Request For Audit Oakham Town Council Accounts 2014 - 2015

Request For Audit Oakham Town Council Accounts 2014 - 2015


I have sent the following request to the Clerk to have an agenda item
to call for an audit of Oakham Town Council's accounts which
they have failed to submitted to the external auditor due to "mistakes"




Wed, 12 Aug 2015 7:00pm

Report:

At a previous meeting Oakham Town Council agreed to appoint 
an accountant to review the 2014 - 2015 accounts.

It appears there was some confusing surrounding what my
proposal actually was.

Cllr Adam Lowe asked if anyone wanted to propose an auditor
was called in.

I proposed a full and thorough audit.

We have been told there were a number of entries
entered into the accounts in error. Money recorded 
when not actually received.
My concern is knowing these mistakes were made, how 
did the person preparing the accounts and annual return
get the accounts to balance. 


Proposal:

I propose Oakham Town Council appoint an external auditor
to conduct a audit of the 2014 - 2015 accounts.
