NOTICE OF PUBLIC RIGHTS AND PUBLICATION OF UNAUDITED ANNUAL GOVERNANCE & ACCOUNTABILITY RETURN
When smaller authorities have finished preparing accounts for the financial year and approved them, they must publish them (please see Accounts 2025/2026). There must be a 30 working day period, called the ‘period for the exercise of public rights’, during which you can exercise your statutory right to inspect the accounting records. The period for Aveton Gifford is running from 09/06/2026 – 20/07/2026.
Please see the documents below for more information:
The Department for Communities and Local Government require Parish Councils with a turnover of less than £25,000 to make available certain documents annually for the public to inspect. While the Parish Council has a turnover slightly greater than £25,000, it is good practice to follow the same guidance and in the interests of transparency, the parish council has made financial documents available to public view. These include the AGAR submissions and accounting statements, annual audit reports.
Financial information is submitted for consideration and recorded in the Minutes of every meeting. Monthly financial reports can be found in the ANNEX section of the minutes.
The draft Budget and Precept for the forthcoming financial year are always discussed at the January Parish Council meeting.
