Dear Members of Council:
We have completed our audit of the Municipality for the year ended December 31, 1996. Our
audit included a review of the accounting systems and internal controls to determine the nature
and extent of our audit tests. As a by-product of this process, we have certain observations and
comments which we wish to bring to your attention.
The municipality has some strong basic internal accounting controls in place. These include
restrictive endorsement of cheques upon receipt, cancellation of suppliers' invoices upon
payment, and ensuring that only authorized invoices are paid.
The effectiveness of these controls is enhanced by the competence and integrity of Lynda.
During the course of our audit, we found no evidence of any breakdown in these controls.
However, we stress the need for Council to continue to use the administrative controls which
are in place. These controls include the use of budgets, and Council's approval of all
disbursements.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Lynda for her co-operation and assistance that
we received during the course of our audit.
Yours very truly,
BARKER STANLEY & PARTNERS

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of Council, Inhabitants and
Ratepayers of The Corporation of the Village of Vienna
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of The Corporation of the Village of Vienna as at
December 31, 1996 and the consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Village's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Village as at December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations for the year
then ended in accordance with the accounting principles disclosed in Note 1 to the financial
statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 1996
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of the Municipality are the representation of management
prepared in accordance with accounting policies prescribed for Ontario municipalities by the
Ministry of Municipal Affairs. Since precise determination of many assets and liabilities is
dependent upon future events, the preparation of periodic financial statements necessarily
involves the use of estimates and approximations. These have been made using careful
judgments.
a) Basis of Consolidation
(i) Consolidated Balance Sheet
This statement reflects the assets and liabilities of the revenue fund, the capital fund and
includes the activities of all committees of Council and the following local boards, which
are under the control of council:
- Vienna Community Centre Board
- Museum Board
(ii) Consolidated Statement of Operations
This statement reflects the consolidated sources of financing and expenditures of the
revenue fund, reserves, and the capital fund of the Municipality and those boards,
described in Note 1(a)(i).
All interfund sources of financing and expenditures are eliminated with the exception of
interest income and expenses arising from loans and advances between the reserve funds
and other funds of the Municipality.
(iii) Accounting for County School Board Transactions
(gross less reduction)
The taxation and other revenues with respect to the operations of the school boards, and
the County of Elgin are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations but with no
effect on the Municipal Fund Balances since the total is shown as a deduction.
In addition the expenditures, assets and liabilities with respect to the operations of the
school boards, and the County of Elgin are not reflected in these financial statements.
(iv) Trust Funds
Trust funds and their related operations administered by the Municipality are not
consolidated, but are reported separately on the Trust Funds Balance Sheet and Statement
of Continuity.

THE CORPORATION OF THE VILLAGE OF VIENNA
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 1996
b) Basis of Accounting
(i) Sources of financing and expenditures are reported on the accrual basis of accounting with
the exception of principal and interest charges on long-term liabilities which are charged
against operations in the periods in which they are paid.
(ii) The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and
measurable, expenditures are recognized as they are incurred and measurable as a result of
receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal obligation to pay.
(iii) Fixed Assets
The historical cost and accumulated depreciation for fixed assets are not recorded for
municipal purposes. Fixed assets are reported as an expenditure on the Consolidated
Statement of Operations in the year of acquisition.
(iv) Capital Outlay to be Recovered in Future Years
"Capital outlay to be recovered in future years", which represents the outstanding
principal portion of unmatured long-term liabilities for municipal expenditures or capital
funds transferred to other organizations, is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
2. OPERATIONS OF SCHOOL BOARDS AND COUNTY OF ELGIN
Further to Note 1(a)(iii), the taxation, other revenues, and expenditures of the school boards and
the County of Elgin are comprised of the following:
School County
Boards of Elgin
Taxation and user charges 98,852 40,476
Share of taxation of telephone receipts 2,653 1,199
Amounts requisitioned 101,505 41,675
3. TRUST FUNDS

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of
The Corporation of the Village of Vienna
We have audited the trust fund balance sheet of The Corporation of the Village of Vienna as at
December 31, 1996 and the trust fund statement of continuity for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Village's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards
require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the trust fund of the Village as at December 31, 1996 and the continuity of trust fund for the year
then ended in accordance with the accounting principles disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements
As At December 31, 1996
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICY
Basis of accounting
Capital receipts and income are reported on the cash basis of accounting.
Expenditures are reported on the cash basis of accounting with the exception of administrative
expenses which are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which recognizes expenditures as
they are incurred and measurable as a result of the receipt of goods or services and the creation of
a legal obligation to pay.
2. ONTARIO HOME RENEWAL PROGRAM
The Ontario Home Renewal Program was established by the Ontario Ministry of Housing in 1973
to provide grants for municipalities to make loans to assist owner occupants to repair, rehabilitate
and improve their home to local property standards. Individual loans are limited to $7,500 of
which the maximum forgivable portion is $4,000.
Ontario Home Renewal Program loans receivable at December 31, 1996 comprise repayable
loans of $527 (1995 - $900) and forgivable loans of $nil (1995 - nil). Loan forgiveness is earned
and recorded at a rate of up to $600 per year of continued ownership and occupancy. In the
event of the sale or lease of the home or in the event of the homeowner ceasing to occupy the
home, the balances of the repayable loan and the unearned forgivable loan immediately become
due and payable by the homeowner.
