REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF NORWOOD
FOR THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 17, 1939, TO OCTOBER 22, 1940
Made in Accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws February 21, 1941
February 21, 1941
To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Harry B. Butters, 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 September 17, 1939 to October 22, 1940, made in accordance with the provisions 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
233
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts, Department of Corporations and Taxation, State House, Boston.
Sir:
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Norwood for the period from September 17, 1939, the date of the previous examination, to October 22, 1940, the following report being submitted thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and verified by a comparison with the books and records in the offices of the treas- urer and the town accountant.
The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were com- pared with the treasurer's books and with the records of the sev- eral departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection. The records of disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants and with the payments as shown by the treasurer's books.
The general ledger was analyzed for the period covered by the audit, trial balance was taken off proving the ledger to be in bal- ance, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on October 22, 1940, was prepared and is appended to this report.
