; Management's statement of responsibility for financial statements &
The management of 'Ihe Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company is responsible for the consolidated financial state-ments which appear in this Annual Report. The statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
- accounting principles which are appropriate in the circumstances. These principles require that certain amounts must be recorded based on estimates. Such estimates are based on an analysis of the best information available regarding I h< the amount to be estimated.
We maintain a system of intemal accounting controls. The control procedures used are designed to assure that t our financial records are reasonably complete and accurate. They also are designed to help protect the assets and their rehted records. We make an effort to ensure that the costs of our control procedures do not exceed the benefits. l We have an intemal audit program which monitors the intemal accounting controls. This prognm is designed
- i. , to examine whether the controb are adequate and effective. Also, an examination of the hnancial statcments is conducted by Price Waterhouse, independent accountants, whose opinion appears below.
( The Board cf Directors of the Company is responsib;e for determining whether management and the independent i accountants are carrying out their responsibilities. The Board has established an Audit Comm;ttee comprised entirely of outside directors. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are described elsewhere in this Anr.ual Report. k i [.

{ 4j[aterhouse K To the Board of Directors and the Share Owners of i The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company: We have examined the consolidated balance sheet and the consolidated statement of capitalization of The f Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31,1981 and 1980, and the related (
+ consolidated statements of income, retained eamings, and changes in fumncial position for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1981. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
As more fully described in Note C to the financial statements, the method of copiputing depreciation for the 4' . Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station was changed in 1979.
- In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements examined by m present fairly the financial position of The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and its subsidiaries at Demnber 31,1981 and 1980, and the results of I[ their operations and the changes in their financial position for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1981,in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied during the period except
- for the change in the method of computing depreciation for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, with which we concur, referred to in the preceding paragraph.
