Report of the Director of Accounts
March 18, 1954
To the Board of Selectmen: MR. J. EVERETT COLLINS, Chairman Andover, Massachusetts
GENTLEMEN :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Andover for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1953, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yorus, HERMAN B. DINE, Director of Accounts
Mr. Herman B. Dine 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 Decem- ber 31, 1953, 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 comparison with the records in the offices of the town accountant and the town treasurer.
42
1
The books and accounts of the town accountant were ex- amined and checked. The cash receipts as recorded were checked with the departmental records and with the trea- surer's books, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants and with the treasurer's records.
The ledger accounts were analyzed, the appropriation ac- counts were checked with the amounts voted by the town as shown on the town clerk's record of town meetings, the recorded transfers from the reserve fund were compared with the amounts authorized by the finance committee, while other accounts were checked with the records of the various departments in which the transactions originated.
A trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1953. An examination of this balance sheet indicates that the town is in good fi- nancial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and verified by comparison with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with the town accountant's books. The payments, as entered, were checked with the selectmen's warrants author- izing the disbursement of town funds and with the records of the town accountant.
The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on De- cember 31, 1953 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The reported payments on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the several trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees were personally examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions and balances were verified and checked with the books of the town accountant and, in the case of the
43
retirement funds, with the records of the retirement board.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records. The reported redemptions were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's books, the foreclosures were veri- fied, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were list- ed, proved, and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The poll, personal property and real estate taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and assessments out- standing according to the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitments, were varified and checked with the assessors' warrants for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The records of departmental and water accounts receiv- able were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the ac- countant's books, the abatements as entered were checked with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
It is recommended that prompt action be taken to obtain settlement of the delinquent water accounts.
Further verification of the outstanding tax and depart- mental accounts was made 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 records of apportioned and suspended assessments were examined and checked. The payments in advance were checked with the treasurer's books, the amounts apportioned and added to taxes were verified, and the assessments due in future years were listed and reconciled with the control ac- counts.
44
The records of departmental cash collections by the sealer of weights and measures, the inspector of buildings, wires, and plumbing, as well as by the police, fire, health, public works, school, library and cemetery departments, and of all other departments in which money was collected for the town, 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.
The surety bonds on file for the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, tax pos- session, departmental, and water accounts, as well as sche- dules showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
For the coorperation extended by all the town officials dur- ing the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM SCHWARTZ
