Annual Internal Audits
The Parish Council is committed to maintaining the highest standards of governance, financial management, and accountability.
As part of this commitment, an independent internal audit is carried out each year to review the Council’s systems of internal control and ensure that it is operating in accordance with legal requirements and proper practices.
The internal auditor examines a range of areas, including financial management, risk management, governance, compliance with legislation, and the effectiveness of the Council’s procedures. The audit provides independent assurance to the Council that appropriate controls are in place and identifies any recommendations for improvement where necessary.
The findings of the internal audit form part of the Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) and help the Council demonstrate that it is managing public funds responsibly and transparently. Any recommendations made by the internal auditor are considered by the Council and, where appropriate, acted upon to further strengthen governance and financial controls.
By publishing our Annual Internal Audit reports, we aim to provide residents with confidence that the Council is committed to continuous improvement, good governance, and the responsible stewardship of public money.
