We have audited the consolidated statement of financial position of the Corporation of the County of Huron as at December 31, 2001 and the
consolidated statements of financial activities and cash flows for the year then ended. These statements are the responsibility of the County's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to

of Huron as at December 31, 2001. the results of its financial activities and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting
principles for municipal govemmeMs established by the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants.
