Accounting policies The consolidated financial statements of the Township of Hullett are the representation of management prepared in accordance with accounting policies prescribed for Ontario municipalities by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Since precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of periodic financial statements involves the use of estimates and approximations. These have been made using careful judgments. [a] [i] Basis of consolidation These consolidated statements reflect the assets, liabilities, sources of financing and expenditures of the revenue fund, capital fund, reserve funds and reserves and include the activities of the recreation committee and the Auburn community hall board which are under control of council. All interfund assets and liabilities and sources of financing and expenditures have been eliminated with the exception of loans or advances between reserve funds and any other fund of the municipality and the resulting interest income and expenditures. [ii] Non-consolidated entities The Blyth District Fire Area Board which is a joint local board is not consolidated. [iii] Accounting for county and school board transactions The taxation, other revenues, expenditures, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the County of Huron and school boards are not reflected in the municipal fund balances of these financial statements. Overlevies are reported on the consolidated balance sheet as other current liabilities. [iv] Trust funds and their related operations administered by the municipality are not consolidated but are reported separately on the trust funds statement of continuity and balance sheet. [b] Basis of accounting [i] Sources of financing and expenditure are reported on the accrual basis of accounting with the exception of principal charges on long-term liabilities which are charged against operations in the periods in which they are paid. [ii] The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable; expenditures are recognized as they are incurred and measurableasa result of receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal obligation to pay. [iii] The historical cost and accumulated depreciation of fixed assets are not reported for municipal purposes. Fixed assets are reported as an expenditure Continued on Page 13
