IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
March 17, 1948
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Brainard C. Wallace, Chairman
Ipswich, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Ipswich for the period from January 18, 1947 to December 19, 1947, 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:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Ipswich for the period from January 18, 1947, the date of the previous examination, to December 19, 1947, and submit the following report thereon :
74
IPSWICH TOWN REPORT
The financial transactions of the town as recorded on the books of the several departments were examined, checked, and compared with the records of the town treas- urer and the town accountant.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The cash receipts as recorded were checked with the departmental records and with the treas- urer's books, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
The ledger was analyzed, the appropriation accounts were checked with the amounts voted by the town as shown on the town clerk's record of town meetings, and the trans- fers from the reserve fund were compared with the amounts authorized by the finance committee.
A trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the finan- cial condition of the town on December 19, 1947.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined 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 recorded pay- ments were checked with the approved warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on December 19, 1947 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements fur- nished by the banks of deposit, by examination of the securities and savings bank book making up a part of the cash, and by actual count of the cash in the office.
