Annual Statements are audited and then presented to council where they are certified as correct by the Shire President/Mayor, the Town Clerk and the Treasurer.

"....an account of all accounts made, contracts entered into, moneys received and moneys paid by the council during the preceding year, and of all assets and liabilities of the municipality..."

The following sections of the same legislation further directed that auditing be carried out on such documents soon after their completion and that auditor's signatures be affixed to the aforesaid documents to prove their validity.
