ANNUAL GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY RETURNS


In 2017-18  a new regime for the submission and publication of financial and governance control was introduced for local authorities, replacing the previous single "Annual Return" of income and expenditure.

Authorities with under £25,000 of income or expenditure can claim exemption from some of the detailed requirements applicable to larger authorities.
