Transparency code for smaller
authorities 2015
Department for Communities and Local Government
(DCLG) Policy: The transparency code will
represent a substitute for
external audit for parish
councils with an annual turnover not exceeding
£25,000. It is the Government’s
desire to place
more power
into citizens’ hands to increase democratic
accountability and to hold local public bodies to
account. Under the new framework smaller authorities,
including parish councils with an annual turnover not
exceeding £25,000, will be
exempt from routine external audit from 2016/17. Turnover is
defined as the higher of an authority’s gross
income for the year
and its gross expenditure for the year. In place of routine
audit, these smaller
authorities must comply with new transparency requirements
as laid out in the Transparency Code . This will enable
local electors and ratepayers to access relevant
information about the authorities’ accounts and
governance.
Since 2014/15 Luxulyan Parish Council's
turnover has exceeded £25K. Since the Code's
implementation,
the Council has resolved to comply with the Transparency
Code
voluntarily.
Parish Councils with a turnover below
£250K may use 'receipts and payments' bookkeeping,
as opposed to
'income and expenditure' accounting.
