Dear Mr Gill
Collingbourne Ducis Parish Council
Completion of the limited assurance review for the year ended 31 March 2019
We
have
completed
our
review
of
the
Annual
Governance
&
Accountability
Return
(AGAR)
for
Collingbourne
Ducis
Parish
Council
for
the
year
ended
31
March
2019.
Please
find
the
external
auditor
report
and
certificate
(Section
3
of
the
AGAR
Part
3)
included
for
your
attention
as
another
attachment
to
the email containing this letter along with a copy of Sections 1 and 2, on which our report is based.
The external auditor report and certificate detail any matters arising from the review. The smaller authority
must consider these matters and decide what, if any, action is required.
Action you are required to take at the conclusion of the review
The Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (SI 2015/234) set out what you must do at the conclusion of the
review. In summary, you are required to:
Prepare a “Notice of conclusion of audit” which details the rights of inspection, in line with the statutory
requirements. We attach a pro forma notice you may use for this purpose.
Publish the “Notice” along with the certified AGAR (Sections 1, 2 & 3) before 30 September, which must
include publication on the smaller authority’s website.
Keep copies of the AGAR available for purchase by any person on payment of a reasonable sum.
Ensure that Sections 1, 2 and 3 of the published AGAR remain available for public access for a period
of not less than 5 years from the date of publication.
Fee
We enclose our fee note for the review, which is in accordance with the fee scales set by Smaller Authorities'
Audit Appointments Ltd. Please arrange for this to be paid at the earliest opportunity.
Additional charges are itemised on the fee note if applicable. These arise where either we were required to
issue chaser letters and/or exercise our statutory powers due to a failure to provide an AGAR; or we had to
