THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts

To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Peter J. Feeney, Chairman Norwood, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Norwood for the period from January 1, 1931 to November 30, 1932, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of this Division.


Very truly yours,


THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts


Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts


Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston


Sir:


As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Norwood for the period from January 1, 1931 to November 30, 1932, and submit the following report thereon:


The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, were examined and reconciled with the books and records in the town account- ant's office.


The books and accounts in the accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The records of receipts were compared with the de- partmental reports to the accountant and with the treasurer's books, and the recorded disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants and with the records of payments in the treasurer's office.


The appropriation accounts were examined, and all appropriations and loan orders were compared with the town clerk's records of town meetings.


The necessary correcting and adjusting entries were given to the ac- countant for adjustment of the ledger accounts, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of November 30, 1932.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and


158


checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with the records in the accountant's office. The payments were checked with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the accountant's ledger accounts, the cash book was footed, the cash on hand was verified by an actual count, and the bank balances were rec- onciled with statements furnished by the banks.
