Default Speedometer inaccurate

Not long ago I got a 2.2 1996 Camry stationwagon, I have recently noticed a problem with the speedometer accuracy - it seems to be roughly 20km/h fast at all times. Does anybody know why this might be, and how I can fix it?
Also, will it be affecting the odometer as well?

have you recently changed your rims/tires to a different size? That can have a effect on your speedometer.
