Auditors give township clean financial report

The municipality’s auditors have given this community a clean bill of financial health.

Matthew Venne and Joal Suraci of RLP LLP presented the 2011 auditors’ report to council on June 26.

Suraci told a smiling council that Mapleton was one of the first such audits he has done and that means lasting memories for him.

Both auditors thanked treasurer Mike Givens and his staff for their help and cooperation.

Venne explained that there were some minor changes in the report, but those are meant to clarify financial issues by “comparing apples to apples.”

Venne told council “You’ve met all the requirements of the year.”

Councillor Jim Curry said, “We’re in good financial shape and they’ve showed were in good shape.”

Venne agreed. “You’re diligently following the path.”

Givens told council, “The audit went well” and gave the credit to his staff.
