I hereby certify that the Receipts and Payments Account, Income and Expenditure Account, and Balance-sheet have been duly examined and compared with the relative books and documents submitted for audit, and correctly state the position as disclosed thereby. The following comments are appended : (1) The asset, Te Aute Memorial Hall, represents expenditure on timber, some of which has been used on assets which are not the property of the Board. There are no stocK-sheets to support the unused timber. (2) There were no classified stores or production record in use during the year, nor was there any system in connection with the ordering of goods.—G. F. C. Campbell Controller and Auditor-General.
