislation are not compatible, therefore smaller authorities are advised to make it clear on their website that the document is a scan and will not be fully compliant with the Accessibility Regulations".
