2. Each year the smaller authority’s Annual
Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) needs to be reviewed by an
external auditor appointed by Smaller Authorities’ Audit Appointments
Ltd. The unaudited AGAR has been published

is subject to change as a result of that review.
Any person interested has the right to inspect and
make copies of the accounting records for the financial year to which the
audit relates and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, receipts and
other documents relating to those records must be made available for
inspection by any person interested. For the year ended 31 March 2020, these
documents will be available on reasonable notice by application to:
The Town Clerk, Keynsham Town Council
15-17 Temple Street, Keynsham, Bristol BS31 1HF
townclerk@keynsham-tc.gov.uk
commencing on Friday 25
June 2021
and ending on: Thursday 5 August 2021

representatives also have:
·
The opportunity to question the

first be given to the auditor and a copy sent to the smaller authority.
The appointed auditor can be contacted at the address in paragraph 4
