Records For 1855.
1856 In Accord

A report of the financial records
of the County Commissioners, Jo-
seph Welch, treasurer, and the
records of the County Roads de-
partment for the two years ended
December 81, 1856, has been re-
ceived by the Commissioners from
Wooden, Benson and Walton, GER
titled public accountants of Baltf-
more.
The audit was made several
months ago.
The figures were found to be in
agreement with the records. I'm
der the various accounts in the re-
port are the words, all bank ac-
counts were confirmed to us by
the repositories and reconciled
with your records" or the amounts
outstanding for each issue were
confirmed to us by the State Comp
t~oller." or the above loans were
confirmed to us by the State Roads
Commission" or requests for con-
firmation of the balances were
mailed on a substantial number of
accounts. All replies received to
date we're either in agreement or
reconciled to your records"
The auditors sent the Commits
SionerS a number of suggestions
but declared they had mot meant
TO be critical but have intended
our comments to be constructive.
They recommended general
ledger which would include all &C.
counts of all funds, to give com.
plete financial transactions and d
continuous record which would not
change whenever a new treasurer
or a new county commissioner took
office.
They suggested cash receipts ano
cash disbursements books.
They showed valuation of build
ihgs in excess of SO million with an
insurance coverage of only S68,000
They suggested a complete survey
of insurance needs. They suggested
having the financial secretary and
clerk in the treasurer's office
bonded.
They recommended a record OF
all fixed assets, that the dog license
fund be closed; that the volume OF
work in the treasurer's office war
ranted full time deputy to be en-
plOyed, and that a trained person
was needed to run the office in
case the treasurer was absent due
to illness or other necessity; some
changes in the tax sale funds, no
discounts on taxes when partial
payments we're made: and that the
laws relating to county finances
should be reviewed and changed to
improve records and controls on
finances of the county.
The cost of the audit which took
accountants several weeks to COM
plete, according to figures in the
office of the County Commission
ers, amounted to S5,043.72, plus an
other item of $500 paid to H. c.
Riggs and Nordeck Shaffer for
auditing the books before the CPA's
were hired.
