f <br /> MELANSON, GREENWOOD <br /> & COMPANY, P.C. <br /> CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS <br /> To the Board of Selectmen <br /> x Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts <br /> r <br /> We have audited the financial statements of the Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts, <br /> as of and for the year ended June 30, 1993, and have issued our report thereon <br /> dated September 10, 1993. As part of our audit, we made a study and evaluation of <br /> ' <br /> the Towns system of internal accounting Y control to the extent we considered <br /> necessary to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted auditing <br /> standards. Under these standards, the purpose of such evaluations are to establish a <br /> basis for reliance on the system of internal accounting control in determining the <br /> x <br /> nature timing, and extent of other auditing procedures that are necessary for <br /> expressing an opinion on the financial statements. <br /> The management of the Town of Mashpee, Massachusetts, is responsible for <br /> establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control. In fulfilling this <br /> responsibility, estimates and judgments by them are required to assess the expected <br /> benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of such a system are <br /> to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that assets are safeguarded <br /> against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in <br /> accordance with required authorization and recorded properly to permit the <br /> preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting <br /> principles. <br /> k <br /> Because of inherent limitations in any system of internal accounting control, errors or <br /> irregularities may still occur without being detected. Also, projection of any evaluation <br /> of the system to future periods is subject to the risks that procedures may become <br /> inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with <br /> the procedures may deteriorate. <br /> :1 <br /> 1 <br />
