Accounts.

91. The Directors shall cause true and complete accounts to be kept:—

1	Of the real and personal property and securities of the Company.
2	Of the sums of money received and expended by the Company, and the matter in respect of which such receipt and expenditure takes place.
3	Of the credits and liabilities of the Company. Such accounts shall be kept upon the principle of double entry in such books as may be necessary. The books of accounts shall be kept at the registered office of the Company, but the same shall be open for inspection only to the Directors of the Company, and to any person or persons authorised by them, and to the Auditors of the Company.

92. Once at the least in every year after the first year, the Board shall lay before the Company in general meeting a statement of the income and expenditure for the past year, made up to a date not more than three months before such meeting.

93. The statement so made shall show, arranged under the most convenient heads, the amount of gross income, distinguishing the several sources from which it has been derived, and the amount of gross expenditure, distinguishing the expenses of the establishment, salaries of Officers, and other like matters. Every item of expenditure fairly chargeable against the year's income shall be brought into account so that a just balance of profit and loss may be laid before the meeting, and in case where any item of expenditure which may in fairness be distributed over several years has been incurred in anyone year, the whole amount of such item shall be stated, with the addition of the reasons, why only a portion of such expenditure is charged against the income of the year.
