MANAGEMENT'S REPORT
The accompanying financial statements of Yellow Pages Income Fund and all information in this annual report are the responsibility of management and have been approved by the Board of Directors. The financial statements are based upon management's best estimates and judgements and have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. Financial information used elsewhere in the annual report is consistent with that in the financial statements.
To ensure the integrity and objectivity of the data, management maintains internal accounting controls and established policies and procedures designed to ensure reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded and executed in accordance with its authorization, that assets are properly safeguarded and that reliable financial records are maintained. The internal control systems and financial records are subject to review by the external auditors during the examination of the financial statements.
The responsibility of the Board of Directors is pursued principally through the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, which is composed exclusively of outside directors, meets regularly with the external auditors and with management, to discuss accounting policies and practices, internal control systems, the scope of audit word and to assess reports on audit work performed. The external auditors have direct access to the Audit Committee, with or without the presence of management, to discuss results of their audits and any recommendations they have for improvements in internal controls, the quality of financial reporting and any other matters of interest. The financial statements have been reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Audit Committee.
