SIR :
In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Hamilton for the year ending December 31, 1955, 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 and checked.
The town accountant's books were examined and compared with the re- cords of the several departments. The payments as recorded in the ledger were verified by comparison with the warrants of the selectmen authorizing the disbursement of town funds and the receipts were checked with the treasurer's records.
An analysis was made of the ledger, and the appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's record of appropriations and transfers authorized by vote of the town meetings, while the transfers from the reserve fund were checked with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized.
132
A trial balance was drawn off proving the ledger to be in balance, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1955 was prepared and is appended to this report.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the collector's records of payments to the treasurer, with the records in the several departments in which charges originated or in which money was collected for the town, and with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. The recorded disbursements were compared with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the town accountant's books.
The cash book footings were verified, and the cash balance on January 7, 1956 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The savings bank books representing the investments of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals being verified.
The payments of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the col- lector's records, the reported redemptions were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed, proved, and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The records of deductions from employees' salaries for Federal taxes and for the county retirement system were examined and checked, the payments to the Director of Internal Revenue and to the county treasurer being verified.
The books and accounts in the town collector's office were examined and checked. The tax, excise, assessment, water, and cemetery accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, as well as all subse- quent commitments, were audited and compared with the assessors' and departmental warrants. The collections as posted in the commitment books were compared with the cash record of collections, the abatements were compared with the assessors' and departmental records of abatements granted, the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the control accounts in the account- ant's ledger.
Verification of the outstanding tax, excise, assessment, water, and cemetery accounts was made by sending 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 sporting and dog licenses issued were examined, the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game being veri- fied with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book.
133.
The records of cash receipts of the sealer of weights and measures, of the health, school, and library departments, and of all other departments wherein money is collected for the town were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer and the cash on hand being verified.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investments funds.
For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ, Assistant Director of Accounts.
