TOWNSHIP OF BiDDULPH
AUDITOR'S REPORT
To:The Members of Council, Inhabitants and
Ratepayers of the Corporation of the
TOWNSHIP OF BIDDULPH.
We have examined the consolidated balance sheet of the
Corporation of the Township of Biddulph as at December 31,
1978. and the consolidated statements of revenue and expen-
diture and capital operations, for the year then ended. Our
examination was made in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standard', and accordingly included such
tests and other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
In our opinion. these consolidated financial statements
present fairly the financial position of the Corporation of the
Township of Biddulph as at December 31, 1978, and the
results of its operations for the year then ended in accor-
dance with accounting principles generally accepted for On-
tario municipalities applied on a basis consistent with that of
the previous year.
