We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of The Corporation of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2013, the consolidated statements of operations and accumulated surplus, change in net debt and cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Corporation of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville as at December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards.

i. Accrual accounting
Revenue and expenses are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. The accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues as they become available and measurable. Expenditures are recognized as they are incurred and measurable as a result of receipt of goods or services and the creation of a legal obligation to pay.
il. Government transfers
Government transfers are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when the transfer is authorized and any eligibility criteria have been met, except to the extent that the transfer stipulations give rise to an obligation that meets the definition of a liability. Transfers are recognized as deferred revenue when transfer stipulations give rise to a liability. Transfer revenue is recognized in the statement of operations as the stipulation liabilities are settled.
iii. Deferred revenue- Obligatory reserve funds
Funds received for specific purposes which are externally restricted by legislation, regulation or agreement and are not available for general municipal purposes are accounted for as deferred revenue on the consolidated statement of financial position. The revenue is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the year in which it is used for the specified purpose.

The Corporation of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2013
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) v. Investment income
Investment income earned is reported as revenue in the period earned. Investment income earned on obligatory reserves, such as development charges and parkland allowances, is added to the associated funds and forms part of the respective deferred revenue.
vi. Non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations.
(a) Tangible capital assets
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. The cost, less residual value of the tangible capital assets, excluding land, are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Useful life - years Environmental infrastructure 20-80
Facilities 7-60
Land improvements 15-30
Machinery and equipment 3-30
Transportation infrastructure 7-50
Vehicles 5-25
Tangible capital assets under construction are recorded at cost and are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use. No amortization is charged in the year of acquisition.
(b) Contributions of tangible capital assets
Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt with a corresponding amount recorded as revenue. Tangible capital assets conveyed from developers are recorded at the estimated engineering value at time of registration.
vii. Employee benefits
The present value of the cost of providing employees with future benefit programs is expensed as employees earn these entitlements through service. Vacation entitlements are accru~d for as entitlements are earned.
viii. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The principal estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements are employee benefits payable, estimated useful life of tangible capital assets and valuation of tangible capital assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

December 31, 2013
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) viii. Use of estimates (continued)
In particular, management's estimate for the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB) Self
Insured Obligation (Note 8) is subject to measurement uncertainty. The estimate is based on assumptions and calculations contained in an actuary's report from WSIB. Actual results could differ from those estimates because of the uncertainty related to future medical outcomes, cost estimates, claims and settlements, etc.
ix. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash on hand, cash held in financial institutions and temporary investments with maturities ofone year or less.
x. Inventories
Inventories of land held for resale are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Inventory of goods and supplies are priced at average cost on first-in, first-out basis.
xi. Portfolio investments
Portfolio investments are comprised of amounts invested in mutual funds. Portfolio investments are valued at cost.
Revenue Recognition i. User fees
User fees and other revenues are reported on an accrual basis.
ii. Development charges
Developer contributions and fees for services are recognized over the period of service or when required expenses occur if applicable.
iii. Government grants
Conditional grant revenue is recognized to the extent the conditions imposed on it have been fulfilled. Unconditional grant revenue is recognized when monies are receivable.
iv. Taxation and related revenues
Property tax billings are prepared by the Town based on assessment rolls issued by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC). Tax rates are established by the Town Council, incorporating amounts to be raised for local services and amounts the Town is required to collect on behalf of the Province of Ontario and the Region of York in respect of education taxes and regional services respectively. The legislation limits increases in property tax bills to a maximum of 10% annually for commercial, industrial and multi-residential classes of property until the affected properties are taxed at a level equivalent to the tax otherwise calculated based on their current assessed value. A normal part of the assessment process is the issue of supplementary rolls which provide updated information with respect to changes in property assessment. Once a supplementary assessment roll is received, the Town determines the taxes applicable and renders supplementary tax billings. In accordance with PS 3510-Tax Revenue, taxation revenues are estimated and recorded at the effective date of the new assessment.
Assessments and related property taxes are subject to appeal. Tax adjustments as a result of appeals are estimated and recorded when the appeal is submitted. The Town is entitled to collect interest and penalties on overdue taxes. These revenues are recorded in the period the interest and penalties are earned.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Pension plans
The Town is an employer member of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), which is a multi-employer, defined benefit pension plan. The Board of Trustees, representing plan members and employers, are responsible for overseeing the management of the pension plan, including investment of assets and administration of the benefits. The Town has adopted defined contribution plan accounting principles for this Plan because insufficient information is available to apply defined benefit plan accounting principles.

3. Change in Accounting Policy
On January 1, 2013, the Town adopted the new requirements of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada related to section PS 2400- Subsequent Events, PS 3410- Government Transfers and PS 3510-Taxation Revenue. Section PS 2400 clarifies the meaning of the date of completion of financial statements. Section PS 3410 establishes further standards on how to account for and report government transfers.

8. Employee benefits payable (continued) Post retirement benefits
The Town provides life insurance and healthcare benefits to certain employee groups after retirement until the members reach 65 years of age. Management estimated the future liability as at December 31 , 2013 based on the current employees eligible for this benefit. The amount of benefits paid during the year was $4,333 (2012 - $3,031)
Severance
In 2002, Council approved By-law 2002-91-EM regarding Councils' remuneration. Part of the remuneration package includes eligibility of all Councilors to receive a severance payment of one month salary per year of continuous service to a maximum payment of 6 months should they not be re-elected.
Management estimated the liability based on service and salary levels as at December 31 , 2013 and reserves are set aside for this purpose.
Workplace Safety and Insurance Board
The Town is a Schedule 2 employer under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act and, as such, assumed responsibility for financing its workplace safety insurance costs. The accrued obligation at December 31, 2013 represents an estimate of claims to be insured based on the history of claims with Town employees. A Workers' Compensation reserve has been established to help reduce the future impact of these obligations. As at December 31, 2013 the balance in the Workers' Compensation reserve was $500,000 (2012- $500,000) and is included as part of the reserve funds (Note 11 ).
The amount of benefits paid during the year was $ 4,078 (2012 - $2,231 ).
9. Pension agreement
OMERS provide pension services to more than 439,528 active and retired members and approximately 982 employers. Each year an independent actuary determines the funding status of OMERS Primary Pension Plan (the Plan) by comparing the actuarial value of invested assets to the estimated present value of all pension benefits that members have earned to date. The most recent actuarial valuation of the Plan was conducted at December 31, 2013. The results of this valuation disclosed total actuarial liabilities of $73,004 million in respect of benefits accrued for service with actuarial assets at that date of
$64,363 million indicating an actuarial deficit of $8,641 million. Because OMERS is a multi-employer plan, any pension plan surpluses or deficits are a joint responsibility of Ontario municipal organizations and their employees. As a result, the municipality does not recognize any share of the OMERS pension surplus or deficit. Contributions made by the Town for OMERS for 2013 were $1 ,297,112 (2012
$1,123,813).

Outside insurance coverage is in place for claims in excess of $5,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000 per claim occurrence.

17
The Corporation of the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31 , 2013
16. Contingent liabilities
No legal actions or claims have been instituted against the Town. It is management's opinion that there is no significant uninsured liability. Accordingly, no provision has been made in the accounts for any amount claimed.
17. Budget
The Budget adopted on April 9, 2013 by the Town for 2013 was not prepared on a basis consistent with that used to report actual results (Canadian public sector accounting standards). The budget was prepared on a modified accrual basis while Canadian public sector accounting standards now require a full accrual basis. The budget figures anticipated the use of surpluses accumulated in previous years to offset current year expenditures in excess of current year revenues such that the net budget was $NIL. In addition, the budget expensed all tangible capital expenditures rather than including amortization expense. As a result, the budget figures presented in the statements of operations and change in net financial assets represent the budget adopted by the Town for 2013 with adjustments as follows:
Budgeted surplus for the year, as approved Add:
Less:
Capital expenses Principal repayments
Budgeted inter-fund transfers Amortization
$
13,023,333 1,904,311 2,714,818 9.095,989 Budgeted surplus for the year, per statement of operations $ 3.116,837
18. Comparative Figures
The comparative figures presented are for the year ended December 31, 2012. Certain of the 2012 comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the financial presentation adopted in 2013.
