A North Yorkshire
Village
St Oswald’s Farnham
3) Approval of Accounting Statements
The details Accounting Statements are shown above.
Grass cutting costs were slightly lower than last year because there was one
less village grass cut. The NYCC grass cutting grant was the same as last
year. HBC no longer pays grants for ground maintenance. No clock service
was required during the year. Reserves are maintained for future clock
services, potential increases in grass cutting cost, for costs that may arise in
advance of the related grant, and a contribution towards a reserve for traffic
calming measures that may be adopted in future. At its last Meeting the
Parish approved a request for a precept of £1700 for 2021/22 (no change
from this year). The Chairman must sign and date the Accounting Statements
at the Meeting, after they have been formally approved by resolution.
4) Law and Regulation
The Meeting is not required to have an external audit of the Accounting
Statements as both its income and expenditure are below £25,000 for the
year, but will continue to make the accounts, together with the Annual
Governance Statement, Notice of Public Right to review the books, Meeting
agendas and minutes available on both the village notice board and website.
The Meeting must formally agree the exemption and authorise the Chairman
to sign the completed exemption form.
