Notice of Public Rights and Publication of Annual Governance and Accountability Return for an Exempt Authority
Thursday 30th June 2022
Each year the smaller authority
prepares an Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR). The AGAR has been published with this notice.
It will not be reviewed by the appointed auditor, since the smaller authority
has certified itself as exempt from the appointed auditor’s review.
Any person interested has the right to inspect and
make copies of the AGAR, the accounting records for the financial year to which
it relates and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, receipts and other
documents relating to those records must be made available for inspection by
any person interested. For the year ended 31 March 2022, these documents will
be available on reasonable notice by application to: The Clerk, Aylesbeare Parish Council, 8 Little Silver, EXETER EX4 4HU from Friday 1st July to Thursday 11th August inclusive.
Local government electors and
their representatives also have:
·
The opportunity to question the appointed
auditor about the accounting records; and
·
The right to make an objection which
concerns a matter in respect of which the appointed auditor could either make a
public interest report or apply to the court for a declaration that an item of
account is unlawful. Written notice of an objection must first be given to the
auditor and a copy sent to the smaller authority.
The appointed auditor can be contacted at the address in the paragraph below for this purpose between the above dates only.
The smaller authority’s AGAR is only
subject to review by the appointed auditor if questions or objections raised under
the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 lead to the involvement of the
auditor. The appointed auditor is:
PKF Littlejohn LLP (Ref: SBA Team)
15 Westferry Circus
Canary Wharf
London E14 4HD

This announcement is made by __Jim
Roberts,
Clerk & RFO Aylesbeare Parish Council
Further financial and governance reports and a copy of the AGAR form are on our Meetings-Policies-Finance page.
