STATE AUDIT
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS
Department of Corporations and Taxation, Division of Accounts State House, Boston, June 13, 1928.
To the Board of Selectmen,
Mr. Frank C. Newhall, Chairman, Lynnfield, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Lynnfield for the period from January 1, 1927 to March 17, 1928, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of this Division.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE N. WADDELL,
Director of Accounts.
TNW/AMH
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 Lynnfield for the period from January 1, 1927 to March. 17, 1928, and submit the following report thereon:
The finanial transactions of the town as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town were examined and reconciled with the town accountant's books.
The books and accounts of the collector and treasurer, as treasurer,. were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury; and the records of payments were checked by a comparison of the approved treasury warrants with the cancelled checks drawn by the treasurer for the payment of the warrants authorizing him to disburse town funds. The cash books were footed throughout for the period covered by the audit, errors in payments during 1926 and 1927 were adjusted, and the corrected cash balance March 17, 1928, was reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit.
As may be seen from the appended table showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash on March 17, 1928, the corrected cash balance as of that date was $1,539.34, while the balance according to the accountant's. ledger amounted to $3,047.83. In order to reconcile this variation, the treasurer's cash account, as shown on the accountant's ledger, should be credited on March 17, 1928, with a payment of $2,085.00 for debt and interest in anticipation of a treasury warrant, while the same account
74
should be charged with underpayments in 1926 and in 1927 amounting to $12.23 and $39.28, respectively, as well as with $525.00 representing warrants drawn and unpaid.
The treasurer's cash on March 17, 1928, was found to be $455.57 in. excess of the corrected cash balance, in which connection it is recom- mended that the treasurer make a determined effort to reconcile his cash book balance with the bank balance at least monthly, keeping per- sonal funds separate from town cash. Receipts should be entered on the. cash book promptly, and deposits in the bank should represent accurately the aggregate receipts for a given period.
The accounts of the treasurer and collector, as tax collector, were examined and checked. The commitments of taxes for the levies of 1922 and 1927, inclusive, were analyzed and compared with the assessors' war- rants, the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abate- ments granted, the collections were checked with the collector's pay- ments to the treasurer, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accountant's ledger.
Verification notices were sent to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
After the necessary adjustments of errors and omissions in the collector's accounts were made, the collector's cash was found to be $120.71 over, due probably to some collection not posted to the commit- ment book.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the rec- ords in the several departments collecting money for the town and with the treasurer's cash book, and the expenditures were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing payments by the treasurer.
In checking the payments it was noted that a large number of the warrants were signed by only one selectman, and that many bills of pre- vious years were paid from the current year's appropriations. Greater care should be exercised in the preparation of the treasury warrants, with a view to eliminating duplicate or erroneous payments. The prac- tice of paying old bills from current appropriations should be discon- tinued and specific appropriations should be voted by the town before such bills may be paid by the treasurer.
The appropriation accounts were examined and checked with the town clerk's record of appropriations voted by the town, the ledger ac- counts were analyzed and adjusted, and a balance sheet, which is ap- pended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on March 17, 1928.
The several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined, the income and disbursements being verified.
In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned above, the
75
accounts of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined and checked.
Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, to- gether with tables showing the trust fund transactions.
For the courtesy 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, EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Accountant.
