Town of Rockland
State Auditors Report
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Arthur H. Marks, Chairman Rockland, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Rockland for the period from January 1, 1957 to January 24, 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
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 town of Rockland for the period from January 1, 1957, the date of the pre- vious examination, to January 24, 1959, and submit the following report thereon :
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 ex- amined and verified by comparison with the reports and records of the treasurer and the accounting officer.
An analysis was made of the ledger accounts for the period covered by the audit, the receipts being check- ed with the treasurer's books, and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with

the treasurer's records. The appropriation accounts and loan authorizations were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings, and the recorded transfers from the reserve fund were verified by compari- son with the authorizations on file from the finance com- mittee.
The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condi- tion of the town on December 31, 1958.
Attention is called to the overdrawn accounts aggre- gating $7,635.54 appearing on the balance sheet which are contrary to the provisions of Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws.
In addition to the above, 17 claims pending against the town highway department were listed aggregating $9,792.56 representing unpaid bills of prior years, includ- ing services rendered in 1957 and 1958 and merchandise delivered in 1958.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as record- ed, were analyzed and compared with the records in the several departments collecting 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 January 24, 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.
Considerable difficulty was experienced in reconcil- ing the treasurer's cash, and it was found necessary to reconcile the monthly bank statements for practically the entire period under audit, which consumed a great deal of time with its consequential cost. Accordingly, it is urged that the treasurer prove the balances in the banks and the cash in the office with the cash book balance

at least weekly, that the bank accounts be promptly re- conciled with the bank statements upon receipt, and that he keep a permanent record of such reconciliations.
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 securities and savings bank books representing the investment of the several trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the library trus- tees were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions were examined and checked in detail.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts add- ed to the tax title account were compared with the collec- tor's records. The 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 check- ed with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
It is recommended that the treasurer institute fore- closure proceedings on all tax titles held over two years, as required by Section 50, Chapter 60, General Laws.
The records of payroll deductions for Federal 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 collector of taxes were examined and checked in detail. The tax and excise accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examina- tion, and all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and compared with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The cash book additions were proved and the reported payments to the treasurer were com- pared with the treasurer's recorded receipts. The abate- ments, as recorded, were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the transfers to the tax
