Report of State Auditor


REPORT OF STATE AUDITOR


THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS


Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston


March 9, 1933.


To the Board of Selectmen:


MR. JAMES W. TURNER, Chairman, Scituate, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Scituate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1932, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of this Division.


Very truly yours,


THEODORE N. WADDELL,


Director of Accounts.


TNW :CAB


165


Report of State Auditor


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 books and accounts of the town of Scitu- ate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1932, and sub- mit the following report thereon :


The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or dis- bursing money for the town, were examined and checked with the books of the town accountant.


The books and accounts of the accounting department were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were compared with the records of the departments collecting money for the town, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants.


The original vouchers on file were examined and com- pared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to dis- burse funds, the classification book was examined, and the appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings.


In examining the vouchers it was noted that pay- ments have been made for the purchase of uniforms for the members of the police and fire departments, although there appears to be no record of a town vote accepting the provisions of Section 6B, Chapter 40, General Laws, per- mitting appropriations to be made for this purpose.


166


Report of State Auditor


The ledger accounts were analyzed, the footings and postings were verified, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of December 31, 1932.


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with the accountant's books, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disburse- ment of town funds.


The cash book was footed, the recorded receipts were analyzed, and the cash balance was verified by a reconcili- ation with statements furnished by the several banks of deposit.


The payments on account of debt and interest were verified and checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The outstanding coupons were listed and checked with a statement furnished by the bank.


A table showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash is appended to this report.


The books and accounts of the collector were exam- ined and checked. The commitments of taxes for the levy of 1932 were analyzed and checked with the asses- sors' warrants. The payments to the treasurer for the levies of 1928 to 1932, inclusive, were compared with the records of the treasurer and the town accountant, the abatements were checked with the assessors' abatement records, the cash on hand was verified by an actual count,


167


Report of State Auditor


and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved to the accountant's ledger accounts.


The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town, the re- plies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.


The commitment lists of water department charges for 1932 and 1933 were analyzed and checked with the warrants to the collector. The payments to the treasur- er for the commitments of 1931 to 1933, inclusive, were checked with the records of the treasurer, the recorded abatements were compared with the records of the water department, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger.


Tables showing a reconciliation of the collector's cash and summaries of the various tax, assessment, and water accounts are appended to this report.


The records of the selectmen, chief of police, town clerk, and the board of health for licenses and permits granted were examined, and the recorded collections were compared with the records of the treasurer.


The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses were examined. The payments to the county and to the Division of Fisheries and Game, were compared with the receipts on file, and the cash on hand was verified by an actual count.


The records of the sealers of weights and measures were examined, and the payments to the treasurer were verified.


168


Report of State Auditor


The records of receipts of the school department were examined, and the payments to the treasurer were com- pared with the records of the treasurer and with the ac- countant's ledger.


The savings bank books in the custody of the select- men, representing the investment of the several trust funds, were examined, the income being proved and the withdrawals being checked with the records of the treas- urer.


Appended to this report are tables showing the con- dition of the several trust funds.


The surety bonds of the treasurer, collector, deputy collector, and town clerk for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


For the courtesy and co-operation received from the various officials during the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


EDW. H. FENTON,


Chief Accountant.
