2024 edition of the Practitioners' Guide
This week, we published the Joint Panel on Accountability and Governance (JPAG) 2024 edition of the Practitioners’ Guide. The 2024 edition applies to Annual Governance and Accountability Returns (AGAR) for financial years commencing on or after 1 April 2024. The most notable changes to the Practitioners’ Guide this year are a stronger encouragement for local (parish and town) councils to use gov.uk domains for websites and emails and a recommendation that local councils publish their full internal audit report on their website alongside the AGAR.
Read the Practitioners’ Guide on our website and the complete list of changes.
