What the CPC Internal Auditor said....

In a good report there were a few problems the Internal Auditor came up with. These are:

Not only is the Council required to publish all payments over £500, but also the following:

The Constitution

Standing Orders

Financial Regulations

Code of Conduct

Complaints Procedure

Register of Interests of Councillors

All this is easy to resolve by publishing all these in a section of the website.Yet CPC doesn't do this.

Next:

Payments are being made before the payments have been approved by Councillors. This is wrong. This is because what the Parish Council is doing is against their own Financial Regulations. What is the point of having Financial Regulations approved by the Council and not followed by the Council?
