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 Randolph for the period from January 1, 1946 to February 8, 1947, and, in addi- tion, have made an examination of the tax collector's ac- counts for the period from February 9 to March 13, 1947, preparatory to a recommitment of taxes to a new collector, the following report being submitted thereon :


92


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the records of the town accountant.


The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's records and with the records of other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, while the recorded payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants to the treasurer. The appropriations, as listed from the town clerk's record of town meeting proceedings, were checked with the ledger accounts.


The ledger accounts were analyzed, the necessary adjusting entries were made, a trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1946.


Overlay deficits aggregating $3,240.90, as shown on the balance sheet, should be raised by the assessors in accordance with the provisions of Section 23, Chapter 59, General Laws.


Attention is also called to Section 4, Chapter 40, Gen- eral Laws, which provides that contracts for the furnish- ing of transportation to school children may be made for periods not exceeding three years.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book footings were proved and the recorded receipts were analyzed and com- pared with the town accountant's books, with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer, and with other sources from whcih money was paid to the


93

town. The payments as recorded were checked with the warrants isued by the selectmen authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds.


The cash balance on February 8, 1947 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements fur- nished by the banks in which town funds are deposited and by verification of the cash in the office.


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


The securities and savings bank books representing the investment of the trust funds in custody of the town treasurer, the treasurer of the trustees of the Stetson School Funds, and the treasurer of the trustees of the Turner Library Funds, were examined and listed, the in- come being proved and the disbur ements verified.


The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the tax titles redeemed and the tax titles and tax possessions sold were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, the fore- closures and disclaimers were verified, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The taxes outstanding at the time of the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and compared with the as- sessor's warrants issued for their collection. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treas- urer as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, the abate-

ments were checked with the assessor's records of abate- ments granted, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were compared with the treasurer's records, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The total amounts outstanding on each of the tax levies were given to the board of assessors for use in pre- paring the recommitments, and detailed lists of all the outstanding taxes were prepared for the new collector.


The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked in detail. The recorded payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were verified, and the outs.anding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The books and accounts of the water department were examined and checked. The commitments were proved and compared with the water commissioners' warrants issued for their collection, the collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the recorded abate- ments were checked to the water commissioners' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


The outstanding tax, departmental, and water ac- counts were verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it ap- pears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


The records of licenses and permits issued by the se- lectmen and by the police and health departments were examined, and the payments to the treasurer were veri- fied.


95


ONE HUNDRED AND TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT


The town clerk's records of dog licenses issued for the county and of sporting licenses issued for the State were examined, and the recorded payments to the State and to the town treasurer were verified.


The surety bonds filed by the officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


In addition to the departments and accounts men- tioned; the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and verified.


Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasur- er's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, tax possessions, departmental, and water accounts, together with tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust funds.


For the cooperation extended by the several 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
