THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Dept. of Corporations and Taxation DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
September 4, 1920. To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Henry S. Baldwin, Chairman, Swamp- scott, Massachusetts.
GENTLEMEN, -I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from January I to June 30, 1920, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 598 of the Acts of 1910 and amendments thereof. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division, who was placed in charge of the work.
Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts.
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts, Department of Cor- porations and Taxation, State House, Boston:
SIR, - As directed by you, I have made an audit of the accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from January 1 to June 30, 1920, and submit the following report :
The records of financial transactions of the several departments were examined, and comparison was made with the reports to the accountant and with the books in the accountant's and treasurer's departments.
The surety bonds given by the department officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books in the accountant's office were examined and checked. The receipts of the treasurer, as reported by him, were proved. The payments were checked by comparing the approved bills and pay-rolls with the warrants and the treasurer's books:
The appropriation accounts were checked with the city clerk's records, the ledger was footed, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet was prepared.
The accounts are kept in an efficient manner, the financial transactions being shown in detail and in a classified form. The controlling accounts furnish information relative to the financial condition of the town at all times.
72
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
The books and accounts of the treasurer were examined and checked, The records of receipts were checked with the books of the several depart- ments collecting money for the town and with the accountant's books, and the disbursements were checked with the warrants authorizing the same and with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The cash on hand was verified by reconciling the bank accounts with the statements furnished by the several banks.
The debt and interest payments were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled bonds, notes and coupons on file. The bank deposits for the payment of debt and interest were verified with the bank statements, and coupons not presented as paid were listed.
The clerical work in keeping the records of this department has been careful and accurate, and the accounts were therefore easily verified.
The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined. The commitments of taxes and assessments were checked and verified; the receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer ; the abatements were checked with the assessors' records ; and the outstanding accounts were listed and compared with the accountant's books, and differences reconciled.
The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing verification notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town. As no replies were received claiming to have paid other than the amounts appearing on the books, I am satisfied that the accounts are correct.
The books and accounts of the water and sewerage board were examined and checked in detail. The commitments were added and proved, and the payments to the treasurer were checked with the treasurer's books and with the reports to the accountant. The outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's books.
The accounts have been well kept and were easily verified.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the accounts of the town clerk, sealer of weights and measures, and health department were examined and verified.
The securities of the several funds were not examined at this time, but will be reported upon at the end of the year.
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash and of the debt and interest coupon account, also sum- maries of the tax, assessment and water accounts, and a balance sheet as of June 30, 1920.
While engaged in making the audit, I received the usual co-operation from the several town officials, and I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express to them my appreciation of the assistance rendered.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD H. FENTON,
Chief Examiner.
