An Internal Audit will be completed and all appropriate documents will be published, at the appropriate time, on this website. A new external auditor has already been appointed to provide a platform for any member of the public to contact, should they wish to question any element of the Parish Council's accounting statements for the year 2017 2018 and beyond.
