Report of Director of Accounts
June 2, 1949
To the Board of Selectmen
MR. ROY E. HARDY, Chairman
Andover, Massachusetts
GENTLEMEN :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Andover for the fiscal year ending De- cember 31, 1948, 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, FRANCIS X. LANG, Director of Accounts
MR. FRANCIS X. LANG 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 Andover for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1948, and submit the following report thereon :
The records of financial transactions of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked in detail.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were compared with the treasurer's books and with the books and records of the departments in which charges originated or money was collected for the town. The records of disbursements were checked with the treasury warrants and with the books of the treasurer.
The appropriations and transfers from the reserve fund, as recorded on the town accountant's books, were checked to the town clerk's records of town meetings and to the records of the finance committee. The ledger accounts were analyzed, and a
35
balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1948, was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were compared with the town accountant's books, with the records of the several depart- ments collecting money for the town, and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The pay- ments were checked with the warrants of the selectmen authoriz- ing the disbursement of town funds.
The cash balance on January 15, 1949 was proved by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by verification of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ments of the trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the treasurer of the John Cornell, Punchard Free School, and Memorial Hall Library fund trustees were examined and listed. The income and disburse- ments were proved and the transfers to the town were verified by comparison with the treasurers' recorded receipts.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, proved, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The payroll deductions for federal taxes, for the purchase of savings bonds, and for Blue Cross and Blue Shield were exam- ined and checked. The payments to the Collector of Internal Revenue and for the purchase of bonds, as well as the payments to the Massachusetts Hospital Service, Inc., were verified.
The assessors' records of apportioned assessments not due were examined and checked. The apportionments added to taxes were verified, and the apportioned assessments not due were listed and reconciled with the deferred revenue accounts in the town accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes, excise, and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent
36
commitments, were audited and proved to the warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
The records of departmental and water accounts receivable were examined and checked. The recorded collections were com- pared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked with the records of the departments authorized to grant them, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the respective ledger accounts.
It is recommended that a determined effort be made to collect the overdue fire, health, highway, and water service accounts receivable, and, if they are found to be uncollectable, that they be written off.
Verification of the outstanding tax, excise, assessment, depart- mental and water accounts was 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.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined. The recorded receipts on account of dog, sporting, and town licenses were examined and checked in detail. The payments to the town treasurer were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the payments to the State were checked with the receipts on file from the Division of Fisheries and Game.
The surety bonds of the various town officials required by law to file them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of departmental cash collections by the sealer of weights and measures, the inspectors of buildings, wires, and plumbing, as well as by the police, fire, health, public works, school, library, and cemetery departments, were examined and checked. The payments to the town treasurer were verified and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession,
37
departmental, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
During the progress of the audit, cooperation was extended by the various town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts
