Made in Accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts


State House, Boston February 18, 1946


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 accounts of the town of Norwood for the period from September 21, 1944 to October 27, 1945, 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 Accounts.


Very truly yours,


THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts.


TNW:N


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 September 21, 1944 to October 27, 1945, and report thereon as follows:


The financial transactions, as shown on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked with the records in the offices of the town treasurer and the town accountant.


The books and accounts in the office of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection and with the town treasurer's cash book. The records of disbursements were checked with the town treasurer's cash book. The records of disbursements were checked with the town treasurer's books and with the treasury warrants approved by the selectmen.


310


TOWN OF NORWOOD


The general and appropriation ledgers were analyzed, and the appropriations as recorded were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings. A trial balance was taken off, the necessary adjusting entries were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on October 27, 1945.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were compared with the records in the various departments in which money was collected for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The disbursements were checked with the town accountant's books and with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds.


The treasurer's cash balance on October 27, 1945 was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.


The payments on account of debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.


The savings bank books and the securities representing the investment of the trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The cash balances were reconciled with the statements furn- ished by the banks of deposit, the income was proved, and the disbursements were compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.


The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The · amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's rec- ords, the recorded redemptions, foreclosures, and disclaimers were checked, and the tax titles on hand were listed, proved, and compared with the records in the Registry of Deeds.


The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The tax, assessment, departmental, municipal light, and water accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitments, were checked with the warrants for their collection.


The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer; the abatements and discounts were checked to the records in the departments authorized to grant them; the taxes, assessments, and water liens transferred to the tax title account were reconciled with the records of tax titles held by the town; and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.


The outstanding tax, assessment, departmental, municipal light, and water accounts were verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto in- dicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The re- ceipts on account of licenses, permits, and recording fees were checked with the re- corded payments to the town treasurer.


The surety bonds furnished by the several officials required to file such bonds were examined and found to be in proper form.


The records of receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the health, school, library, and cemetery departments, as well as of all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked, and the pay- ments to the town treasurer were verified.


311


REPORT OF STATE AUDITOR


In addition to the balance sheet mentioned, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, assess- ment, tax title, departmental, municipal light, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.


For the co-operation extended by all town officials during 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.
