APPENDIX No. 6.
REPORT OF THE ELECTED AUDITORS,
upon their examination of the vestry's accounts, for
the year ended at lady-day, 1892.
To the United Vestry of St. Margaret and St. John,
Westminster.
Gentlemen,
Having been elected by the ratepayers to enquire into the
accounts of the Vestry, we have at this, our fourth sitting,
completed that duty to the best of our ability, in so far as concerns
the financial year ended at Lady-Day last.
We have seen that every receipt has been duly credited,
and have examined every voucher, and every entry in the
Vestry's cash book and the Clerk's cash book; but we have
awaited, as in past years, the report of the professional
Accountants upon their laborious checking of the thousands
of counterfoils, rate-postings, and other details which originate
in the cash books.
That report, which has been laid before us to-day, so fully
confirms the result of our own independent comparison, as to
afford us pleasure in stating that we have found everything
straightforward and satisfactory, as indeed might have been
expected from the evidence we found of a regular system of
examination by the Finance Committee.
