Auditors' Report
March 24,. 1969
The Mayor, Members of Council and Ratepayers
The •Corporation of the Town of Goderich
Goderich, pntaitt
Gentlemen:'
I have audited the accounts a'Qu -records of the Town of Goderich for the
year ended December 31, 1968 and have prepared therefrom the statements
listed in the index accompanying this report. ,
OPERATIONS.
The operationsor the year resulted in a deficit of $18,434 _after ,
transferring $2,550 from the reserve for working funds.
n •
R
GENERAL
1. The interest in the amount of $420 on ,the investment of $12,000 in the
Pollution Control Reserve Account has been deposited into the general
bank account and should be transferred to a separate bank account to be
held as a reserve)i.nd asset.
2. The proceeds receive1I in lieu of land from a subdivision in the amount of
$500 was deposited into the general bank but should have been deposited
into a separatebank account to be used for .the purpose of purchasing
park lands.
3. Final Ontario Municipal Board approval has been examined for Local
• Improvement costs for which debentures are to be issued in the amount of
$8,842. However expenses incurred'in 1968 amount to $12,806. A further
approval in the amount of $19,947 has been applied for but has not been
received.
4. No minutesof the, Goderich Arena Committee were available for "My
examination and I was informed that no such minutes were written up for
1968. The Ontario Water Resources Commission has not confirmed to me
the balances due from or to this Commission as at December 31, 1968.
The operations .of the other Boards and Commissions were asfollows for
the year'ended December 31, 1968.
Public lltilities Commission:
Water Supply System

Goderich District Collegiate

ASSETS
In reviewing these operating results it should be taken into eonsiderjation
that Goderich Arena Committee received grants of $7,000 in 1968 from the
Town of Goderich, whereas in 1967 no such grants were received. There also
should be taken into consideration that $16,244 was expended on Capital
expenditures out of revenue funds whereas in 1967 this type of expenditure
amounted to only $796.70. The Goderich Arena Committee does not have
the authority to incur a bank overdraft.
Arena admission tickets are not being used in consecutive serially
numbered series. This defeats in part the purpose, of buying serially numbered
tickets. It is, suggested that these tickets be used in their proper sequence.
AUDITOR'S OPINION
Subject to the qualifications concerning
1. Interest on Pollution Control Reserve Fund investment.
2. Deposit of funds received in lieu of park land. •
3. Approval by Ontario Municipal Board of expenditures to be debentured in
future years.
4. Failure to maintain Arena Committee minute book.
5. Unconfirmed . balances due from and to the Ontario Water Resources
Commission.
I hereby report that in my opinion
1. The financial transactions which have come under notice have been within
, the powers of the municipality.
2. The audit has been conducted in accordance with the instructions of the
Department of Municipal Affairs/
3. The financial statements ; present fairly the financial position of the
municipality as at -December 31; 1968, and the results of its operations for
the year ended on•• that date.
4. The financial statements have not been drawn up ori a basis consistent
with ,,prior years but rather on the new forms as developed by the
Department of Municipal Affairs.
