Township of Hullett
The Reeve, Members of Council and Ratepayers
The Corporation of The -Township of Hullett,
Londesboro, Ontario.
Gentlemen:
I have audited the accounts and records of the Corpor-
alien.. of The Township of Hullett for the year ended Decem-
ber 31, 1967 and have prepared therefrom the statements list-
ed in the index accompanying this report.
Operations
The operations for the year resulted in a deficit of
$7,451.76 compared with a deficit of $14,278.77 for the year
ended December 31, 1966.
Presented herewith is a condensed Statement of Com-
, parative Revenue and Expenditure for the three years end-
ed December 31, 1967, 1966 and 1965.•

Gon•ral
The account§ and records for the Township of Hullett
were not maintained in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for the year ended December 31, 1967.
No serially numbered duplicate receipts were used so
Auditor's Report
that it is not possible to verify that all cash received was de-
posited and properly distributed in the cash book. Several
errors in distribution were made and considerable time was
spent trying to determine the source of funds deposited. I
was unable to identify $780.50 cash received and a review
with the Treasurer failed to provide useful information con-
cerning this matter. •
The,tax roll was prepared carelessly and in many cases
the wrong rates were charged and amounts were distributed
into theeweang columns so that in order to summarize the
roll, a great number of corrections had to be made. There are
some overpayments and underpayments on the 1967 roll which
would have been located if the Treasurer had balanced the
roll properly as is his responsibility.
In 1966 a School Board was overpaid $765.00 and as yet,
it appears the amount has not been recovered.
Four property owners have overpaid 1965 and 1966
taxes in a total amount of $656.64. If tax recordsweremain-
tained properly, these ratepayers could be informed of the
.overpayments and refunds made at the time. At the time of
audit, the Treasurer appeared to be unaware that overpay-
ments had occurred.
There is still a large• number of accounts receivable
which have been outstanding for a number of years. These
accounts should be reviewed ,and an attempt made to col-
lect them; uncollectible accounts should be written off by
motion of council.
Several municipal drains were continued in 1967,- but
no subsidiary drain records were maintained.
No budgetwas prepared for 1967 as is required by
section 297 of the Ontario Municipal Act.
The bank loans are in excess of the amounts permitted
by section 329 of the OntarioMunicipal Act.
*There is no authority for prelevies for municipal drain
debentures.
Overlevies and underlevies as shown on schedules 8
and 9 are excessive due to the fact that incorrect rates were
used. These overlevies and underlevies should be taken into
consideration when setting the 1968 rates.
Proper budgets are not being prepared by some School
Boards and some municipalities do not prepare'a schedule of
' debenture debt assumed from other municipalities. The re-
sult is that incorrect payments are being made to the school
boards and to the municipalities.
In order to reduce bank borrowing, it is suggested that
a reserve for working funds be set up and increased to at
least the amount of the average taxes outstanding. This is
done by inchtding on the expense sideof the budget an
athount to be raised and retained as a reserve for working
funds as provided by section 297 (2) of the Ontario Municipal
Act.
AUDITOR'S OPINION
Subject to the foregoing qualifications, I hereby re-
port that in my opinion: ,
(1) The financial transactions which have come under
my 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, 1967 and
the results of its operations for the year ended on that date.
