Account of State Audit REPORT OF STATE AUDIT
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. J. Edward Surette, Chairman Wakefield, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the tax collector of the town of Wakefield for the period from September 1, 1959 to May 7, 1960, 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
Mr. Herman B. Dine 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 tax collector of the town of Wakefield for the period from September 1, 1959, the date of the previous examination, to May 7, 1960, preparatory to a recommitment to the newly appointed temp- orary tax collector, the following report being submitted thereon:
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The commitments of taxes, excise, special assessments, and water liens were proved with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The receipts, as posted on the commitment books, were compared with the cash book record of collections, the payments to the treasurer were verified, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the controlling accounts in the town accountant's ledgers.
The books and accounts of the tax collector, as collector of water charges, were examined and checked. The commitments were verified, the recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were compared with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, 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.
181
149TH ANNUAL REPORT
Lists of the outstanding taxes, excise, and assessments as of May 7, 1960 were transmitted to the assessors' for their use in preparing recom- mitment warrants to the newly appointed collector.
While engaged in making the audit cooperation was received from the town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
