The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined, checked and verified by comparison with the records in the offices of the town accountant and the town treasurer.
The books and accounts in the town accountant's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's cash book and with the approved treasury warrants. The appropriations, loan authorizations, and transfers, as recorded, were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting votes and with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund, while other accounts were checked with the records of the several departments in which the transactions originated.
An analysis was made of the ledger accounts, a trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, the necessary adjust- ing entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of March 8, 1965.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The cash book additions were verified, and the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the town accountant's books, with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town, and with 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 records.
The cash balance on March 8, 1965 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by examination of the savings bank books, by verification of U. S. Treasury bills in bank custody for safekeeping, and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and checked with the cancelled bonds and coupons on file. The outstanding bonds and coupons were listed and reconciled with the amount on deposit for their payment, as shown by a statement furnished by the depository.
51
The savings bank books and certificates of deposit representing the investment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved, and all transactions and balances were verified and checked with the books of the town accountant.
The treasurer's records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the tax collector s records. The reported redemptions and sales were checked with the receipts as re- corded on the treasurer's books, the foreclosures were verified, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed proved, and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The records of payroll deductions on account of Federal and State taxes, the county retirement system, group insurance, and the United Fund were examined and checked. The payments to the proper agencies were verified, and the balances were reconciled with the respective controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The taxes, excise and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination, together with all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and checked with the warrants issued for their collection and with the records of the town accountant. The collections, as recorded, were compared with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, the recorded abatements were proved with the assessor's records of abate- ments granted, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The records of departmental and water accounts receivable were examined and checked in detail. The charges were proved, the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the abatements, as recorded, were checked with the departmental records granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's controlling accounts.
Further verification of the tax, excise, assessment, depart- mental, and water accounts was made 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 records of apportioned assessments were examined and checked. The payments in advance were checked with the records of the treasurer, the amounts added to taxes were verified, and the assessments due in future years were listed and reconciled with che deferred controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The financial records of the town clerk on account of dog, sport- ing, and miscellaneous licenses issued were checked. The payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's and the accountant's records, and the payments to the State were checked with the receipts on file.
52
The surety bonds of the several town officials required to file them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The available records of departmental receipts of the selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and the building, wire, plumbing, and gas inspectors, as well as of the police, health, school, library, and cemetery departments, and of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the treasurer's records and the accountant's books, and the cash on hand in the several departments was proved by actual count .
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, sum- maries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, tax possession departmental, and water accounts, together with schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds.
For the cooperation extended by all town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.
/s/ William Schwartz ASSISTANT CHIEF OF BUREAU
