Meredith zias completed nis examination of the financial records of Alpine School district for the period from July l 1936, to June 30, 1938. The audit goes into considerable aeiau in tne examination of the var ious financial functions of the school district. It ls contained in a bound report, with 23 schedules and ex hibits making up 35 pages of in formative analysis. Exhibits include the balance sheet as of June 30, with 18 schedules snowing detail of various items; budget and expenditure for 1936-1937, 1936-1937, and for 1937-1938; record of as sessed valuation of the district for the past 17 years, and comparative per-capita cost of the various schools of the district. Interesting detail pointed out by Mr. Meredith Is the new basis for valuation of the capital assets, including in-cluding buildings, sites and furniture furni-ture and fixtures. The valHe of the capital assets was determined by an appraisal made by the board of education edu-cation this year. The former practice prac-tice of writing off depreciation has been discontinued. "The present practice will establish at each appraisal ap-praisal date a value of marked ac-curancy, ac-curancy, more so than the depreciation deprecia-tion practice," the report states. .During the period of the audit. It is pointed out, insurance has been changed from specific building and equipment arrangement to a blanket form. Should there be a fire loss, such a loss would be appraised and the claim paid accordingly, and regardless re-gardless of when or where the fire occurred. . A schedule shows in detail the bond issues of the district, with offsetting off-setting retirement and refunding operations. ' Total bonded indebtedness indebted-ness is shown to be $323,000, and according ac-cording to the plan .of repayment, these issues will be paid off between now and 1951. The highest payment planned in any one year is shown as $37,000, with the highest for any two year period, $74,000. Declared to be one of the most commendable things the school board has accomplished is the payment pay-ment of $119,000 in bonds during the two year period. This is brought out in the report. The report states that "all disbursements dis-bursements have been carefully checked In detail, each voucher audited au-dited and verified with the minutes of the Clerk. The payroll record has been completely checked to find all checks issued in order and the totals correct as carried forward in the warrant register. All payments appear ap-pear to be entirely in order, being prepared on the regular claim form furnished by the district and appearing ap-pearing in the minutes to properly authorize the Clerk to make various payments." Records and accounts of the district dis-trict have been handled in a most careful manner, the report states. "The minutes of all meetings of the Board were up-to-date and In every detail complete. The contacts made during the course of this audit indicate indi-cate competent and efficient handling hand-ling of the monies and affairs of the district. Economy and accuracy is evident throughout the office." Recommendations made by Mr. Meredith include: To follow the regulations of the State and Federal government requiring re-quiring all claims, regardless of size or origin to be completely notarized. The district could maintain a notary at the office for this purpose. Adoption of a pertual inventory method for supplies, and strict accounting ac-counting for distribution of materials mater-ials from the warehouse. Formation of a purchasing board or committee for the district, including includ-ing the clerk, two members of the board, and either the superintendent or one supervisor. Purchases once passed on by such a committee could definitely be in order for payment when presented before payment before be-fore the entire board. At present, "the method of supplying needs seems to be taken care of by various members of the board, superintendent superinten-dent and supervisors, and later approved ap-proved by the board." P.-T.
