Internal Audit Reports

Annual report from a qualified practitioner who has reviewed this council's finances and AGAR forms to see if the council is at risk from any financial irregularities.

Each year the council appoints a professional (such as a chartered accountant) to do an audit of our financial files. This report, along with the AGAR form, then gets submitted to our external auditor, PKF Littlejohn.
Councils with an annual income less than £25,000 are exempt from a limited review, unless they are chosen in the random 5% sample for an intermediate audit.

For more information on what the AGAR is and who PKF Littlejohn are, please see the following links:
