The appointed auditor can be contacted at the address in paragraph 4 below for this purpose between the above dates only. - The smaller authority’s AGAR is only subject to review by the appointed auditor if questions or objections raised under the Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014 lead to the involvement of the auditor.
