Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of North Andover for the year ending December 31, 196~, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter }!J!, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. William Schwartz, Assistant Chief of Bureau. Very truly yours, AHM:csg Director of Accounts Mr. Arthur H. MacKinnon Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation Boston, Massachusetts Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of North Andover for the year ending December 31, 196~, and submit the following report thereon: The records of financial transactions of the town, as shown on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection, were examined and verified by comparison with the books and records of the town accountant and the town treasurer. The books and accounts in the office of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the treasurer's books and with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, the payments, as entered, were checked with the treasurer's books and with the treasury warrants, while the appropriations and transfers were checked with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed by the town meeting and with the finance committee's authorizations of transfers from the reserve fund. The general and appropriation ledgers were analyzed for the period of the audit, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1964 was prepared and is appended to this report. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The receipts, as recorded, were analyzed and verified b~ comparison with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, with other sources from which the town received money, and with the town accountant's books, while the recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds and with the town accountant's records. The cash book was footed, and the cash balance on February 1965 was verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, by inspection of the savings bank books, and by actual count of the cash in the office. The reported payments on account of maturing debt and interest were compared with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled coupons and securities on file. The bond and coupon account was reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank of'deposit. The records of payroll deductions on account of Federal and State taxes, the county and teachers' retirement systems, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, group insurance, and the United Fund were examined and reconciled with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, and the payments to the proper agencies were verified. The transactions of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees of the library funds were verified, and the securities and savings bank books representing the investment of the funds were examined and listed. The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the tax titles redeemed were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The tax, excise and assessment accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination, and~all subsequent commitments, were audited and proved with the warrants issued for their collection. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer and with the accountant's ledger, the abatements as recorded were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts. The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined. The payments to the treasurer were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accountant's ledger. The books and accounts of the public works department were examined. The records of water and sewer charges were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements as recorded were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the town accountant's ledger. The outstanding tax, excise, assessment, departmental, sewer, and water accounts were further verified 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 accounts, as listed, are correct. The records of apportioned assessments were examined and checked. The payments in advance were checked with the treasurer's books, the amounts added to t'axes were verified, and the assessments due in future years were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts. The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The records of permits, recording fees, etc., were checked and proved. The cash book was analyzed and the recorded payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's cash book. The records of dog licenses, the proceeds of which are paid to the county, and of sporting licenses, which are collected on behalf of the State, were examined and checked in detail. The payments to the treasurer and to the Division of Fisheries and Game were verified, and the cash balance on February 13, 1965 was proved by actual count of the cash in the office. The surety bonds of all town officials required to furnish them were examined and found to be in proper form. The records of cash receipts of the selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, the infirmary, and the inspectors of buildings, gas, and plumbing, as well as of the 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 were verified, and the cash on hand, including petty cash advances, was proved by actual count. The books and accounts of the treasurer of the North Andover and Boxford District of Veterans' Services were audited in conjunction with the audit of the town treasurer's accounts. The cash book was analyzed, the recorded receipts and disbursements were verified, and the cash balance on February 13, 1965 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit. Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the town clerk's cash, summaries of the tax, excise, assessment, tax title, departmental, sewer, and water accounts, as well as schedules showing the condition and transactions of the trust and investment funds. During the progress of the audit cooperation was received from all officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
