Any interested person or journalist can inspect the accounts during the inspection period. Local electors have further rights to ask the auditor questions about the accounts, and to object to them, that are not open to interested persons or journalists. The Local Audit (Public Access to Documents) Act 2017 extends public inspection rights to journalists.
You can inspect your authority’s accounts, any related documents, and, if a local elector, any report the auditor made in that financial year. The law says you may inspect the accounts to be audited and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers and receipts relating to them for that financial year. You can copy all, or part, of these accounts and related documents (but you may have to pay for copies).
The local auditor is Mr Lesley Graham, 130 Mains Lane, Singleton FY6 7LB.
The external auditor is PKF Littlejohn LLP (Ref: SBA Team), 15 Westferry Circus, Canary Wharf, London E14 4HD (sba@pkf-l.com).
