INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham :
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham,
which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2021, and the consolidated
statement of operations and accumulated surplus, consolidated statement of changes in net financial assets and
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the Municipality's consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Municipality as at December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian accounting standards for public sector entities.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Municipality in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial
Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with Canadian accounting standards for public sector entities, and for such internal control as
management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Municipality's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Municipality or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Municipality's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Municipality's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the Municipality's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Municipality to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identify during our audit.

THE CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF BAYHAM
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2021
The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham (the "Municipality") is a municipality in the Province of
Ontario. It conducts its operations guided by the provisions of provincial statutes such as the Municipal
Act, Municipal Affairs Act and related legislation.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of the Municipality are prepared by management in accordance
with Canadian accounting standards for public sector entities. Significant aspects of the accounting
policies adopted by the Municipality are as follows:
Reporting Entity
The consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the
reporting entity. The reporting entity is comprised of all organizations, committees and local boards
accountable for the administration of their financial affairs and resources to the Municipality and
which are 100% owned or controlled by the Municipality.
Consolidated Entities
The following local boards are consolidated:
- Various Cemetery Boards
Inter-departmental and inter-organizational transactions and balances between these organizations
are eliminated.
Proportionate Consolidation
The Elgin Area Primary Water Board and Port Burwell Water Board have been consolidated on a
proportionate basis. The Water Boards are proportionately consolidated based upon the water flow
used by our Municipality in proportion to the entire flows provided by the joint boards.
Accounting for School Board Transactions
Although the Municipality collects taxation on behalf of the School Boards, the taxation, other
revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the school boards are not
reflected in these statements.
Trust Funds
Trust funds and their related operations administered by the Municipality are not included in these
consolidated financial statements.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Basis of Accounting
The consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual
basis of accounting records revenue as it is earned and measurable. Expenses are recognized as they
are incurred and measurable based upon receipt of goods or services and/or the creation of a legal
obligation to pay.
Deferred Revenue
Government transfers, contributions and other amounts are received from third parties pursuant to
legislation, regulation or agreement and may only be used in the conduct of certain programs, in the
completion of specific work. In addition, certain user charges and fees which have been collected but
for which the related services have yet to be performed. Revenue is recognized in the period when
the related expense are incurred, services preformed.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian accounting
standards for public sector entities requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
period. In addition, the Municipality's implementation of the Public Sector Accounting Handbook
PS3150 has required management to make estimates of historical cost and useful lives of tangible
capital assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on the best information and judgment and
may differ significantly from actual results.
Government Transfers
Government transfers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as revenues in the
financial period in which events giving rise to the transfer occur, providing the transfers are
authorized, any eligibility criteria have been met including performance and return requirements, and
reasonable estimates of the amounts can be determined. Any amount received but restricted is
recorded as deferred revenue in accordance with Section 3100 of the Public Sector Accounting
Handbook and recognized as revenue in the period in which the resources are used for the purpose
specified.
In addition, the Municipality periodically receives senior government capital funding in the form of
infrastructure grants and receives ongoing funding from both senior levels of government as a result
of an allocation of the gas tax funds.

Year Ended December 31, 2021
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Non-Financial Assets
Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the
provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended
for sale in the ordinary course of operations. The change in non-financial assets during the year,
together with the excess of revenues over expenses, provides the Change in Net Financial Assets for
the year.
i) Tangible capital assets
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes all amounts that are directly attributable
to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. The cost, less residual value, of
the tangible capital assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as
follows:
Building and components 20 to 75 years
Vehicles 5 to 25 years
Machinery and equipment 5 to 27 years
Land improvements 18 to 25 years
Plants and facilities 20 to 75 years
Roads 20 to 60 years
Bridges and other structures 15 to 80 years
Underground and other networks 17 to 100 years
No amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and a full year of amortization is charged in the
year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for
productive use.
ii) Contributions of tangible capital assets
Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt
and also are recorded as revenue.
iii) Works of art and cultural and historic assets
Works of art and cultural and historic assets are not recorded as assets in these financial statements.
iv) Interest capitalization
The Municipality does not capitalize interest costs associated with the acquisition or construction of
a tangible capital asset.
v) Leased tangible capital assets
Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all of the
benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property are accounted for as capital leases. All other
leases are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease payments are charged to expenses
as incurred.

vi) Inventories of supplies
Inventories of supplies held for consumption are recorded at the lower of cost and replacement cost.
Tax Revenues
In 2021, the Municipality received $4,929,522 (2020 - $4,848,983) in property tax revenues for
municipal purposes. The authority to levy and collect property taxes is established under the
Municipal Act 2001, the Assessment Act, the Education Act, and other legislation.
The amount of the total annual property tax levy is determined each year through Council's approval
of the annual budget. Municipal tax rates are set annually by Council for each class or type of
property, in accordance with legislation and Council-approved policies, in order to raise the revenue
required to meet operating budget requirements. Education tax rates are established by the Province
each year in order to fund costs of education on a Province-wide basis.
Taxation revenues are recorded at the time billings are issued. Additional property tax revenue can
be added throughout the year, related to new properties that become occupied, or that become subject
to property tax, after the return of the annual assessment roll used for billing purposes. The
Municipality may receive supplementary assessment rolls over the course of the year from MPAC
that identify new or omitted assessments. Property taxes for these supplementary/omitted amounts
are then billed according to the approved tax rate for the property class.
Taxation revenues in any year may also be reduced as a result of reductions in assessment value
rising from assessment and/or tax appeals. Each year, an amount is identified to cover the estimated
amount of revenue loss attributable to assessment appeals, tax appeals or other deficiencies in tax
revenue (e.g. uncollectible amounts, write-offs, etc.).
Investments
Investments, consisting of one fund pooled bond securities, are recorded at cost plus accrued interest.
Investment income earned on available funds is reported as revenue in the period earned. When
required by funding government or related Act, investment income earned on deferred revenue is
added to the investment and forms part of the deferred revenue balance.
Employee Benefit Plans
The Municipality accounts for its participation in the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement
System (OMERS), a multi-employer public sector pension fund, as a defined contribution plan. The
OMERS plan specifies the retirement benefits to be received by the employees based on the length of
service and pay rates. Employee benefits include post employment benefits. Post employment
benefits are subject to actuarial valuations and are accrued in accordance with the projected benefit
method, prorated on service and management's best estimate of salary escalation and retirement ages
of employees. Any actuarial gains and losses related to past service of employees are amortized over
the expected average remaining service period.

Environmental Provisions and Contaminated Sites
The Municipality may be exposed to litigation or other costs of remediation due to contaminated
properties in it's jurisdiction. A liability for remediation is recognized in the financial statements
when an environmental standard exists, contamination exceeds the standard, the government is
responsible for the remediation and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. As at
December 31, 2021 there were no properties that the Municipality was responsible to remedy and as
such no liability has been accrued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
PSAB released a standard related to Financial Instruments (PS 3450). The standard applies to all
local governments for fiscal years beginning on or after April 1, 2022. The standard requires that all
financial instruments, which include the One Fund Investments, be reported at fair market value in a
statement of remeasurement gains/losses and to disclose any risks associated with it's financial
instruments.

The Municipality makes annual estimates and allowances for potential exposure to property tax
appeals, reassessments, environmental and collection issues. Included in the taxes receivable is
$287,766 (2020 - $695,932) of taxes, penalties and interest that is due from one specific gas pipeline
property that is under going various appeals and financial restructuring. The Municipality's exposure
to loss on these balances is estimated to be between 25% to 30% if it is determined that nothing is
recoverable from this property. At year end, the Municipality made an assessment of the exposure
based on current information and didn't make any significant allowances for these amounts in the
taxes receivable presented on the statement of financial position, but has set aside $67,000 (2020 -
$341,000) in the contingency reserve for any losses should they occur on this property. The
Municipality is vigorously attempting various forms of collection to mitigate the Municipality's
exposure to loss.

8. TRUST FUNDS
Trust funds administered by the Municipality amounting to $273,166 (2020 - $268,837) have not
been included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position nor have their operations been
included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
9. DEFERRED REVENUE - OBLIGATORY RESERVE FUNDS
A requirement of the public sector accounting principles of the Canadian Institute of Chartered
Professional Accountants is that obligatory reserve funds be reported as deferred revenue. This
requirement is in place as provincial legislation restricts how these funds may be used and under
certain circumstances these funds may be refunded. The balances in the obligatory reserve funds of
the Municipality are summarized below:
2021 2020
$ $
Development charges 30,735 30,239

10. PENSION AGREEMENTS
The Municipality makes contributions to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Fund
(OMERS), which is a multi-employer plan, on behalf of its staff. The plan is a defined benefit plan
which specifies the amount of the retirement benefit to be received by the employees based on the
length of service and rates of pay. Each year, an independent actuary determines the funding status
of OMERS Primary Pension Plan (the Plan) by comparing the actuarial value of invested assets to the
estimated present value of all pension benefits the members have earned to date. The most recent
actuarial valuation of the Plan was conducted December 31, 2021, and the results of this valuation
disclosed actuarial liabilities of $120.7 billion in respect of benefits accrued for service with actuarial
assets at that date of $117.6 billion leaving an actuarial deficit of $3.1 billion.
Since any surpluses or deficits are a joint responsibility of all Ontario municipalities and their
employees, the Municipality does not recognize any share of the OMERS Pension surplus or deficit
in these consolidated financial statements.
The amount contributed to OMERS for 2021 was $166,264 (2020 - $166,264).

13. CONTINGENCIES
As at December 31, 2021, certain legal actions are pending against the Municipality. The final
outcome of the outstanding claims cannot be determined at this time. However, management believes
that ultimate disposition of these matters will not materially exceed the amounts recorded in these
consolidated financial statements.
As at December 31, 2021, the Municipality also has a Writ of Seizure and Sale registered against the
assets of the Elgin Military Museum. Although the Municipality expects no further recoveries from
the assets of the Elgin Military Museum, the Municipality will ensure the Writ of Seizure and Sale is
registered on title indefinitely.
Estimated costs to settle claims are based on available information and projections of estimated
future expenses developed based on the Municipality's historical experience. Claims are reported as
an operating expense in the year of the loss, where the costs are deemed to be likely and can be
reasonable determined. Claim provisions are reported as a liability in the consolidated statement of
financial position.

During and subsequent to year end, the Municipality was exposed to economic risks associated with
the coronavirus pandemic. These risks are beyond the Municipality’s control. The Municipality has
experienced some operational changes, but overall the financial impact has been limited. The
Municipality's main exposure is to it's investments (Note 2). These investments may experience
reduced returns due to the market fluctuations, but to date these returns have not been significantly
impacted.

16. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Municipality is a diversified municipal government institution that provides a wide range of
services to its citizens, including fire, roads, sewer and water. For management reporting purposes
the Government’s operations and activities are organized and reported by Fund. Funds were created
for the purpose of recording specific activities to attain certain objectives in accordance with special
regulations, restrictions or limitations.
Municipal services are provided by departments and their activities are reported in these funds.
Certain departments that have been separately disclosed in the segmented information, along with the
services they provided, are as follows.
Public Works
The Public Works department is responsible for the delivery of municipal public works services
related to the planning, development and maintenance of roadway systems, the maintenance of
parking and open space, and street lighting.
The Water and Waste Funds
The water and wastewater department provides drinking water to citizens of the municipality, as well
as, collection and treatment of wastewater. This department is responsible for the operation and
maintenance of both systems in accordance with government regulations under the Safe Drinking
Water Act and other pieces of legislation.
Other segments
This segment includes the remaining departments and activities of the Municipality. Some of the
larger activities in this segment include general government, fire, police, public health services,
recreation and cultural services, planning and development and solid waste collection and disposal.
For each reported segment, revenues and expenses represent both amounts that are directly
attributable to the segment and amounts that are allocated on a reasonable basis. Therefore, certain
allocation methodologies are employed in the preparation of segmented financial information. The
General Revenue Fund reports on municipal services that are funded primarily by taxation such as
property and business tax revenues. Taxation and payments-in-lieu of taxes are apportioned to
General Revenue Fund services based on the Fund’s net surplus. Certain government transfers,
transfer from other funds, and other revenues have been apportioned based on a percentage of
budgeted expenses.
The accounting policies used in these segments are consistent with those followed in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements as disclosed in Note 1. For additional information see the
Consolidated Schedule of Segment Disclosure and Schedule of Segment Disclosure.
