Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly of Georgia Members ofthe Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
and Honorable Homer Day, President Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S COMBINED REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements (Exhibits A through D) of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation ofthe management of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
A review consists principally ofinquiries ofCollege personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, with the exception ofthe matters described in the fourth and fifth paragraphs, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles require encumbrances to be recorded as a reservation offund balance. However, in accordance with Georgia Law and State budgetary policy, management recorded encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities. The effects of this departure from generally accepted accounting principles on the financial statements were not reasonably determinable.

OOARL-67

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the ColIege did not report the liability and related expenditure for compensated absences in the current funds as required by generally accepted accounting principles. If compensated absences were reported, liabilities would be increased and fund balance would be decreased by $653,688.37 as of June 30, 2000, and the net change in fund balance for the year ended June 30, 2000, would be increased by $8,205.98.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E through G) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 5) are presented for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiries and analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe financial statements, and except for the effects ofthe matters discussed in the fourth and fifth paragraphs, we are not aware of any material modifications which should be made thereto.
Respectfully submitted,
State Auditor

ABRAHAM BALDWIN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES TOTHEFINANCLALSTATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000

EXHIBIT "D"

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is one ofthirty-four (34) State supported member institutions ofhigher education in Georgia which comprise the University System ofGeorgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System ofGeorgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is considered an organizational unit ofthe Board ofRegents ofthe University System ofGeorgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board ofRegents as defined in Section 2100 ofthe Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Re.porting Standards.
FUND ACCOUNTING In order to ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources available to the College, the accounts ofthe College are maintained in accordance with the principles offund accounting. This is the procedure bywhich resources for various purposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds that are in accordance with activities or objectives specified. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund; however, in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have similar characteristics have been combined into fund groups. Accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group.
Within each fund group, the College's fund balance allocations and designations represent those portions ofthe fund balances that are reserved, restricted and/or designated for specific future use by legal covenants, State policies, or institutional policies.
Fund groups and funds presented in the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
CURRENT FUNDS
UNRESTRICTED - The fund used to account for those economic resources over which the College retains full control to use for purposes of performing the primary functions of the College, e.g., instruction, public service, etc.
RESTRICTED - The fund used to record externally restricted funds which may onlybe utilized in accordance with the purposes established by their source. Restricted current funds are recorded as revenues and expenditures when expended for current operating purposes.

NOTE I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTmG POLICIES
FUND ACCOUNTING
LOAN FUNDS
The fund used to account for resources which have been made available for financial loans to students.
PLANT FUNDS
UNEXPENDED - The fund used to account for financial resources utilized to acquire or to construct physical properties for institutional purposes.
RENEWALS AND REPLACEMENTS - The fund used to account for resources set aside for the renewal and replacement ofinstitutional properties.
INVESTMENT m PLANT - The fund which shows the total amounts representing the book value of all physical properties owned by the College. Net Investment in Plant is an equity account showing the total book value of physical properties belonging to the College less the amount of any indebtedness to others.
AGENCY FUNDS
The fund used to account for resources held by the College as custodian or fiscal agent for individual students, faculty, staff members, and organizations.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Except as otherwise disclosed in these notes, the financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is materially the same as the accrual basis of accounting applicable to colleges and universities prescribed in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' audit guide reporting model. The modified accrual basis ofaccounting is defined as that method ofaccounting in which expenditures, other than accrued interest on general long-term debt, are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred and revenues are recorded when available and measurable to finance expenditures of the fiscal period.
Contractual obligations for goods and services which have not been received at the end ofthe fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. This accounting practice causes expenditure-driven grant revenues to be accrued based, in part, on the unexecuted portion of contracts for goods and services. The recognition of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, but is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, which provide for the recording of encumbrances as a reservation of fund balance. Further, revenue recognition for expenditure-driven grants should be based upon expenditures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Compensated absences represent obligations ofthe College relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon services already rendered. This obligation relates only to vesting accumulated annual leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The compensated absences liability of $653,688.37 and a related net reduction of current year expenditures of $8,205.98 have not been reported in the current funds as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Prior period adjustments and certain other items are reported as additions to and deductions from fund balances of current funds in the accompanying financial statements. This presentation is in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State ofGeorgia, but differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that immaterial adjustments should be reported as current period revenues and expenditures. The effect of this departure is deemed to be immaterial to the fair presentation of the financial statements.
To the extent that Current Funds and Plant Funds are used to finance plant assets, the amounts so provided are accounted for as expenditures. The balances shown on the Combined Balance Sheet as Net Investment in Plant reflect the accumulated expenditures made for plant facilities through Current Funds and Plant Funds and also include expenditures made for plant facilities expended by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission on behalf ofthe College. Donated fixed assets are recorded at fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at recorded values. No depreciation has been provided on physical plant and equipment.
It is the policy of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College to record assets acquired through capital leases as additions to Investment in Plant as payments are made by the College. The liability for such leases at fiscal year-end is not recorded on the Combined Balance Sheet. This presentation differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that the assets and the related liability resulting from capital leases should be recorded in Investment in Plant at the inception of the agreement at the net present value of the future minimum lease payments, not to exceed the fair value of the leased property. The effect of this departure is deemed to be immaterial to the fair presentation of the financial statements.
The Statement of Current Funds Revenues, Expenditures, and Other Changes is a statement of financial activities of current funds related to the current reporting period. It does not purport to present the results of operations or the net income or loss for the period as would a statement of income or a statement of revenues and expenses.
BUDGET The Board ofRegents ofthe University System ofGeorgia - Administrative Central Office receives State appropriation allotments for units of the University System of Georgia. The appropriated budget is adopted at the Board level and represents appropriations provided by the Amended Appropriations Act of 1999-2000. The appropriated budget covers current funds and plant funds,

ABRAHAM BALDWIN AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2000

EXHIBIT "D"

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUDGET except for Auxiliary Enterprises and Student Activities which are not subject to appropriation. The allocation ofthe appropriated budget is made to the College by the Administrative Central Office. In addition, the College receives Federal funds and other funds directly and includes these funds in the budget filed with the Administrative Central Office.

A comparison ofanticipated funds available and budgeted expenditures by budget unit object class indicates that the following object classes were overspent by the amounts identified below:

Resident Instruction Personal Services: Sponsored Operations Operating Expenses: Education, General and Departmental Services Sponsored Operations Capital Outlay

$ 24,172.28
$ 101.070.40 $ 348,024.22 $ 293,700.38

These overexpenditures of budget constitute a violation of Board of Regents policy, but do not constitute statutory violations of budget authority. Statutory violations of budget authority are reported at the Board object class level.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash and demand deposits in authorized fmancial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Accounts receivable consist ofreimbursements due from Federal, State, local, and private grants and contracts, and other receivables disclosed from information available. No provision has been made for an allowance for doubtful accounts within the accompanying financial statements.

INVENTORIES Inventories of goods for resale are valued at cost using the first-in, first-out method.

PREPAID ITEMS Prepaid items are payments made to vendors in advance ofthe receipt ofgoods and services that will benefit periods subsequent to the balance sheet date.

NOTE 5: RISK MANAGEMENT
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is a participant in the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia Health Benefits Plan, which is a self-insurance program of health and dental benefits for employees and retirees of the University System of Georgia. The College and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to the Health Benefits Plan for this health insurance coverage. The Health Benefits Plan is included in the financial statements ofthe Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - Administrative Central Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims of the Health Benefits Plan. The Health Benefits Plan is considered a self-sustaining risk fund that provides health coverage for its members up to a maximum lifetime benefit of$l ,000,000.00 per person and dental coverage up to an annual maximum of $1 ,000.00 per person. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield ofGeorgia to process claims in accordance with the Health Benefits Plan as established by the Board of Regents.
The Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia ofmaking and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects ofaccidental losses that involve State government assets. The State believes it is more economical to manage its risks internally and set aside assets for claim settlement. Accordingly, DOAS processes claims for risk of loss to which the State is exposed, including general liability, property and casualty, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, and law enforcement officers' indemnification. Limited amounts of commercial insurance are purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. The College, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, is part of the State of Georgia reporting entity, and as such, is covered by the State of Georgia risk management program administered by DOAS. Premiums for the risk management program are charged to the various state organizations by DOAS to provide claims servicing and claims payment.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of

their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a SelfInsurance Fund.

NOTE 6: RETffiEMENTPLANS

TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
