West Bedlington Town Council’s annual statement of accounts are available to view at any time. Accountability and transparency are essential in everything we do, so we follow a strict legal framework to ensure public money is safeguarded, used economically and effectively, and always properly accounted for.
As part of our legal requirements, we complete an Annual Governance and Accountability Return every year and appoint an internal auditor to review and monitor our financial affairs. To ensure we are continually improving governance and accountability, we must report the outcome of our reviews for public inspection.
Our Annual Return is completed in June and usually returned in September. During this time, residents are invited to look at our accounts. In fact, you can ask to see our accounts at any time – simply contact us and we can send you the information you need.
Important note – accessibility regulations
We are aware that the Accounts and Audit Regulations requirement for a physical ‘wet ink’ signature on the original AGAR, does not allow parish council’s to fully comply with the Accessibility Regulations. The National Audit Office are aware that the two pieces of legislation are not compatible, therefore smaller authorities are advised to make it clear on their website that the document is a scan and will not be fully compliant with the Accessibility Regulations.
