Annual Governance and Accountability Return
The AGAR or Annual Governance and Accountability Return is a set of documents and financial statements that local councils are required to prepare and submit each year. It is an essential part of the external audit process.
The AGAR typically consists of various sections, including the Annual Governance Statement, Accounting Statements, and an Internal Audit Report. Each section requires specific information related to the council’s governance arrangements, financial transactions, assets and liabilities, income and expenditure, and other relevant details.
