Annual Governance & Accountability Return

Public money needs to be accounted for and the parish council submits to scrutiny each year, firstly by appointing an auditor to review the accounts (internal audit) and then by completing the necessary procedures for scrutiny by a government appointed body (external audit). The links below will allow you to see a summary of the council’s financial reports.

All reporting is provided for the previous financial year in accordance with the format of the Annual Return Form.

If you have any questions about the council’s financial management, please contact the Clerk at: clerk@kingsmeadpc.org.uk
