TOWN OF SOUTHBRIDGE
MASSACHUSETTS
Attest : Clare P. Boyer, Town Clerk
Department of Corporations and Taxation Bureau of Accounts 80 Mason Street, Boston
May 13, 1964
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. S. Anthony Caprera, Chairman Southbridge, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Southbridge for the fiscal year 1963, made in accordance with provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Chief of Bureau.
Very truly yours, s/ARTHUR H. MacKINNON Director of Accounts
223
AHM:em Mr. Arthur H. Mackinnon Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation Boston, Massachusetts
Sir :
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Southbridge for the fis- cal year 1963, and submit the following report thereon :
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison with the records in the offices of the town account and the town treasurer.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were ex- amined and checked. The ledger was analyzed, the appropriation accounts were compared with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed by the town meetings, the recorded receipts were checked with the treasurer's books and with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer, while the pay- ments, as entered, were compared with the treasury warrants and with the treasurer's books.
The necessary adjustments resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, a copy of which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1963.
The balance sheet shows overdrafts in the Chapter 90 high- way accounts amounting to $12,000.00 which could have been avoided if the treasurer had issued a temporary loan in anticipa- tion of State and county reimbursements, as provided for by Section 6A, Chapter 44, General Laws.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared
224
with the town accountant's books, with the departmental records of payments to the treasurer, and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The payments were check- ed with the warrants approved by the selectmen and with the accountant's books.
The cash book was footed, and the treasurer's cash balance on February 11, 1964 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with state- ments furnished by the banks of deposit.
The maturing debt and interest payments were compared with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled securities on file. The outstanding coupons on February 11, 1964 were listed and reconciled with the balance in the bond and coupon account, as shown by statements received from 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 footed, the payments to the proper agencies were verified, and the balances on hand were reconciled with the ledger controls.
The securities and savings bank books representing the in- vestments of the several trust and retirement funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved and all transactions and balances were verified and compared with the accountant's books, and, in the case of the retirement funds, with the records of the retirement board.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were checked with the collector's books, the reported redemptions were compared with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed, reconciled with the controlling ledger accounts, and checked with records at the Registry of Decds.
225
The records of parking meter collections were examined and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked in detail. The taxes, excise, and assessments out- standing 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 treasurer's and the accountant's books ; the abatements, as enter- ed, were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted; the transfers to the tax title account were proved; and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the re- spective controls in the accountant's ledger.
The records of departmental accounts receivable were ex- amined and checked. The commitments were verified, 'the abate- ments were compared with the departmental records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling ledger accounts.
The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, and departmental 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 ac- counts, as listed, are correct.
The records of deferred sewer and sidewalk assessments were examined. The payments in advance were checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the amounts added to taxes were verified, and the apportionments due in future years were listed and compared with the accountant's books.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses issued, and from recording fees and miscellaneous charges, were verified and compared with the payments to the town
226
treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on February 11, 1964 was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconcilia- tion of the bank balance with a statement received from the bank of deposit.
The records of departmental cash collections by the board of selectmen and the sealer of weights and measures, as well as by the police, fire, health, public welfare, school, library, and ceme- tery departments, and by all other departments in which money was collected for the town, were examined and checked. The pay- ments to the town treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.
The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form.
There were appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing reconciliations of the several cash accounts, summaries of the tax , excise, assessment, tax title, and depart- mental accounts, as well as schedules showing the transactions and condition of the trusts and retirement funds.
On behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation for the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the progress of the audit.
Respectfully submitted, s/WILLIAM SCHWARTZ Assistant Chief of Bureau
