There is a small part of me wondering if, perhaps, the wrong version of the AGAR was sent to auditors especially if you've had a change of staff? I only say that because once I did that when I was a clerk as I attached the version which was my draft (it wasn't changed!) by accident rather than the actual signed scanned version. Auditors questioned it and I had to offer a grovelling apology and a promise to take more care next time. It's easily done. However, there should at least be a minute to confirm that the AGAR was reviewed by, accepted and the chair and clerk authorised to sign on behalf of the council.
