REPORT OF STATE DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTS
April 11, 1940
To the Board of Selectmen : Mr. John Shanahan, Chairman, Abington, Massachusetts,
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the general accounts of the town of Abington from January 1, 1939, and of the temporary collector's accounts from June 9, 1939, to the end of the year 1939, made in ac- cordance 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,
THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts.
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston.
Sir :-
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the general accounts of the town of Abing- ton from January 1, 1939 and of the temporary collec- tor's accounts from June 9, 1939, the dates of the previ- ous examinations, to the end of the fiscal year 1939, 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 and reconciled with the books in the town accountant's office.
182
The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, the re- corded receipts being checked with the treasurer's books, while the payments were compared with the war- rants authorizing them and with the treasurer's records of payments. The appropriation accounts and loans authorized, as recorded, were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings.
The necessary adjusting and correcting entries re- sulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared show- ing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1939.
Overlay deficits and old age assistance tax abate- ments aggregating $1,286.55, as well as a revenue deficit of $310.87, appearing on the balance sheet, should be provided for.
