Clyst Hydon Parish Council make it clear where and how public money is spent and is accountable for sound financial management.  The Council must be confident that when it spends public money it has legal power, it follows lawful procedure and does not take unnecessary risks.

Our budget runs from 1 April to 31 March – the budget shows how council’s policies are financed to provide services work for the benefit of the community.  The budget and policies are usually agreed by the Autumn of each year.  The Responsible Financial Officer – the Clerk – completes a precept request form from East Devon District Council which is received in January and April of each year.

Audit – Good governance, accountability and transparency are key to the Government’s approach to improving public services and those who are responsible for public money are accountable for ensuring public money is spent lawfully and using applicable proper practices and are required to report their arrangements in the Annual Governance Statement as provided by the External Auditor.
