2021 Financial Statements
Matthew Betik, Partner and Auditor at KPMG LLP presented the 2021 Financial Statements at the June Council Meeting.

The Financial Statements showed good indicators of increasing reserves and decreasing debt and a leveling out of taxation. Mulmur’s debt levels are relatively low and no adjusting entries were required.

Approximately 54% of the Township’s assets are halfway through their lifespan. The Township is currently updating its asset management plan to show where more money is required to be saved.
