Finance 2024-2025

In England every public authority is obligated to publish their financial documentation for every financial year.Transparency is one of the core values of Audlem Parish Council and as such we take great pride in publishing extended financial documentation of the Council. Publication of this extended documentation is not mandatory but we want to reassure a high standard of transparency in our work by doing so. This includes lists our full Accounts and Governance Accountability Return, details of our Internal Audits, and a detailed breakdown of the budget for each year.

The Annual Governance and Audit Review (AGAR) takes place annually for all Parish Councils. A Parish Council the size of Audlem is subject to a full review which requires completion of a year-end bank reconciliation , an assessment by an independent internal auditor, completion of the Annual Governance Statement, completion of Annual Accounting Statements, and any further documentation required such as an explanation of variances. The unaudited accounts will be available for inspection by arrangement with the Clerk. All Parish Councils are audited by PKF Littlejohn who will write to the Parish Council in Autumn 2025 to confirm the result of the audit.
