Section 3 – External Auditor Report and Certificate 2019/20 (opens in a new tab as a web PDF)

AGAR Sections 1 and 2 AMENDED AUG 2020 (opens in a new tab as a web pdf) (Note: This document was amended in August 2020 when we became aware of an error – the wrong box had been ticked for Assertion 5, which is part of Section 1, and this error implied that we had passed a test which we had not. The correct box that has now been ticked correctly indicates that the Council failed to assess the significant risks to achieving its objectives and review the adequacy of arrangements to manage these, as confirmed by the internal auditor. This has now been amended, and the amendment has been initialed by both the Clerk and Chairman, as you can see in the amended document.)
