Town Council Accounts For 2012/13 "Signed Off"

The accounts of the Town Council for the last financial year (2012/13) have been "signed off" by the Government-appointed auditor. This scrutiny demonstrates, once again, that the Town Council's accounts comply fully with all national guidelines and legislation.

Local councils in England must complete an Annual Return summarising their financial situation at the completion of each financial year. This Annual Return details the accounting records for the year ended 31 March 2013. In addition, the Annual Return confirms and provides assurance on issues important for sound financial management.

The Auditor concluded:

"The information in the Annual Return is in accordance with proper practices and no matters have come to our attention giving cause for concern that relevant legislation and regulatory requirements have not been met".
