To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Armand Bellerive, Chairman Southbridge, Massachusetts Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Southbridge for the period from De- cember 1, 1958 to December 31, 1959, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assist- ant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours, Herman B. Dine, Director of Accounts.
HBD:GBS 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 of Southbridge for the period from December 1, 1958, the date of the previous audit, to December 31, 1959, and submit the following report thereon.
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for
96
the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the records of the town treasurer and the town accountant.
The town accountant's ledgers were analyzed for the period covered by the audit, the recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's books, while the payments, as entered, were compared with the treasury warrants and with the treasurer's records of payments. The appropriation ac- counts were checked with the town clerk's record of town meeting proceedings, and the recorded transfers from the re- serve fund were verified by comparison with the authoriza- tions of the finance committee.
The necessary adjusting entries were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1959.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments col- lecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book additions were verified, and the cash balance on January 31, 1960 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by re- conciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit.
The records of payroll deductions for Federal and State taxes and for group insurance premiums were examined and checked. The deductions were compared with the treasurer's records, and the payments to the proper agencies were com- pared with the vouchers on file.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined, the amounts added to the tax title accounts being compared with the tax collector's books. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and recon- ciled with the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The records of parking meter collections were examined and compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts.
The maturing debt and interest payments were proved with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled securities on file. The outstanding bonds and coupons were listed and reconciled with the balance in the bond and coupon account, as shown by a statement received from the bank of deposit.
The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the several trust, investment, and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees were examined and checked in detail. The income was proved, and all transactions and balances were verified and compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, and, in the
97
case of the retirement funds, with the records of the retire- ment board.
The books and accounts of the town collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The tax, excise, assessment, and departmental accounts outstanding at the time of the previous audit, as well as all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer, as shown by the treas- urer's and the accountant's books; the abatements, as entered, were compared with the assessors' and other departmental records of abatements granted; the transfers to the tax title account were proved; and the outstanding accounts were listed, checked with the available records in the several depart- ments, and reconciled with the respective controls in the town accountant's ledger.
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, and department- al accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses issued and of miscellaneous receipts were examined and checked. The payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game were checked with the receipts on file, and the payments to the town were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts.
The surety bonds of the several town officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
The available records of departmental cash collections of the board of selectmen and the sealer of weights and meas- ures, as well as of the police, fire, health, highway, public wel- fare, veterans' services, school, library, and cemetery depart- ments, and of all other departments in which money was col- lected for the town, were examined and checked. The pay- ments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash receipts, while the cash on hand in the several depart- ments was proved by actual count.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing reconciliations of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, and departmental accounts, as well as schedules showing the transactions and condition of the trust, investment, and re- tirement funds.
During the progress of the audit cooperation was extended by the several town officials, for which, on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ, Assistant Director of Accounts.
