Accounts for the year ending 31 March 2026

In accordance with the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015, the Local Audit (Smaller Authorities) Regulations 2015 and the Local Government Transparency Code 2015, there is a requirement for the parish council to publish a number of documents on a public website - all of which are available to download direct from this website. Please note that in order to comply with the Accounts and Audit Regulations, it is stipulated that the Parish Council must provide a scanned version of the Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR). Unfortunately, this is inaccessible to screen readers, so this Council has chosen to publish the full, signed, AGAR in a slightly more accessible format.

In accordance with the accounting records for the financial year ending 31 March 2026, (which includes all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, receipts and other documents relating to those records) will be made available for inspection by any person interested, during a period of 30 working days set by the smaller authority which must include the first 10 working days of July 2026. 

For details of the dates set for Claydon & Whitton please use this link after 31 March 2026 which will allow you to download the details which also includes an article on: Local Authority Accounts: A Summary of Your Rights.

For a copy of the detailed guide produced by the National Audit Office 'Local authority accounts: a guide to your rights' please go to Local authority accounts: A guide to your rights. 

During the year, a number of documents will be made available to view, on a quarterly basis, which can be found using the links below. For details of financial transactions considered by the council, please visit the Agenda and Minutes page and view the associated papers for each meeting.
