STATE AUDIT REPORT
REPORT OF THE STATE AUDIT
September 9, 1959
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Jackson E. Bailey, Chairman Scituate, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Scituate for the period from January 1, 1958 to May 23, 1959, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours, HERMAN B. DINE,
Director of Accounts.
HBD:MMH
Mr. Herman B. Dine Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation
State House, Boston
Sir:
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Scituate for the period from January 1, 1958, the date of the previous audit, to May 23, 1959, and report thereon as follows:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the departments collecting or disbursing money for the town, were examined, checked, and verified.
146
STATE AUDIT REPORT
An analysis was made of the town accountant's ledgers, the receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's record of payments. The appropriations and loan au- thorizations as listed from the town clerk's records of town meet- ings, as well as the transfers from the reserve fund authorized by the finance committee, were checked with the town accountant's ledger. A trial balance was drawn off, and, after the necessary ad- justments resulting from the audit were made, a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on May 23, 1959.
The surety bonds furnished by the several town officials re- quired by law to furnish such surety were examined and found to be in proper form.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and compared with the records of the several departments collect- ing money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash balance on May 23, 1959 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The payments made on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books, representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in custody of the town treasurer, were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions were checked in detail.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's books, the reported tax title redemptions were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, reconciled with the controlling accounts in the general ledger, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
147
STATE AUDIT REPORT
The records of payroll deductions for Federal and State taxes, the county retirement system, and group insurance were checked and proved with the treasurer's records and with the controlling accounts in the general ledger.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The tax, excise, assessment, departmental, and water accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and verified. The cash book additions were proved and the reported payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts. The abatements, as recorded, were compared with the records in the assessors' and other departments authorized to grant such credits, the amounts transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the re- spective controlling accounts in the general ledger. The collector's cash balance on May 23, 1959 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, 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, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's accounts pertaining to dog and sporting licenses issued, as well as to the collection of miscellaneous fees, were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer and to the State were verified, and the cash balance on May 23, 1959 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office.
The records of receipts of the board of selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and the inspectors of buildings, wires, plumbing and sewerage, as well as of the police, health, and school departments, and of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked, the recorded collections being compared with the treasurer's receipts.
It is again recommended that the amounts expended by the town for veterans' services be certified to the State promptly, as required by Section 6, Chapter 115, General Laws, in order that the town may receive the reimbursements to which it is entitled.
148
STATE AUDIT REPORT
Attention is also called to 13 claims pending against the town veterans' services department aggregating $712.66, representing unpaid bills of prior years, including services rendered in 1958 and merchandise delivered in 1958.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM SCHWARTZ,
Assistant Director of Accounts.
WS: MMH
