August 8, 1974

In the September, 1974 newsletter, Inna thanked Milo Johnson, CPA for again auditing the SPVA’s books. He had provided the Association with a Statement of Cash Receipts and Disbursements, along with a cover letter on letterhead from James and Harris CPA firm, signed “James and Harris”. Inna photocopied the statement and cover letter at reduced size and pasted them side-by-side on page two of the SPVA newsletter for all members to see.

The cover letter was a standard form letter:

We have examined the statement of cash receipts and disbursements of the South Ponte Vedra Association for the year ended May 31, 1974. Our examination was made In accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement presents fairly the cash receipts and cash disbursements of the South Ponte Vedra Association for the year ended May 31, 1974.

(James and Harris CPA 8/8/1974)

The Statement of Cash Receipts and Disbursements totaled the $1,002 income and $980 expenses by category, leaving $1,054 in the account at Sun Bank as of 5/31/1974.
