Auditor General's Report

The above Balance-sheet and Profit and Loss Appropriation Statement have been examined and are in agreement with the accounts and records as shown in the books of the Head Office and the certified returns from Branches and Agencies. In my opinion the statements show fairly the financial operations of the Bank during the year ended 30th June, 1966, and the state of affairs as at that date.
