The books and accounts of the Town Treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the several departments in which money was collected for the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treas- ury, and with the town accountant's records. The disbursements were checked with the town accountant's books and with the Selectmen's war- rants.
115
The treasurer's cash balance on March 31, 1955, was proved by verifi- cation of the cash in the office, by examination of the savings bank books, by verification of the securities, and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the payments in advance of maturity, and checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The outstanding bonds and coupons were listed and reconciled with the bank balances as shown by statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The records of employees' payroll deductions on account of Federal taxes were examined and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger accounts.
The records of receipts from parking meter fees were not adaptable to audit purposes because the police department collects the money and leaves it at the local bank, where it is counted and credited to the town bank account.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The taxes and assessments transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's books and the foreclosures were verified. The recorded redemptions of tax titles and sales of tax possessions were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand March 31, 1955, were listed, reconciled with the town accountant's ledger, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The savings bank books and securities representing the investments of the several trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved, the transfers to the town were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, and the cash balances were proved by rconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The books and records of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes, motor vehicle and trailer excise, and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subse- quent commitment lists, were audited and proved with the assessors' war- rants issued for their collection. The cash books were footed, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were checked with the as- sessors' records of abatments granted, the taxes and assessments trans- ferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger. The tax collector's cash balance on March 31, 1955, was verified by actual count of the cash in the office.
The records of departmental and water accounts receivable were ex- amined and checked in detail. The commitments were proved, the recorded collections were checked with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, the abatements were compared with the records of the department's auth- orized to grant them, and the outstanding accounts were listed, proved with the departmental controls, and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.
The outstanding tax, excise, departmental 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, and from the replies received thereto it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
116
The assessors' computations of the tax rates for the years 1953 and 1954 were examined and checked. The records of abatements granted by the board of assessors were examined and checked with the books of the collector and the town accountant, while the warrants to the collector were listed and compared with the detailed commitment lists.
The records of deferred sewer assessments were examined, the pay- ments in advance and the amounts due and added to taxes 1953 and 1954 were verified, while the apportionments due in future years were listed and proved with the town accountant's controlling accounts.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts on account of dog and sporting licenses issued, as well as from marriage intentions, recording fees, copies of rec- ords, and miscellaneous charges, were verified and compared with the pay- ments to the treasurer. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on March 31, 1955, was verified by actual count of the cash in the office.
The financial votes passed at town meetings, as recorded by the town clerk, were checked in detail with the town accountant's ledger accounts, the aggregates of the appropriations being compared with the assessors' computations of the tax rates.
The surety bonds of the various town officials required to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of receipts of the selectmen, of the sealer of weights and measures, and of the police, health, school, and library departments, as well as of all other departments collecting money for the town, were ex- amined and checked with the treasurer's and the accountant's books.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's, tax collector's, and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, depart- mental, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
During the progress of the audit co-operation was extended by all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ Assistant Director of Accounts
