Scope and Content Note

The series consists of field audit reports for various counties, cities, towns and villages. The reports were generated pursuant to Article 3 of the Municipal Law, which mandated state review of municipal fiscal policies and procedures and required municipalities to follow standard procedures relating to financial transactions. Examinations were conducted irregularly and unsystematically and, therefore, reports were not done for every municipality during the period indicated.

Each report includes a narrative summary of the examiner's findings noting any fiscal shortcomings and/or malpractice; tabulations of cash transactions, disbursements, and indebtedness; and a list of municipal officials at the time of the audit.
