Respectfully submitted, Included in this report are the following: David A.Withrow Director of Municipal Finance 1) Schedule of Receipts/Expenditures (Cash Basis-Schedule A) 2) Town Meeting Appropriation Activity Report (Cash Basis) 3) Selected General Purpose Financial Statements I wish to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to all for the help and cooperation received during the past year. Special thanks to. Rechelia Butilier and Mary Sedgwick, Finance Department personnel, the personnel of the Collector/Treasurer's Office and the personnel of the Assessor's Office without whose help and persever- ance the past year's accomplishments would never have been possible. INDEPENDENT AUDIT In accordance with the provisions of section 8-8 of the Orleans Charter, the Board of Selectmen retained the firm of Robert Ercolini & Company to perform an inde- pendent audit of the financial activity of the Town for Fiscal Year 1996. The audit was conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. As is the practice with most communities in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Town has not maintained historical cost records of its fixed assets. In their opinion, except for the effects on the general pur- pose financial statements of the matter described above, the statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Town of Orleans as of June 30, 1996. 28 TOWN OF ORLEANS Fines and Forfeitures SCHEDULE OF RECEIPTS/EXPENDITURES 4770 Fines & Forfeitures 9,401.00 As reported on Schedule A, Total Fines& Forfeitures 9,401.00 for the Fiscal Year ended June 30, 1996 Miscellaneous Revenue 4810 Sale of Inventory 5,225.00 GENERAL FUND 4820 Earnings on Investments 232,631.00 4840 Other Misc.
