Report of State Audit
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Corporation and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston December 1, 1947
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Harold E. Kerwin, Chairman Fairhaven, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Fairhaven for the period from September 22, 1946 to September 10, 1947, made in accordance 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, FRANCIS X. LANG
FXL:CAH
Director of Accounts
45
Mr. Francis X. Lang 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 Fairhaven for the period from September 22, 1946, the date of the previous examination, to September 10, 1947, and submit the following report thereon:
The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and reconciled with the books and records of the accounting officer.
The accounting officer's ledgers were analyzed, the recorded receipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's records of payments. The appropriations, loan authori- zations, and transfers were checked with the amounts voted by the town meetings as shown by the records of the town clerk and with the finance committee's records of transfers from the reserve fund, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on September 10, 1947.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of 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 compared with the select- men's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash balance on September 10, 1947 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
The reported payments on account of debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the in- vestments of the trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The
46
transfers to the town were verified, the income was proved, and the other reported transactions were found to be correct.
The income from the Henry H. Rogers High School Fund, as recorded by the town treasurer, was compared with a statement furnished by the City Bank Farmers Trust Company of New York, Trustees.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and listed. The additions to the tax title account were checked with the collector's records, the recorded redemptions and sales of tax possessions were compared with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax title deeds as listed were reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The poll, personal property, and real estate taxes, motor vehicle and vessel excises, as well as departmental and water accounts outstanding according to the previous examination, were audited, and all subsequent commitments were checked and proved. The payment to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective controlling accounts in the accounting officer's ledger.
Verification of the correctness of the outstanding tax, excise, departmental, and water accounts was made by sending notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books and records as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed are correct.
The town clerk's records of licenses and permits issued were examined and checked in detail, the recorded payments to the trea- surer being verified by comparison with the treasurer's and the ac- counting officer's books. The records of dog and sporting licenses were also examined, the payment to the State being verified by com- parison with the receipts on file and the payments to the town trea- surer being checked to the treasurer's cash book.
The surety bonds furnished by the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
47
The records of departmental cash collections by the selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and the building inspector, as well as by the police, fire, health, sewer, and school departments, and of all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked. The payments to the town treasurer were verified, and the cash on hand in the several depart- ments was proved by actual count.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, excise, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, together with tables showing the condition and transac- tions of the trust, investment, and retirement funds.
While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from all the officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectively submitted,
