This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant 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 Braintree for the period from January 1, 1944, to June 30, 1945, and report thereon as follows:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the va- rious departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the books of the accountant and the treasurer.
The books and accounts in the office of the town accountant were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded on the ledger, were checked with the records of the various departments making pay- ments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's books, while the pay- ments were checked with the treasury warrants signed by the select- men and with the treasurer's cash book. The appropriations and transfers from the reserve fund were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the authorizations of the finance committee.
The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, and balance sheets, which are appended to this report, were prepared showing the finan- cial condition of the town on December 31, 1944, and June 30, 1945. These balance sheets indicate that the financial condition of the town is excellent.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the records in the departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash balance on June 30, 1945, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by veri- fication of the cash in the office, by inspection of the savings bank books, and by examination of the securities.
The payments of maturing debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled bonds and coupons on file. The bond and coupon account was reconciled and the out- standing coupons were listed.
The securities and savings bank books representing the invest- ment of the trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the treasurer and the treasurer of the library trustees were ex- amined and listed, the income being proved and the transfers to the town, as well as the disbursements, being verified.
The deductions from employees for federal taxes were listed and reconciled with the amount due and paid to the federal government.
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, the tax titles redeemed were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes and assessments outstanding at the time of the
197
previous examination, and all subsequent commitments, were audited and checked with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the transfers to the tax title account were checked, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.
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 proved.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked in detail. The recorded payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were veri- fied, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The financial accounts of the town clerk were examined. The records of dog and sporting licenses were checked, the payments to the State being compared with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer'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 licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, the building inspector, and the health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were verified.
The books and accounts of the electric light department were examined. A list of the outstanding accounts was drawn off from the consumers' ledger cards and reconciled with the controlling ac- counts kept by the department and the town accountant. The col- lections as recorded were compared with the payments to the treas- urer and the abatements and discounts were verified.
The records of guarantee deposits for electric light services were examined, the refunds were verified, and the deposits on hand were listed and'reconciled with the ledger accounts of the electric light department.
The records of water charges were examined. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were. listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding tax, assess- ment, departmental, electric 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 collection were examined and checked in detail.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheets, are tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash accounts, sum- maries of the tax, assessment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, electric light, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the con- dition and transactions of the various trust, investment and retire- ment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, co-operation was received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, HERBERT B. DINE Assistant Director of Accounts
