Internal Control Policy
Caister-On-Sea Parish Council holds a responsibility under Regulation 5(1) of the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 to conduct an annual review of the effectiveness of its system of internal control.
This requirement is detailed in the legislation: Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015.
The effectiveness review of the Council’s control systems is based on contributions from:
- The Council and relevant Committees
- The Clerk and Responsible Finance Officer (RFO)
This annual review supports accurate completion of Section 2 of the Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR), affirming that “an adequate system of internal control, including measures designed to prevent and detect fraud and corruption, has been maintained and reviewed for its effectiveness.”
