The Accounts and Audit Requlations 2015 require smaller authorities, each financial year, to conduct a review of the effectiveness of the system of internal control and prepare an annual governance statement in accordance with proper practices in relation to accounts.
The purpose of the annual governance statement is for an authority to report publicly on its arrangements for ensuring that its business is conducted in accordance with the law, regulations and proper practices and that public money is safeguarded and properly accounted for.

Accounts and audit for 2020-21 financial year
The preparation, audit and publication of parish councils’ accounts is a formal process governed by The Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 and the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015. The following gives an overview of the process for this Council.
In April 2021 the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021, including the Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR), were prepared and an Internal Audit Report undertaken. The accounts and AGAR (including the Internal Auditor’s report) were approved by the Meeting of the Council on 27th May 2021. These and other financial documents relating to 2020-21 are published below:
Following approval of the accounts and Annual Return, there is a statutory period of 30 working days for the public and local electors to exercise their rights to inspect these documents and other financial documents underlying them (such as invoices and receipts), or to submit questions or objections to the external auditors. Formal notices have been placed on this website and on public noticeboards around the Group Parish concerning the dates for this, which are Monday 14 June 2021 to Friday 23 July 2021 inclusive.
