Report of Director of Accounts
February 25, 1937
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Howell F. Shepard, Chairman Andover, Massachusetts
GENTLEMEN :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and ac- counts of the town of Andover for the year ending December 31, 1936, 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
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 Andover for the year ending December 31, 1936, and submit the following report 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 of the town accountant and the treasurer.
The ledger accounts were analyzed. The appropriation accounts were checked with the appropriations and loan orders listed from the town clerk's record of town meetings and other accounts were compared with information in the departments in which the transactions originated.
-
33
A trial balance was taken off and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1936, was pre- pared and is appended to this report.
Approved vouchers and pay-rolls on file were examined and checked at random with the payments as entered in the classifica- tion book. The checking of the vouchers disclosed unpaid bills of the school department in the amount of $2,697.02 incurred in excess of the school department appropriation and represents a violation of the provisions of Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws.
The examination of the vouchers also disclosed the purchase of uniform coats for members of the fire department, although no record could be found to indicate that the town has accepted the provisions of Section 6B, Chapter 40, General Laws, which acceptance is necessary in order to authorize the purchase of uni- forms for members of the fire and police departments.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the town accountant's ledger and with the records of the departments collecting money for the town, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing them. The cash balance was proved by a reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The recorded payments for maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file, the outstanding coupons being listed and reconciled with the bank balances as shown by state- ments furnished by the banks of deposit.
The savings bank books representing the trust fund invest- ments in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income, withdrawals, and balances being found to be as reported.
The records of tax titles held by the town were checked with the deeds on file. The amounts added to the tax title account since the previous audit were compared with the collector's rec- ords, the recorded redemptions were verified, and the tax titles on hand were listed and proved.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The commitments of taxes and assessments were recon-
34
ciled with the assessors' warrants, the recorded collections were checked and compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abate- ments granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the town accountant's ledger. Verification of the out- standing accounts were obtained 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.
It was noted that no action has been taken to carry out the recommendation made in the previous audit report that action be taken to secure settlement of the unapportioned sewer assess- ments of 1926 and prior years amounting to $2,668.78.
The town clerk's records of sporting, dog, and town licenses were examined and checked. The payments to the State were verified by a comparison with the receipts on file, and the pay- ments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book.
The surety bonds of the several town officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of water charges were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer and the abatements were verified. The cash in the office was verified by actual count, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the several ledger accounts.
The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ments of the several school funds in the custody of the treasurer of the trustees, as well as of the Memorial Hall Library Funds in the custody of the library treasurer, were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions were verified. A $100 bond in which the Book Fund of the Punchard School Class of 1917 is invested was not examined, it having been transmitted to the Class treasurer for the purchase of a memorial.
In addition to the accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or submitting bills for collection were examined. The recorded charges were checked with the commitments, the payments to the treasurer were com- pared with the treasurer's books, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the ledger accounts.
35
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water ac- counts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the various trust funds.
For the co-operation 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
