Also, the position requires reporting this information at the local, state and federal level. The Town Accountant/Auditor position is described in the Massachusetts General Laws (MGL), Chapter 41. Federal laws, Massachusetts laws, and Plainville By-Laws further define the rules and regulations that guide the Town Accountant/Auditor in carrying out the responsibilities ofthis position. The Town’s records are audited annually by a CPA firm. The most recent audit of the Town’s financial records was completed February 26, 2003 for the Fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. Copies of our audited financial statements are available for perusal and reference in my office and the Town Clerk’s office. The statements that follow will describe the town’s financial activity in summary form, but are descriptive enough to have meaning. The format is essentially the same one I have used to report to the Town since 1992, improved or augmented to capture as much information while maintaining readability. If these reports trigger a question or suggestion, please contact me at Town Hall (508) 695-3142, extension 25. I extend my appreciation to all the Town employees who share the effort to maintain professional management of the Town’s finances. We work as a cooperative unit and share in the successes we’ve experienced. Respectfully submitted.
