Your Right to Inspect the Accounts

Each year, the Council’s AGAR must be reviewed by an external auditor appointed by Smaller Authorities’ Audit Appointments Ltd. The unaudited AGAR for 2025/26 has now been published. As it has not yet been reviewed by the appointed auditor it remains subject to change as a result of that review.

Any interested person has the right to inspect and make copies of the accounting records for the year, along with all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, receipts, and other related documents. These will be made available for inspection on reasonable notice.

The period for the exercise of public rights runs from Thursday 25th June 2026 to Wednesday 5th August 2026.
