HWXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, BOARD OF REGENTS, 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 
Sirs: Pursuant to agreement we have audited the accounts of the Smithsonian 
institution for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1946, and certify the balances of 
cash on hand, including petty cash fund, June 30, 1946, to be $809,310.45. 
We have verified the records of receipts and disbursements maintained by 
the Institution and the agreement of the book balances with the bank balances. 
We have examined all the securities in the custody of the Institution and in 
the custody of the banks and found them to agree with the book records. 
We have compared the stated income of such securities with the receipts 
of records and found them in agreement therewith. 
We have examined all vouchers covering disbursements for account of the 
Institution during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1946, together with the authority 
therefor, and have compared them with the Institution’s record of expenditures 
and found them to agree. 
We have examined and verified the accounts of the Institution with each trust 
fund. . 
We found the books of account and records well and accurately kept and the 
securities conveniently filed and securely cared for. 
All information requested by your auditors was promptly and courteously 
furnished. 
We certify the balance sheet, in our opinion, correctly presents the financial 
condition of the Institution as at June 30, 1946.
