I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and ac- counts of the town of Andover for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1949, 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.

SIR:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Andover for the fiscal year ending De- cember 31, 1949, and report thereon as follows:
An examination and verification was made of the recorded financial transactions of the town as shown on the books of the departments receiving or disbursing money or committing bills for collection.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's record of receipts, while the recorded payments were checked with the treasury warrants and with the treasurer's records of disbursements.
47
The appropriations and transfers as recorded on the ledger were compared with the town clerk's record of financial votes passed at town meetings and with the records of the finance com- mittee.
The ledger was analyzed, a trial balance was drawn off proving the ledger to be in balance, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1949 was pre- pared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts in the town treasurer's office were examined and checked. The cash book was footed throughout, the receipts being analyzed and compared with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer, with other sources from which the town received money, and with the town accountant's books. The recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The cash balance on December 31, 1949 was verified by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town money is deposited and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The recorded payments on account of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The transactions of the several trust, investment, and retire- ment funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the treasur- ers of the John Cornell, Punchard Free School, and Memorial Hall Library funds were verified, and the securities and savings bank books representing the investment of these funds were ex- amined and listed.
The tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were listed from the records kept by the treasurer and all transactions per- taining thereto were verified and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The records of deductions from employees' salaries for federal taxes, for the purchase of savings bonds, and for Blue Cross and Blue Shield were examined 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 books and accounts in the tax collector's office were ex- amined and checked. The taxes, excise, and assessments out-
48
standing at the time of the previous audit and all subsequent commitments were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants. The cash receipts as posted in the commitment books were compared with the cash book record of collections, the abatements were compared with the assessors' record of abate- ments granted, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the control accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The town clerk's records of sporting, dog, and town licenses, as well as of permits, recording fees, etc., were examined and checked. The payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified by comparison with the receipts on file, and the payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treas- urer's cash book.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were ex- amined. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the abate- ments were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The books and accounts of the public works department were examined. The records of water and sewer charges were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements as recorded were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger accounts.
Verification of the outstanding tax, excise, assessment, de- partmental, and water accounts was made by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of cash receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, of the inspectors of buildings, wires, and plumbing, of the health, police, school, and library departments, and of all other departments wherein money is collected for the town were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer and the cash on hand being verified.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title,
49
departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and munici- pal contributory retirement funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for my- self, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts
