The annual consolidated financial report summarizes a number of reports prepared for Council on the performance of the municipality during the year.
Financial Reports
The Township of Perth South's accounting system operates within the legislative framework of the Municipal Act, 2001. While Perth South prepares a wide variety of financial reports that are mainly used for internal purposes, the legislation requires municipal governments to prepare two main reports annually, an Audited Financial Statement and a Financial Information Return (FIR).
Annual Consolidated Financial Report
The provincial legislation requires that municipalities provide the Minister of Municipal Affairs with an annual return containing information with respect to the financial affairs of the municipality. This financial information return, or FIR, is the main data collection tool used by the Ministry to collect municipal financial and statistical information. For more information on the FIR and to view prior year financial information returns for Perth South or any other Ontario municipality visit the provincial Financial Information Return website.
