This webinar is ideal for:

• Town and Parish Council Clerks, RFO's & Councillors in England

With major regulatory updates rolling out over 2027 and 2028, keeping your Town or Parish Council compliant requires understanding of both the immediate requirements and upcoming statutory changes.

Key developments include the rollout of the Digital AGAR portal in 2026/27, its mandatory adoption in 2027/28, and structural updates to SAPPP Proper Practices, which will reshape year end audits and reporting for Town and Parish Councils across England.

Join Eleanor Greene, Chief Accountant at Do the Numbers Ltd and Secretary to the Internal Audit Forum, as she translates these statutory changes into a clear, stress-free roadmap—equipping Clerks, RFOs, and Councillors with complete audit confidence.
