N.A.A. <br /> 617-423-3555 <br /> September <br />• 19 <br /> 1979 <br /> To The Board of Selectmen <br />• Town of Mashpee <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts <br /> Gentlemen: <br />• We have examined the Financial Statements of the various <br /> funds and account group of the Town of Mashpee for the year ended <br /> June 30, 1979, listed in the foregoing table of contents. Our <br /> examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing <br /> standards, and accordingly, included such tests of the accounting <br />• records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary <br /> in the circumstances. <br /> The Town maintains its financial records on a basis <br /> prescribed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which practices <br /> differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting <br /> • principles set forth in pronouncements of the American Institute of <br /> Certified Public Accountants and the National Committee on Governmental <br /> Accounting. The principal differences are: <br /> The use of the cash method to record revenues <br /> • other than real estate and personal property <br /> taxes, whereas generally accepted accounting <br /> principles require the use of the modified <br /> accrual basis; <br /> • A record of general fixed assets is not <br /> required by the Commonwealth; and <br /> The pension expense is recorded on the <br /> pay-as-you-go method, whereas generally <br /> • accepted accounting principles require <br /> the use of a method which results, as a <br /> minimum, in a provision for pension <br /> expense equal to the sum of normal cost <br /> • - CHARLES E.
