MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
The accompanying financial statements of Islands Trust (the “Trust”) are the responsibility of the 
Trust's management and have been prepared in compliance with legislation, and in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting standards for local governments as established by the Public Sector 
Accounting Board of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. A summary of the significant 
accounting policies are described in note 1 to the financial statements. The preparation of financial 
statements necessarily involves the use of estimates based on management’s judgment, particularly 
when  transactions  affecting  the  current  accounting  period  cannot  be  finalized  with  certainty  until 
future periods. 
The Trust’s management maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable 
assurance  that  assets  are  safeguarded,  transactions  are  properly  authorized  and  recorded  in 
compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements, and reliable financial information is available 
on  a  timely  basis  for  preparation  of  the  financial  statements. These  systems  are  monitored  and 
evaluated by management. 
The Trust, acting through its Audit Committee, meets with management and the external auditors to 
review  the  financial  statements  and  discuss  any  significant  financial  reporting  or  internal  control 
matters prior to their approval of the financial statements.  
The financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent external auditors appointed 
by Trust Council. The accompanying Independent Auditors’ Report outlines their responsibilities, the 
scope of their examination and their opinion on the Trust’s financial statements.
