REPORT OF AN AUDIT


OF


THE ACCOUNTS OF


THE TOWN OF NORWOOD


FOR THE PERIOD FROM OCTOBER 24, 1937 TO SEPTEMBER 16, 1939 Made in Accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws


February 7, 1940


To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Charles E. Houghton, Chairman Norwood, Massachusetts


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and ac- counts of the town of Norwood for the period from October 24, 1937 to September 16, 1939, made in accordance with the provi- sions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Ac- counts.


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 ac- counts of the town of Norwood for the period from October 24, 1937, the date of the previous audit, to September 16, 1939, and submit the following report thereon:


178


The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the sev- eral departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked for the period covered by the audit.


The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined, checked and compared with the records of the several departments in which money is collected or bills are committed for collection, and with the records of the town treasurer.


The general and the appropriation ledgers were analyzed. The appropriations, loan authorizations and transfers were compared with the town clerk's record of financial votes passed in town meetings and other accounts were checked with the information in the departments in which the transactions originated. A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and after the necessary adjustments resulting from the audit were made, a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on September 16, 1939, was prepared and is appended to this report.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer and collector of taxes, as treasurer, were examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed throughout, the recorded receipts were an- alyzed and compared with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the records of disbursements were compared with the accountant's books and with the treasury warrants.


The cash balance on September 16, 1939, was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by a reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town money is deposited.


The payments on account of debt and interest were verified by a comparison with the amounts falling due. The cancelled bonds and coupons on file were checked, the outstanding coupons being listed and found to agree with the amount on deposit for payment thereof.


The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ments of the trust, investment, and retirement funds, in the cus- tody of the town treasurer, were personally examined and listed, the income being proved and the disbursements being verified.


The records of tax titles held by the town were examined, checked, and compared with the deeds on file, and all tax title transactions, including takings, additions, redemptions and fore- closures, were examined and checked with the books of the treas- urer and collector.


Appended to this report are schedules showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash together with summaries of the trust, in- vestment, tax title, and tax title possessions accounts.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer and collector of


179


taxes, as collector of taxes, were examined and checked in detail. The taxes and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination were audited and all subsequent commitments of poll, property, and motor vehicle excise taxes and of special assess- ments were analyzed and compared with the assessors' warrants, while the commitments of departmental accounts, including elec- tric light and water accounts, were compared with the amounts reported to the town accountant. The collections as posted on the commitment books were compared with the cash book collections, which were analyzed, and with the recorded payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's cash books. The abatement of taxes and assessments as entered were checked with the as- sessors' record of abatements granted, and abatements of depart- mental accounts were checked with the departmental authoriza- tions therefor. The outstanding taxes and assessments and de- partmental accounts were listed and proved with the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.


The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


Appended to this report are summaries of the tax and assess- ment accounts.


The records of the town clerk of receipts on account of dog licenses issued on behalf of the county, of sporting licenses the proceeds of which are paid to the State, as well as from marriage intentions and recording fees which are paid into the town treas- ury, were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's cash books. The town clerk's cash balance was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.


The selectmen's records of licenses and permits issued were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts therefor were checked with the treasurer's cash books and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger. It is recom- mended that no licenses be issued until receipt of the fee.


The financial records of the police department were examined and checked. The commitments on account of ambulance hire, etc., were analyzed, the recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's cash books and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The receipts of the sealer of weights and measures were ex- amined and checked with the records of work done. The collections were checked and the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books. The cash on hand was verified by actual count.


The commitments on account of health and sanitation charges were analyzed and proved. The recorded receipts were verified and the payments to the treasurer were checked.


180


The recorded charges on account of highways were examined and compared with the commitments which were analyzed. The receipts, as recorded, were verified, the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.


The commitments of public welfare and old age assistance charges were compared with the records of the department. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's cash books and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The records of the school department on account of miscellane- ous receipts and the school lunch room were examined and checked in detail, the payments to the treasurer being verified and the petty cash advance of the school department being proved.


The books and records of the librarian showing receipts of fines, etc., were checked for the period of the audit being com- pared with the recorded payments to the treasurer. The cash on hand was verified by actual count.


The books and records of the water department were examined and checked. The commitments were verified, the recorded re- ceipts were compared with the treasurer's cash book and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.


In checking the water accounts it was noted that commitments are not reported promptly and that neither the collector nor the accountant is duly informed of adjustments and abatements, the records of which are not systematically filed in the water depart- ment office. It is recommended that the proper officials be in- formed without delay of amounts committed and abated and of all adjustments made in connection with the billing and collec- tion of water charges.


The books and accounts of the municipal light department were examined and checked. The commitments were proved, the re- corded receipts were compared with the treasurer's cash books, the abatements and allowances were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger. The records of guarantee deposits on account of electric light service, including the receipts and disbursements, were checked in detail and verified, and the deposits on hand were listed and proved.


In auditing the electric light accounts similar conditions as those described in connection with the water department were noted, and similar recommendations are made pertaining to the prompt reporting of commitments, allowances, abatements, and adjustments.


The records of receipts from sewer and water guarantee de- posits were examined and checked to the treasurer's books, the refunds of deposits being compared with the treasury warrants and the deposits on hand being listed and proved with the ac-

countant's ledger. The records used and the procedure followed in the handling of these deposits were found to be inadequate, and it was necessary to devote a considerable amount of time to properly audit the accounts.


A detailed list of the deposits on hand as of the audit date has been prepared for the accountant, with suggestions for carrying on and recording transactions in a convenient and adequate man- ner.


The books and records of the cemetery department were exam- ined and checked in detail. The commitments were analyzed, the abatements were checked, the recorded receipts were compared with the payments to the treasurer and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The examination of the cemetery accounts showed outstanding accounts on the audit date amounting to $23,076.30. This total includes many accounts which are several years old and which should be satisfied as promptly as possible either by collection or by abatement, if the accounts are found to be uncollectible.


During the process of the audit it was noted that departments other than the cemetery, such as the selectmen's department for licenses, and the police, health, highway, and electric light de- partments have accumulated large amounts of accounts receivable many items of which have been long outstanding. It is recom- mended that these accounts be investigated and collected, if col- lection is possible, but if they are found to be uncollectible, the accounts should be abated or written off.


It would appear that no credit should have been extended for some of the accounts outstanding, such as licenses and personal telephone calls of town employees for which cash payments should have been required.


The surety bonds on file for the several officials required by law to furnish them were examined and were found to be in proper form.


For the cooperation extended by the various town officials dur- ing the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


HERMAN B. DINE


Assistant Director of Accounts
