I certify that the accounts of the Commissioner and Trustees of the Teachers' Pensions
Fund for the year ended December 31st, 1959, have been examined under my direction.
The liabilities in respect of Employees' Retirement Annuity Account and Employers' Service Pensions Account are stated at book value. Under the terms of section 36 (1) of the
Teachers' Pensions Act, 1940, chapter 334, R.S.B.C. 1948, an actuarial valuation of these liabilities was made as at December 31st, 1955, showing a surplus on Service Pensions Account.
Subject to the foregoing remarks, I certify that the above balance-sheet is, in my opinion,
properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct statement of the affairs of the Fund
according to the best of my information and the explanations given to me and as shown by the
books of the Fund.
