STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT
January 31, 1946
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. William W. 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 ending December 31, 1945, 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
TNW: CAH
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 West Bridgewater for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1945, and report thereon as follows:
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 reconciled with the records of the town accountant.
104
The town accountant's ledger was analyzed, the recorded re- ceipts being checked with the treasurer's books and the payments being compared with the warrants authorizing them and with the treasurer's record of payments.
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 on December 31, 1945. This balance sheet indicates that the financial condition of the town is very good.
The books and accounts of the treasurer were examined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and checked with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book additions were verified, and the cash balance on January 15, 1946 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
