DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS
REPORT OF AN AUDIT of .
THE ACCOUNTS OF
the
TOWN OF MEDFIELD
FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1930, TO JULY 7, 1931.
Made in accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws
SEPTEMBER 10, 1931
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston
September 10, 1931.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Frank G. Haley, Chairman,
Medfield, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Medfield for the period from January 1, 1930, to July 7, 1931, made in accordance with the provi- sions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report 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.
131
AUDIT OF THE BOOKS AND ACCOUNTS
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell, 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 Medfield for the period from January 1, 1930, to July 7, 1931, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions of the town, as recorded in the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town, were examined and checked with the books of the Town Accountant.
The books and accounts of the Town Accountant were ex- amined and checked with the Treasurer's books and with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town.
The appropriations and transfers, as entered in the ledger, were checked to the Town Clerk's records of appropriations and transfers authorized by the town.
The receipts as shown on the Accountant's books were checked with the records of the Treasurer, and the payments were compared with the warrants authorizing the Treasurer to disburse town funds.
In checking vouchers and pay-rolls to the Treasurer's war- rants, it was found that police uniforms had been purchased and charged to the appropriation for the police department. Such expenditures should not be made until the town votes to accept Section 6B, Chapter 40, General Laws, inserted by Chapter 351, Acts of 1930.
The classification book was examined and checked with the ledger accounts.
132
The computation of the tax rate by the Assessors was checked and it was noted that the amount of estimated re- ceipts used by the Board of Assessors in determining the tax rate for 1930 proved to be $5,404.67 in excess of the amount actually collected for such purposes during the year. Great caution should be exercised in this respect, for a defi- cit in the estimated receipts account may impair the finan- cial condition of the town.
The books and accounts of the Town Treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the several departments col- lecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town/treasury. The cash in the office was verified by an actual count and the cash balances were reconciled with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited. .
The town debt, revenue loans, and interest were verified, and the payments were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The securities and savings bank books representing the in- vestments of the various trust funds in the custody of the Treasurer and the Selectmen were examined and listed. The income was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the receipts as shown in the Treasurer's cash book.
The principal of the library trust funds was originally $8,000, but owing to losses on investments made by Boston banks, which administered the funds for several years prior to 1930, the balance on December 31, 1930, amounted to only $7,376.83. This balance was increased during the current year until, on July 7, 1931, it amounted to $7,745.64. No further withdrawals should be made from this fund until the principal is restored to the amount originally bequeathed to the town.
The books and accounts of the Collector of Taxes were examined and checked in detail. The commitment books were footed, the abatements were checked to the Assessors'
133
records of abatements granted, and the payments to the Treasurer were checked to the Treasurer's cash book.
The outstanding accounts were listed and proved to the Accountant's ledger. Verification notices were mailed to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The records of town, sporting, and dog licenses issued by the Town Clerk were examined, and the payments to the town, to the Division of Fisheries and Game, and to the County, respectively, were verified.
In addition to the departments mentioned above, the finan- cial records of all other departments receiving money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined and reconciled with the books in the Treasurer's office.
No records of financial transactions are kept by the Board of Health, and it was found that the chairman of the board, who issues the alcohol licenses, had not deposited with the Town Treasurer the amounts received for such licenses during 1930 and 1931. Attention is invited to Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws, which provides that departmental receipts shall be paid into the town treasury upon their receipt.
Recommendations were made in the previous audit report concerning the water and cemetery accounts. The system of bookkeeping in these departments has since been changed and the accounts are now kept in an efficient and accurate manner.
It was noted that there were uncollected accounts in the cemetery department, representing charges for the annual care of lots and graves, which were several years overdue. An effort should be made to collect them, but if it is found that they are uncollectible, they should be abated by the cemetery commissioners-in order to clear the town books of worth- less accounts.
134
The surety bonds of the Treasurer, Tax Collector, Water Collector, and Town Clerk were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report are tables showing reconciliations of the Treasurer's and Collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, water, cemetery, and trust fund accounts, to- gether with a balance sheet reflecting the financial condition of the town as of July 7, 1931.
For the courtesies extended and the assistance rendered by the various town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, EDWARD H. FENTON; Chief Accountant.
