Ever wonder what those auditor
reports at the end of financial state-
ments mean? There’s a new booklet
which explains how to read them.
The 28-page booklet, “A User’s
Guide to Understanding Audits and
Auditor’s Reports,” is published by
the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants.
As a safeguard to investors, the
federal government requires that
CPAs audit financial statements of
publicly owned companies. Most
non-public companies are also
audited to satisfy bank credit
requirements.
Copies of A User's Guide to
Understanding Audits and Auditor’s
Reports are available from the
Pennsylvania Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, 1100 Lewis

industry in Northeast Pennsylvania.
Since the local PSU campus began
its service to the community in 1916,
Penn State’s prime interest has
been to educate.
Dr. Ryan pointed out the unique
two-year Associate Degree program
that has been instituted at the col-
lege. According to Dr. Ryan,
approximately 130 students gradu-
‘ate from the program annually,
| with almost all of them receiving
job placements in their field.
The Lehman Campus of Penn
State is quite small in manpower,
compared to College Misericordia,
yet its financial support to the
community has been substantially
equal.
There are 97 employees on the
annual $2,000,000 payroll at Penn
State/Wilkes-Barre. The students
spend approximately $215,000 a year
in the area. While in the past 15
years they have spent $5,500,000 on
new construction and renovations,
Dr. Ryan estimated that by 1986,
another $6 million will be spent.
Dr. Ryan also noted that the
quality of education in an area has
a great impact on business’ decision,
to move to that area. He feels Penn
State helps a great deal with this.
In closing, Dr. Ryan said, “To
know is important, and we are part
of that.”

Who gets money
from licenses?
A question frequently put to-mem-
bers of the Pennsylvania Fish Com-
mission is a relatively simple one -
“Where does all the license money
go?” 0)
Most of the anglers who are
required to fork out $12 for a
resident fishing license realize that
the stocking of trout, musky, wal-
.leye and a variety of other species
is expensive. And most realize that
law enforcement requires money to
operate. Administration costs must
also be tacked on, and of course
someone has to feed the fish and
clean the raceways. But few sports-
men realize the extent of the Fish
Commission’s land holding and leas-
ing program.
Take river access areas for exam-
ple. The Commission owns 72 such
accesses statewide and leases
another 40, all paid for by fishing
licenses and boat registrations and
certain federal monies. The Com-
mission also owns 53 lakes and
leases nine more, it owns 14 access
points on lakes, and leases nine, it
owns 22 stream access sites and
leases four. It also leases 11 reser-
voirs.
