County Council Electricity Audits
County council audits are essential for ensuring transparency, accountability, and proper use of public funds.
Here are some key points about how these audits work:
External Audits: These are conducted by independent auditors appointed however Energy has found in many cases the auditors only look at staff utilisation and the use of the light switch, nothing related to utilities is covered.
Internal Audits: These are carried out by the council’s internal audit service, which provides an independent and objective opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the council’s control environment. From reviewing these audits Energy4 has found clear attempts by utility providers misinform, lie, fabricate, and provide false information to County Councils.
Public Inspection: By law, council accounts must be made available to the public for inspection for a period of 30 working days. This allows electors to inspect the accounts and ask questions or challenge them if necessary.
Compliance and Governance: Internal audits help ensure that councils comply with statutory financial responsibilities and assist in the effective delivery of services. Energy4 found compliance and governance only works well if there are strategies produced that reflect on past decisions and improves and changes accordingly.

County Council Electricity Audits
County council utility audits are essential for ensuring that public funds are used efficiently and that utility services are managed effectively. Here are some key aspects of these audits:
Scope of Audits: Utility audits typically cover areas such as energy consumption, water usage, and waste management. They aim to identify inefficiencies, potential cost savings, and opportunities for improving sustainability.
External Audits: Conducted by independent auditors, these audits assess the council’s financial statements and ensure that public money is properly accounted for. Energy4 has found many of these audits overlooked key areas.
Internal Audits: These are carried out by the council’s internal audit team to provide an independent opinion on the adequacy and effectiveness of the council’s control environment. They often include reviews of utility contracts and expenditure. Energy4 has found many county councils were misinformed by suppliers, and worse auditors failed to investigate thoroughly.
Public Reporting: Audit findings are usually reported publicly to ensure transparency. This includes detailed reports on how the council manages its utility services and any recommendations for improvement. Energy4 does not mind there reports being made public
Compliance and Governance: Audits help ensure that councils comply with relevant regulations and governance standards. They also assist in the effective delivery of utility services, ensuring value for money and sustainability.

Business Advice
Penny-Pinching Promotions
– Be a good neighbour. Split advertising and promotion costs with neighbouring businesses. Jointly promote a sidewalk sale, or take your marketing alliance further by sharing mailing lists, distribution channels and suppliers with companies that sell complementary goods or services.
– Ask the people you know for help. The kind of support you’d most like to get from your contacts is referrals-the names of specific individuals who need your products and services. So go ahead and ask! Your contacts can also give prospects your name and number. As the number of referrals you receive increases, so does your potential for increasing the percentage of your business generated through referrals.
– Got a happy customer? By telling others what they’ve gained from using your products or services in presentations or informal conversations, your sources can encourage others to use your products or services.
– Make a special TV appearance. Local cable TV stations often have very reasonable advertising rates at time slots throughout the day and night. Though you won’t necessarily reach prime-time viewers, you will make an impression where it counts-in the comfort of potential customers’ homes.
– Offer expert advice. Teaching a class, speaking at a community meeting, or writing an article for a local paper not only makes you look like an expert but garners low-cost attention for your business.
