Dear Sirs, 



We beg to report having completed the Audit of the Books and Vouchers of the Society 

 for the year ended 31st December, 191 5, and have certified to the accompanying Statement of Receipts 

 and Disbursements as being in accordance therewith. 



With a few exceptions all vouchers have been sighted by us, and the production of those missing 

 is promised in due course. 



RECEIPTS. 

 The Receipts of the Society for the year 191 5, as set out in detail on the attached 



comparative Statement, amounted to £S7^> 1 1 7 8 



As compared with the year 1914 of 5794 10 5 



Showing a decrease of £32 12 9 



DISBURSEMENTS. 



The Expenditure for the year 191 5 totalled £$73 2 l 7 IO 



The Expenditure for the year 1914 totalled 6191 5 1 



Being a decrease of £458 7 3 



During the year 1914 the Disbursements were £396 14s. 8d. in excess of the Receipts, but in 191 5 

 there is a surplus of Receipts over Disbursements amounting to ^28 19s. iod., thereby reducing the 

 net overdraft to ^392 13s. iod. at 31st December, 191 5. This improvement in the net result of the 

 year's transactions as compared with that of 1914, is caused by the curtailment of various items of 

 expenditure.
