Report of the Audit Committee.

St. Louis, April 4, 1911.

To the Reverend Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States,
care of the Secretary.

The undersigned members of the Audit Commission have, during the
past triennium, examined the books of the General Treasurer. We
found:

1. That all income from the various district treasurers had been
correctly entered. We also found entries of funds from other sources.

2. That for all expenditures made during this triennium, the
necessary vouchers were on hand.

3. That receipts were on hand from all the boards of supervision
for the expenditures they had made.

4. We satisfied ourselves of the correctness of the footings in the
Cash Book with the help of an adding machine. We also totaled up
the expenditures of the various boards of supervision ourselves and
thereby satisfied ourselves of the correctness of their reports to the
treasurer.

5. We further satisfied ourselves that Mr. J. F. Schuricht's
statement of February 1, 1911, agrees in every detail with the books.
We believe the Synod owes Mr. Schuricht thanks for the great effort
he takes to keep the books in so clear and orderly a manner that
auditing them is comparatively easy.

We did not concern ourselves with the books of the Concordia
Publishing House, since, by a resolution of the Synod, those books are
examined by professional auditors. We did, however, have the annual
reports of these professional auditors presented to us, and found that
these gentlemen naturally went about their work considerably more
thoroughly than would ever have been possible for us. Apart from a
few insignificant "clerical errors," which are absolutely unavoidable in
so large a business with so many clerks, they always found everything
in the best order.

Respectfully and obediently submitted to the Reverend Synod by the

Audit Committee:
William Schlake.
