STATE AUDIT OF 1959
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. James L. Wood, Chairman Rutland, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Rutland for the period from August 25, 1957 to May 31, 1959, made in accordance with the pro- visions 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 yours , HERMAN B. DINE Director of Accounts
Mr. Herman B. Dine 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 Rutland for the period from August 25, 1957, the date of the previous audit, to May 31, 1959, 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 committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and veri- fied by comparison with the records of the town accountant and the town treasurer.
60
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were compared with the trea- surer's books and with the records in the several departments col- lecting money for the town; the payments, as entered, were checked with the treasurer's books and with the treasury warrants; while the appropriations, transfers, and loan authorizations were com- pared with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed by the town meetings and with the finance committee's authorizations of transfers from the reserve fund.
The ledger accounts were analyzed, the necessary adjustments resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial con- dition of the town on May 31, 1959.
The books and account of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book was footed and the recorded receipts were compared with the town accountant's books, with the depart- mental records of payments to the treasurer, and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The payments were checked with the warrants approved by the selectmen and with the accountant's books.
The treasurer's cash balance on May 31, 1959 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The records of payroll deductions for Federal and State taxes, for the county retirement system, and for Blue Cross and Blue Shield were examined, and the payments to the proper agencies were verified.
The maturing debt and interest payments were proved with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The securities and savings bank books representing investments of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were ex- amined and listed. The income was proved, and the balances were verified and compared with the town accountant's books.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts transferred to the
-
61
tax title account were proved with the collector's books, the re- ported redemptions were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The tax, excise, assessment, and water ac- counts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the trea- surer, as shown by the treasurer's and the accountant's books; the abatements, as entered, were compared with the assessors' and water departmental records of abatements granted; and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling ledger accounts .
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, and water accounts were further verified 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 deferred sewer assessments were examined. The payments in advance were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the amounts added to taxes were verified, and the ap- portionments due in future years were listed and proved with the ledger controls.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses issued, and from miscellaneous receipts, were verified and com- pared with the payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game .
The records of departmental cash collections by the Board of selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and the building and wire inspectors, as well as by the police, health, sewer, school, and library departments, and by all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined. The pay- ments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the trea- surer's and the accountant's books, and the cash on hand in the
62
several departments was proved by actual count.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them 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, departmental, and water accounts, together with schedules showing the trans- actions and condition of the trust funds.
For the cooperation received from the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assis- tants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, William Schwartz Assistant Director of Accounts
