According to the state Board of Accounts, news- papers should expect those reports in February. The annual financial report output that will meet the requirement of the receipts and disbursement portion for IC 36-2-2-19 is called Cash & Investments Combined, according to the state Board of Accounts. Counties often use the 100R report for the total compensation paid to each of the county officers, deputies and employees. TOWNSHIPS Within four weeks after the third Tuesday following the first Monday in February (deadline - Tuesday, March 22), the township trustee is to publish an abstract of receipts and disbursements (IC 36-6- 4-13). To avoid squabbles over publication costs, township trustees and newspaper should note that budget lines with $0 amounts do not have to be included in the published report. This will serve to con- dense the size of the publica- tion.
