Ideal for new clerks and useful as a refresher for those with more experience, the session explains the AGAR process step by step in plain English, from year-end, internal audit to AGAR submission. You will learn what is required, how to avoid common mistakes, and what to check before submission, helping you complete your return accurately and on time. A straightforward course to build confidence and keep your council on the right track.
