REPORT OF AUDIT OF BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS
May 28, 1953
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Arthur W. Lee, Chairman Acton, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town collector of the Town of Acton for the period from December 1, 1952 to March 3, 1953, made in ac- cordance 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,
HBD: JRB
HERMAN B. DINE, Director of Accounts
111
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 collector of the Town of Acton for the period from December 1, 1952, the date of the previous examination, to March 3, 1953, prepra- tory to a recommitment to the newly elected town collector, and submit the following report thereon:
The accounts outstanding according to the previous audit, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved. The payments to the town and district treasurers were checked with the treasurers' cash books, the abate- ments as recorded were verified by comparison with the assessors' and other departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding tax, excise, and cemetery de- partment accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by sending notices to all persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town and the district. Replies were received from many taxpayers who claimed that their accounts were paid, and all claims were carefully investi- gated or are in the process of investigation. The taxpayers' claims, substantiated by presentation of proof of payment, were charged to the collector, and from the remainder of the replies it would appear that the accounts, as now listed, are substantially correct.
A comparison of the collector's adjusted cash balance on March 3, 1953 with the cash in the office and in the bank showed a cash shortage amounting to $1,025.00. This amount, which is due from the collector, may subsequently be in- creased by additional proof of payment of items now carried on the collector's books as outstanding.
112
Detailed lists of outstanding accounts as of March 3, 1953 were prepared and given to the new town collector, and the aggregates of the outstanding levies were given to the assessors for their use in preparing the recommitment war- rants to the newly elected town collector.
The newly elected town collector should secure a prompt and complete settlement of all delinquent tax and motor ve- hicle and trailer excise accounts, some of which date back to 1947.
The surety bonds of the newly elected town collector furnished for the faithful performance of his duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
There are appended to this report tables showing a re- conciliation of the town collector's cash discrepancy as well as summaries of the tax, cemetery department, and interest accounts.
During the audit cooperation was extended by all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for my- self, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM SCHWARTZ,
WS : JRB
Assistant Director of Accounts
