State Audit
-
State House, Boston, January 22, 1934
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Wendell F. Davis, Chairman Acton, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and ac- counts of the treasurer of the town of Acton for the period from April 1 to November 20, 1933, and of the other town departments for the period from January 1, 1931, to November 20, 1933, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the 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
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell 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 ac- counts of the treasurer of the town of Acton for the period from April 1, 1933, the date of the previous audit, to November 20, 1933, and of the other town departments for the period from January 1, 1931, to November 20, 1933, the following report being submitted thereon :
The financial transactions of the town as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and checked with the books of the treasurer.
As no entries had been made in the journal or ledger of the town accountant for 1933, it was necessary to compile ledger accounts for the period audited in 1933. The accounts, as kept for 1932, were analyzed and checked. In order that information concerning the
10
financial affairs of the town may at all times be available for use of the officials and other taxpayers, it is highly essential that the ac- countant keep his books written up to date at all times.
The receipts as recorded by the accountant were checked with the financial records of the several departments making payments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's cash book, while the payments as recorded were compared with the treasurer's cash book and with the treasury warrants.
The appropriation accounts were examined and checked with the appropriations, transfers, and loans voted by the town as shown by the town clerk's records.
A balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town as of November 20, 1933, was prepared and is appended to this report.
This balance sheet discloses overdrafts in several departments aggregating $2,421.78. In this connection the attention of the select- men is directed to Sections 31 and 62, Chapter 44, General Laws, which read as follows:
Sec. 31-No department of any city or town, except Boston, shall incur liability in excess of the appropriation made for the use of such department, except in cases of extreme emergency in- volving the health or safety of persons or property, and then only by a vote in a city of two thirds of the members of the city council, and in a town by a vote of two thirds of the selectmen.
Sec. 62-Any city, town or district officer who knowingly vio- lates, or authorizes or directs any official or employee to violate, any provision of this chapter, or any other provision of general laws relating to the incurring of liability or expenditure of pub- lic funds on account of any city, town or district, or any pro- vision of special law relating to the incurring of liability or ex- penditure of public funds as aforesaid, shall, except as other- wise provided, be punished by a fine of not more than one thou- sand dollars or by imprisonment for not more than one year, or both; and the mayor, selectmen, prudential committee, or com- missioners, shall, and five taxpayers may, report such violation to the district attorney who shall investigate and prosecute the same.
The payments of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and were found to be correct.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The footings of the cash book were proved, the reported receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the various departments paying money into the treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treas- urer to disburse town funds.
11
The cash balance as of November 20, 1933, was verified by a reconciliation of the bank account with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by an actual count of the cash in the office. A schedule showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash is appended to this report.
The savings bank books and securities held as investments of the several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were exam- ined and listed. The income was proved and the receipts and dis- bursements were verified. The trust fund in the custody of trustees was also examined and checked, and the securities were listed.
Schedules showing the financial transactions of the several trust funds were prepared and are appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked in detail. The commitments were analyzed and proved, the abatements were checked to the assessors' record of abatements granted, the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treas- urer's cash book, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as ow- ing money to the town and from the replies received, it appears that the outstanding accounts are correct, as listed.
The clerical work of the tax collector was found to be performed in an accurate and efficient manner.
The books and records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts on account of sporting and dog licenses were checked with the license stubs, the payments to the State, county, and town were verified, and the cash on hand was proved by actual count. The town clerk's record of cemetery lots sold was examined and checked in detail.
The selectmen's records of licenses granted were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book.
The tax titles in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed and additions thereto were checked to the respective tax levies.
The records of the public welfare department were examined. No complete record of bills which are due the town from the State and other municipalities and which are sent out for collection is kept by the department. It is recommended that a complete record of all bills sent out be kept and that the collections therefrom be recorded, so that the outstanding accounts receivable may be determined at any time.
12
The financial records of the sealer of weights and measures and of the town nurse, as well as of the health, school, and library depart- ments were examined and checked. It was noted that the sealer and the librarian make payments to the treasurer once each year. All monies collected for the town should be turned into the town treas- ury at least once each month.
It was also noted that the librarian keeps no complete cash book record of collections and that disbursements are being made from receipts for library purposes, contrary to Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws, which reads as follows:
All moneys received by any town officer or department, ex- cept as otherwise provided by special acts and except fees pro- vided for by statute, shall be paid by such officer or depart- ment upon their receipt into the town treasury. Any sums so paid into the treasury shall not later be used by such officer or department without a specific appropriation thereof, except that sums allotted to towns for highway purposes by the com- monwealth or a county, which shall be used only for the pur- poses specified by the officials making the allotment or to meet temporary loans issued in anticipation of such allotment as pro- vided in sections six or six A, shall be available therefor with- out any appropriation.
The surety bonds of the treasurer, tax collector, and town clerk were examined and found to be in proper form.
For the co-operation of the several town officials during the prog- ress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDW. H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.
