METHODS
Of ACCOUNTING
ARE DENOUNCED

New York, July 9.-The American AS
ISOLATION OF Public Accountants made an
nouncement here yesterday OF the views
OF the commission appointed by Gov.
Guild OF Massachusetts, 10 recodify the
insurance laws OF that state and consider
advisable amendments. The report con-
tains denunciation OF the methods en-
ployed by the New York insurance de-
partment.
The report OF the Massachusetts, COM
mission. consisting Of John l.. Bates. VIII
liam Whitman and Frederick Nash. says:
"The recent investigation I'm New York
has revealed among other evils two Sc
rious defects in the internal and exter-
nal regulation OF insurance companies
namely. an unscientifific and inefficient
system OF internal accounting book-keep-
ing and auditing and a superficial and
Inadequate examination OF the companies
by the insurance department OF that
state.
1T Is impossible 10 secure individual
honesty and fidelity TO trust In the man
agement OF an institution through legisla-
tive enactment or any code OF rules. But
Il Is possible TO provide a system OF
checks that Will tend 10 expose each
Dredcn OF duty anu ~
management TO oust or TO restrain the
wrong -doer.
Such system Of checks can be most
efficiently secured by compelling the In
surance companies of the state TO submit
TO independent auditing by public ac-
countants so chosen as TO command the
confidence Of the public.
1--WE recommend first the passage OF
All act 10 create a state board Of account
ancy and 10 regulate the business OF GER
tihed public accountants. and, second. the
passage OF an act compelling insurance
companies TO adopt a uniform system OF
accounting. 20 be approved by the insur-
ance commissioner and 10 have all their
books. accounts and reports audited by
public accountants certified by a state
board OF accountancy
IF the system proposed had been es-
tablished In New York several years ago
many OF the familiar evils OF the past
few years would have been avoided II
would have been impossible under such
system for the officers OF the greater
companies 10 have concealed their tran
sactions from the policyholders or the In
surance department"
AS 10 insurance reports. the commits
sion finds that the recommendations or
the Armstrong committee are insufficient.
and particularly recommends the incor-
poration in such reports OF gain and
loss exhibit"

ing schedules TO the basis that exist
