What is the right to inspect Parish Council accounts?

National legislation — the Local Audit and Accountability Act (2014) and the Accounts and Audit Regulations (2015) — gives registered voters the right to inspect their local authority's accounts, ask questions about them and object to them, during a period of 30 working days every year.

The 30 working day period must include a common period of inspection during which all smaller authorities' accounting records are available to inspect.

For 2022-2023 accounts this was 3-14 July 2023 Link to Notice
