STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT
February 10, 1947
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. William Noyes, Chairman West Bridgewater, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of West Bridgewater for the fiscal year end- ing December 31, 1946, 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,
FRANCIS X. LANG, Director of Accounts
FXL: IN
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 West Bridgewater for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1946, the following report being . submitted 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 and checked.
89
The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were veri- fied by comparison with the treasurer's books and with the records of the several departments making the original charges. The dis- bursements as recorded were checked with the selectmen's war- rants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the payments as shown by the treasurer's books.
The appropriations and transfers as shown by the records of the town clerk and the finance committee were checked to the accountant's ledger. The ledger accounts were analyzed, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1946. This balance sheet indicates that the town is in excellent finan- cial condition.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the departments making payments to the treas- urer, while the payments by the treasurer were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.
