THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Dept. of Corporations and Taxation DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS STATE HOUSE, BOSTON.
JANUARY 27, 1922.
To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Henry S. Baldwin, Chairman, Swampscott, Massachusetts :
GENTLEMEN,-I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from July I to December 31, 1921, made in accordance with the provisions of Section 35, Chapter 44 of the General Laws. 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 books and accounts of the town of Swampscott for the period from July I to Decem- ber 31, 1921, and submit the following report :
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked, the receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and with the records of departments collecting money for the town, and the pay- ments being checked with the treasurer's warrants authorizing payments and with his cash book. The ledger was analyzed and a balance sheet prepared showing the condition of the town on December 31, 1921, and the classification book was examined and checked to the ledger.
The books and accounts of the treasurer were examined, the reported receipts being compared with the records of the departments making pay- ments to the treasurer and with the accountant's books. The payments on account of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due, and with the cancelled bonds, notes and coupons on file. Payments were checked with the warrants authorizing them. The cash on hand was verified with the bank statements and the bank balances were reconciled.
