To the Minister Designate of Canadian Heritage

l have audited the balance sheet of the National Film Board as at March 31, 1995 and the staternents of operations, accurnulated deficit and accurnulated net charge against the Revolving Fund’s authority for the year then ended. These financial staternents are the responsibility of the Board’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial staternents based on my audit.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant esti- mates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presen- tation.

In rny opinion, these financial staternents present fairly. in al1 rnaterial respects, the finan- cial position of the Board as at March 31, 1995 and the results of its operations and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Further, in rny opinion, the transactions of the Board that have corne to my notice during rny audit of the financial staternents have, in al1 significant respects, been in accordance with the Financial Administration Act and regulations, the National Film Act and the by-laws of the Board. ++--
