The Statement of Accounts is subject to audit and so may change.

You can inspect related documents. This includes books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, and receipts. To do this you can make an appointment to visit our offices at Causeway House. You may also make copies of the accounts and documents.
You can submit an application to Mark Jarvis, Financial Services Manager by calling 01376 5572525.

Our external auditor is Aphrodite Lefevre, Director of BDO LLP, of 55 Baker Street, London, W1U 7EU.
The external auditor will give electors or their representative an opportunity to make objections and question them about the accounts, until completion of the audit. This could be in regards to any matter, in which the auditor could take action. For example, an unlawful item of account, or could make a report in the public interest.
This will be at the request of members of the public and local government electors for any area to which the accounts relate.
An objection cannot happen unless the external auditor has before received written notice of the proposed objection and its grounds.
A copy of this notice must also go to Mark Jarvis, Financial Services Manager.
