[RP TownTalk] Town of Riverdale Park Finances

[Vernon Archer]

James and interested residents,

While I don't agree that there was any claim (by me at any rate) that the
audit "praised the audit controls...." because auditors are not in the
business of praising, or condemning for that matter, town practices.  They
are asked to express an opinion about whether our financial statements
present "fairly" (or not) the financial position of the town as of the
close of the fiscal year.

That being said, I will absolutely love it for our residents to examine our
audit. We will get a .pdf file made of the audit and it will be on the web
site in a day or two. Either I or staff will post notice here on Town
Talk once it is up and available.

I gladly give you your due James! Outstanding recommendation!

Vern
