File 15: P.S. Ross and Sons, Chartered Accountants - Reports on the Japanese Evacuation Section of the Custodian's Vancouver Office. 1943/10-1947/06.

This file contains a textual record.

This file consists of two reports made by chartered accountants P.S Ross & Sons. The first report is dated October 20, 1943, and the second is dated June 14, 1947. These reports, titled "Report on Examination Japanese Evacuation Section of the Custodian’s Office, Vancouver B.C.,” include an examination of the books of account and other records maintained by the Evacuee Section of the Vancouver Office. The report from 1943 covers the period of the office's "taking over of real property, securities, chattels, personal effects of persons of the Japanese race as they were evacuated up to July 31, 1943." The report from 1947 covers a period of almost five years, from the date of "evacuation" in early March 1942 to December 31, 1946. P.S Ross & Sons' summaries and statements are "largely confined to examining the accounting records and reviewing the system of internal control over the cash received and paid out by the Custodian’s office,” rather than providing valuation of assets taken over by the Custodian’s.
