2024-2025 Audit Papers
Marden Parish Council's accounts are audited via Auditing Solutions, acting as our Internal Auditor, who undertake visits to view the PC's accounts and other auditing documents twice a year.
The end of year accounts for 2024-2025 have been audited by the Internal Auditor who has completed the relevant forms on the Annual Government and Accountability Return (AGAR) for 2024/25. Marden Parish Council agreed the AGAR at its meeting on 10th June 2025 when the Clerk/RFO and Chairman signed the appropriate papers.
The Audited AGAR has now been received back from Forvis Mazars, the External Auditors and this can be viewed below along with the Notice of Conclusion.
Please also see below paperwork submitted to Mazars in June 2025 including details for the notice of electors' rights, declaration, summary of public rights and Sections 1 and 2 of the AGAR for 2024/2025 and the Internal Audit Reports.
Currently Parish Councils are required under the Accounts and Audit Regulations to provide a physical "wet ink" signature when signing the AGAR. However, this does not allow Marden Parish Council to fully comply with the Accessibility Regulations. The AGAR is a scanned copy and therefore not fully compliant with the Regulations.
