Report of an Audit

FOR THE PERIOD FROM DECEMBER 5, 1939, TO JUNE 8, 1942
Made in Accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws
September 23, 1942
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston, September 23, 1942
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 December 5, 1939, to June 8, 1942, 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, 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 accounts of the town of Medfield for the period from December 5, 1939, the date of the previous audit, to June 8, 1942, and submit the following report thereon:
The records of financial transactions of the several depart- ments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined, checked, and verified by com- parison with the reports and records of the town accountant.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's records and with the records of other departments collecting money or committing bills for collection, while the recorded payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The appropria- tions, as listed from the town clerk's records of town meetings,
56
and the transfers from the reserve fund as shown by the records of the finance committee, were checked with the ledger accounts.
The ledger accounts were analyzed and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on June 8, 1942, was prepared and is appended to this report.
In checking the recorded payments and warrants it was noted that in some instances certain fixed charges, such as maturing debt and interest, were entered in the accountant's and the treas- urer's cash books without being included on the treasury war- rants, and it is therefore recommended that all payments to be made be placed on warrants authorizing the treasurer to pay out funds of the town.
The computations of the tax rates by the assessors for the period covered by the audit were checked and compared with the accountant's ledger accounts.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The footings of the cash book were proved and the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of departments making payments to the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with the town accountant's books. The payments as recorded were checked with the treasury warrants.
The cash balance on June 8, 1942, was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit and by verification of the cash in the office.
The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and in- terest were proved with the amounts falling due, being checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ment of trust funds in custody of the town treasurer were exam- ned and listed, the income, transfers to the town, and balances being proved.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were com- ared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions and foreclosures were checked, and the tax titles on hand were listed, reconciled to the accountant's ledger balance, and checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined und checked. The taxes and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, and all subsequent commitments, vere audited and compared with the assessors' warrants.
57
The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's books.
Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The selectmen's records of licenses and permits issued for the town, and the town clerk's records of licenses issued for the town, of dog licenses issued for the county, and hunting and fish- ing licenses for the State were examined, the payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified.
The books and accounts of the health, highway, public welfare, school, library, cemetery, and water departments were examined and checked. The commitments were proved, the collections as recorded were checked with payments to the treasurer, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the account- ant's ledger accounts.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined and the recorded payments to the treasurer were verified.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's, tax collector's, and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, assess- ment, tax title, tax possession, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the transactions and condition of the trust funds.
While engaged in making the audit, co-operation was received from the several town officials, for which, on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
