  • Year Ended March 2017 Audit Report to the Members of the Council
    Bretherton Parish Council – Year Ended March 2017 Audit Report to the Members of the Council. As in previous years I have audited of the books of account and associated reports for Bretherton Parish Council for the twelve months ended 31st March 2017 and detail below my observations; The accounting records are very well maintained and provide a clear audit trail through to the Annual Return submitted to the External Auditor. The prime entries are fully recorded and flow through to summaries from which monthly accounts are compiled. The audit was concerned with internal controls and ensuring that they were fit for purpose but the major amount of time was spent following the audit trail from original entry through to final accounts. During the audit the following checks were carried out; 1. Annual Precept 2. Expenditure documentation (invoices). 3. Income analysis along with supporting documentation where available. 4. Scrutinise council minutes for exceptional activity. The monthly financial submissions to council now include Bank Reconciliation and a Financial Monitoring Schedule , which effectively gives council an accurate overview of the financial state of the parish council. Full council at their meeting held on 1 st February 2016 agreed the Parish Precept. This was prepared to a documented timetable and reported against at each council meeting. A Risk Assessment was carried out in April 2017. Standing Orders (5 th October 2015) and Financial Regulations (5 th October 2015) are current and adopted by council. Bank Balances at the end of March 2017 were £20.9k; at the end of the prior year the balance was £14.7k.

Background: As a Lead Local Flood Authority, Lancashire County Council has a role in coordinating flood risk activities and ensuring the free flow of communication and collaborative works. In order to help achieve this, Lancashire County Council and relevant risk management authorities meet regularly to discuss local flooding issues and to identify opportunities for managing future flood risks. This has worked very well up to now and has allowed risk management authorities to work closely together to tackle often complex and challenging situations. However following the significant flooding that hit Lancashire in December 2015, it became evident that improvements could be made to the way in which these messages get communicated to affected communities. As such, Lancashire County Council has now developed a series of district level reports which aim to provide affected communities with information about what relevant risk management authorities are doing in their areas to help manage the risk of flooding from a variety of sources.
