APPENDIX No. 7.
REPORT OF THE ELECTED AUDITORS,
upon their examination of the vestry's accounts for
the year ended at lady-day, 1890.
To the Vestry of St. Margaret and St. John the Evangelist,
Westminster.
Gentlemen,
We have this day completed the examination of the accounts
of your Vestry, in so far as its functions under the Metropolis
Local Management Acts are concerned, for the year ended at
25th March, for which purpose we were elected by the ratepayers
on the 28th May, 1889. Access has been given us to all the
books and documents necessary for our purposes, and we have in
many respects made a detailed check of the accounts, particularly
satisfying ourselves that vouchers exist for all payments and that
all receipts are duly credited; but we presume that the Vestry
will, as in the past six years, accept the report of the Chartered
Accountants as covering the complexities of the rate collection.
The financial department of the Vestry's business has worked,
under the evident close supervision of the Finance Committee,
with such regularity and system, and everything has been placed
so straightforwardly before us, that we have had pleasure in
testifying the correctness of the accounts, and in giving our
certificate of allowance.
