IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


September 16, 1949


To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Edwin H. Damon, 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 Decem- ber 20, 1947 to March 4, 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.


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:


In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the Town of Ipswich for the period from December 20, 1947, the date of the previous audit, to March 4, 1949, the following report being submitted thereon:


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.


65


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


The town accountant's ledger accounts were analyzed and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the treasurer's books, while the payments were compared with the treasury warrants approved by the selectmen. The appropriations and transfers, as entered, were checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund.


A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of March 4, 1949.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were exam- ined and checked. The cash book additions were verified, the recorded receipts were compared with the accountant's books, with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which money is paid into the town treasury. The recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse town funds and with the accountant's ledger.


The cash balance on March 4, 1949 was proved by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by examination of the savings bank book and securities making up a part of the cash balance, and by actual count of the cash in the office.


The payments on account of debt and interest were com- pared with the amounts falling due and by checking with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The outstanding coupons were listed and reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank in which such funds are deposited.


The tax titles held by the town were listed from the records of the treasurer and all transactions pertaining thereto were verified, including a comparison with the records at the Regis- try of Deeds.


66


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


The transactions of the several trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer, the treasurer of the library trustees, and the treasurer of the Manning School Fund were verified, the securities and savings bank books representing the investment of these funds were listed and the cash balances were reconciled.


The records of payroll deductions on account of federal taxes, the county retirement fund, and the Massachusetts Hos- pital Service, Inc., were examined and proved to the accoun- tant's ledger controls.


The assessors' warrants for the commitment of taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessments, and water liens were checked with the detailed lists. The assessors' records of abate- ments granted were reconciled with the collector's books and the accountant's ledger.


The books and accounts of the town collector were exam- ined and checked. The poll and property taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and assessments outstanding according to the previous audit, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and checked to the warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were checked to th treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the amounts trans- ferred to the tax title account were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.


The commitments of departmental, municipal light, and water charges were examined and checked. The collections as recorded were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements and discounts were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.


The outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assess- ment, departmental, municipal light, and water accounts were verified by mailing notices to a large number of persons whose


67


IPSWICH TOWN REPORT


names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


It is urged that prompt action be taken to secure settle- ment of the overdue tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and departmental accounts.


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 checked to the treasurer's cash book.


The surety bonds of the officials required by law to fur- nish them were examined and found to be in proper form.


The records of licenses and permits issued by the select- ment and the health department were examined and checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were verified.


The records of receipts of the sealer of weights and measures and of the town weigher, of the police, school, and cemetery departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town, were examined and checked. The pay- ments to the treasurer were verified and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.


There are appended to this report, in addition to the bal- ance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, municipal light, and water accounts, as well as tables relative to the trust and investment funds.


For the co-operation extended by all the city 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
