            <abstract label="Abstract:">Periodic reports on the examination of the financial affairs
                of Minnesota townships by the state auditor. The reports contain comments and
                recommendations regarding fiscal procedures; summaries of financial conditions;
                balance sheets and supporting statements; classifications of receipts and
                disbursements; notes to financial statements; and related data. The reports were
                done only selectively, often at the township’s request. For some years, financial
                statements or independent audit reports are present instead. Some reports for
                1971-1972 were done by the State Auditor’s predecessor, the Public
                Examiner.</abstract>
