To the Board of Selectmen,


Mr. Leonard J. Davis, Chairman, Pepperell, Massachusetts.


Gentlemen:


I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Pepperell for the period from August 26, 1947 to May 18, 1949, 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 Ac- counts.


Very truly yours, FRANCIS X. LANG


Director of Accounts.


Mr. Francis X. Lang


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 Pepperell for the period from August 26, 1947, the date of the previous examination, to May 18, 1949, the following report being submitted thereon:


An examination and verification was made of the recorded financial transactions of the town as shown on the books of the departments receiving or disbursing money or committing bills for collection.


The town accountant's ledger accounts were analyzed and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were checked with the treasurer's books, while the recorded payments were com- pared with the treasurer's cash book, with the treasury war- rants, and with the approved bills and payrolls on file. The appropriations, transfers, and loan authorizations, as entered,


142


were checked with the town clerk's record of town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund.


A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of May 18, 1949


The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The cash book additions were verified, the recorded receipts were compared with the accountant's books, with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money is paid into the town treasury. The recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the accountant's ledger.


The cash balance on May 18, 1949 was proved by recon- ciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by verification of a bank deposit in transit.


The transactions of the several trust and investment funds in custody of the town treasurer were verified, and the securities and savings bank books representing the investment of these funds were examined and listed.


The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the tax col- lector's records and with the accountant's books, the reported redemptions and sales were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed, proved, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.


The payments on account of debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled notes on file.


The records of payroll deductions on account of federal taxes, Blue Cross, and the retirement fund were examined and reconciled with the accountant's ledger controls.


The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The poll and property taxes and motor vehicle and trailer excise outstanding according to the previous examination, as well as all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and checked to the warrants for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records


143


of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts.


The outstanding accounts were further verified 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 outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.


The assessors' records of abatements granted were recon- ciled with the collector's books and with the accountant's ledger. The assessors' warrants for the commitment of taxes and motor vehicle and trailer excise were examined and checked with the detailed lists.


Difficulty was experienced in verifying the abatements granted by the assessors due to errors in reporting and in record- ing them in the assessors' record book.


The selectmen's records of licenses and permits issued were examined and checked and the payments to the treasurer were verified.


The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The collections on account of town, dog, and sporting licenses issued were verified and compared with the payments to the town treasurer and to the Division of Fish- eries and Game.


The surety bonds filed by the several town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.


The records of accounts receivable of the health, public welfare, and veterans' services departments were examined. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant them, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and compared with the accountant's ledger accounts.


It is again recommended that all departments sending out bills for collection notify the accountant promptly of the total amount of such bills, so that his ledger may at all times reflect the true condition of the departmental accounts receivable.


The records of departmental cash collections of the sealer of weights and measures, as well as of the library and cemetery departments, were examined and checked. The payments to the town treasurer were verified and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count.


The records of the water department were examined and


144


checked. The charges were compiled from the customers' ledger cards, the abatements were verified, the payments to the treasur- er were compared with the treasurer's cash book, and the out- standing accounts were listed and proved to the accountant's control account.


In addition to the balance sheet previously mentioned, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and tax collector's cash, together with summaries of the tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, tax title, tax posses- sion, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables show- ing the trust and investment fund transactions.


For the cooperation received from all the town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted,


HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
