A blue wave would bury the Mass. GOP deeper

If there's a "blue wave" of Democratic success at the polls this fall, it won't mean much for the leaders who already run Beacon Hill, but it could bury the opposition party even deeper.
Why it matters: Republicans currently hold about 15 percent of seats across the House and Senate. It's a small but not inconsequential presence that assures at least some open debate and public votes.

TOWN ELECTIONS, APRIL VACATION...LOTS GOING ON...

IF MIDDLEBORO HAS A TOWN ACCOUNTANT, WHY A FORENSIC AUDIT?

Statutory Responsibilities of the Accountant/Auditor

The following best practice highlights the statutory responsibilities of the accountant/auditor.

The accountant or auditor is responsible for properly recording all municipal financial transactions in the community. This official prepares financial reports and ensures compliance with state and local reporting requirements. All bills for payment are approved by the accountant/auditor, who then monitors spending to assure that sufficient funds exist for purchases, and that goods have been received and services rendered before payment is made.

As excerpted from the Accountant’s Manual published by the Massachusetts Municipal Accountants and Auditors Association, below is a summary of the duties of the accountant/auditor:

Verify that every expense payment is lawful and justified and that funding exists under the appropriate budget line item (MGL c. 41, §52).
Maintain municipal books, including a general journal, general ledger, and subsidiary ledgers (MGL c. 41 §57).
Maintain detailed records of all debt (MGL c. 41 §57).
Retain custody of all contracts and surety bonds (MGL c. 41 §57).
At the close of the fiscal year, receive from each department, board, or committee a list of bills remaining unpaid (MGL c. 41 §58).
Certify in advance the availability of an appropriation for any construction contract in excess of $2,000 (MGL c. 44 §31C).
Certify to the assessor’s expenditures, approved in advance, expenses in excess of available appropriations for snow and ice removal (MGL c. 44 §31D).
At least monthly, prepare reports for officers and department heads that show total appropriations, expenditures, and balances in each appropriation (MGL c. 41 §58).
Provide notification when an appropriation has been expended or appears likely to become overdrawn (MGL c. 41 §58).
Furnish the assessors with a written report detailing money received for the preceding fiscal year from sources other than taxes, loans, and trust funds (MGL c. 41 §54A).
By May 1 each year, notify the assessor in writing of the amount of debt falling due in the next fiscal year and the provisions made to meet debt requirements (MGL c. 44 §16).
Immediately upon the close of the calendar year, prepare statements detailing the preceding year’s appropriations and expenditures; appropriations for the current fiscal year; expenditures incurred during the first six months; estimated expenditures for the second six months; and estimates for the ensuing fiscal year (MGL c. 41 §60).
Make an annual report that provides the receipts and expenditures for the past fiscal year from all funds; shows the specific appropriation amounts, expenditures and purposes; states any change in municipal debt; and lists indebtedness incurred and unpaid at the end of the fiscal year (MGL c. 41 §61).
Annually prepare and furnish to the DLS Director of Accounts a 1) Schedule A, 2) statement of public debt, and 3) Balance Sheet (MGL c. 44, §43).
