The budget is reviewed by the Office & Finance Committee every 3 months. Papers from the most recent meeting, which include budget tracking, quarterly bank reconciliations & reserves information can be found as part of the Agenda papers under “Agendas & Minutes“
Where urgent projects or works beyond anticipation are agreed to during the year extra funding, taken from the parish’s general reserves, could be be added to the budget in year.
Each year the parish council has to complete an Annual Return (AGAR) to explain the use of public funds to a set format and that has to be agreed by the full parish council. The AGAR is then reviewed by a government appointed, centrally appointed External Auditor and any issues with our processes are noted
