State House, Boston
Dear Sir:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Braintree for the fiscal year 1940, and report thereon as follows:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, or commit- ting bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by com- parison with the reports and the records in the office of the town accountant.
The ledger accounts were analyzed, the appropriations, loan au- thorizations, and transfers being checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings and with the records of the finance con- mittee. A trial balance was taken off, and balance sheets, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1940, and July 8, 1941, were prepared and are appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the treasury, while the payments were compared with the Selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book ad- ditions were verified, and the cash balance on July 8, 1941, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by actual count of the cash in the office, and by in- spection of the savings bank books.
The payments made for maturing debt and interest were compared with amounts falling due as well as with cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the trust and retirement fund investments in the custody of the town treasurer and 'he treasurer of the library trustees were examined and listed, the in- come being proved and the transfers to the town and the disbursements being verified.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records and the accountant's ledger, being further verified by comparison with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The assessors' records of apportioned assessments not due were examined and checked. The apportionments added to taxes 1940 and taxes 1941 were verified, and the apportioned assessments not due were listed and proved.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax and assessment accounts outstanding ac- cording to the previous examination were audited, and all subsequent commitments were compared with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the
88
recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' records, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked. The reported payments to the treasurer were com- pared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements and disallowances were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The financial accounts of the town clerk were examined for dog and sporting licenses issued, the payments to the State being verified with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the Selectmen, the building inspector, and health department were examined, the payments to the treasurer being checked with the treasurer's cash book.
The books and accounts of the electric light department were ex- amined and checked. A list of the outstanding consumer accounts was prepared and reconciled with the ledgers of the department and of the town accountant. The collections as recorded were compared with the payments of the town treasurer, the abatements and discounts were checked, and the deposit accounts were listed and proved.
The water department accounts were examined and checked. The collections as recorded were compared with the treasurer's cash receipts, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
Verification of the outstanding tax, assessment, departmental, elec- tric light, 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.
In addition to the accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for col- lection were examined and checked in detail.
The surety bonds of the various town officials required by law to file them were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheets, are tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, electric light, and water accounts, as well as table showing the condition and transactions of the trust and retirement funds.
For the cooperation extended by the various 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.
