Reporting Entity Atlanta Metropolitan College is one of thirty-five (35) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Atlanta Metropolitan College as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. 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. Atlanta Metropolitan College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Atlanta Metropolitan College is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reportinp Standards.
Net Assets The College's net assets are classified as follows:
Investdin capitalassets, net of related debt: This represents the College's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of invested in capital assets, net of related debt.
Restricted net asse& - expendable: Restricted expendable net assets include resources in which the
College is legally or contractually obligated to spend resources in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.
Unrestrided net asseb: Unrestricted net assets represent resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus) of $30,385.58. Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the Office of the State Treasurer. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially self-supporting activities that provide services for students, faculty and staff.
Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the College) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated
Section 50-17-59:

Note 10: Retirement Plans
Atlanta Metropolitan College participates in the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) of Georgia, a retirement plans administered by the State of Georgia. TRS issues a separate publicly available financial report that includes the applicable financial statements and required supplementary information. The report may be obtained from the system office. The significant retirement plans that Atlanta Metropolitan College participates in are described below. More detailed information can be found in the plan agreements and related legislation. Each plan, including benefit and contribution provisions, was established and can be amended by State law.
Teachers Retirement System of Georgia
The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plan created in 1943 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly to provide retirement benefits for qualifying employees in educational service. A Board of Trustees comprised of active and retired members and ex-officio State employees is ultimately responsible for the administration of TRS.
On October 25, 1996, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan of the Georgia Teachers Retirement System (SRBP-TRS). SRBP-TRS was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of TRS. The purpose of SRBP-TRS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by TRS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning July 1,1997, all members and retired former members in TRS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-TRS whenever their benefits under TRS exceed the IRC Section 415 imposed limitation on benefits.
TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits. The benefit structure of TRS is defined and may be amended by State statute. A member is eligible for normal service retirement after 3 0 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 1 0 years of service and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service.
Normal retirement (pension) benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 4 0 years. Early retirement benefits are reduced by the lesser of onetwelfth of 7% for each month the member is below age 6 0 or by 7% for each year or fraction thereof by which the member has less than 30 years of service. It is also assumed that certain cost-of-living adjustments, based on the Consumer Price Index, will be made in future years. Retirement benefits are payable monthly for life. A member may elect to receive a partial lumpsum distribution in addition to a reduced monthly retirement benefit. Death, disability and spousal benefits are also available.
TRS is funded by member and employer contributions as adopted and amended by the Board of Trustees. Members become fully vested after 10 years of service. If a member terminates with less than 1 0 years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions may be refunded with interest. Member contributions are limited by State law to not less than 5% or more than 6% of a member's earnable compensation. Member contributions as
adopted by the Board of Trustees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2 0 1 1 were 5.53% of annual
salary. Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2 0 1 1 were 10.28% of annual salary as required by the June 30, 2009 actuarial valuation.

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 47-21-1et.seq. and administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible College system employee" is a faculty member or a principal administrator, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts from four approved vendors (AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.
Funding Policy Atlanta Metropolitan College makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2011, the employer contribution was 9.24% for the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 5%of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Atlanta Metropolitan College and the covered employees made the required contributions of $129,231 (9.24%) and $69,930 (5%),respectively.
AIG-VALIC, American Century, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Atlanta Metropolitan College participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a singleemployer defined contribution plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.

ATLANTA METROPOLrrAN COLLEGE SELECTED FINANCIAL NOTES JUNE 30, 2011
Benefits A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $3,500 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. Upon the death of a member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%)of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2 0 1 1 amounted to $83,199 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Note 11: Post-Em-dovmentBenefits Other ThanPension BenefiOF
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 20-3-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these postemployment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
The Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Plan is a single employer defined benefit plan. Financial statements and required supplementary information for the Plan are included in the publicly available Consolidated Annual Financial Report of the University System of Georgia. The College pays the employer portion of health insurance for its eligible retirees based on rates that are established annually by the Board of Regents for the upcoming plan year. For the 2010 and 2 0 1 1 plan years, the employer rate was between 70-75% of the total health insurance cost for eligible retirees and the retiree rate was between 25-30%.
As of June 30, 2011, there were 67 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2011, Atlanta Metropolitan College recognized as incurred $257,558 of expenditures, which was net of $138,899 of participant contributions.

ATLANTA METROPOLITAN COLLEGE SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS, QUESTIONED COSTS AND OTHER ITEMS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 3 0 , 2 0 1 1

FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND OUESTIONED COSTS

REVENUES/RECEIVABLES/RECEIPTS Inadequate Uncollectible Accounts Receivable Procedures Significant Deficiency Finding Control Number: FS-561-11-01

Condition:

The accounting procedures of the College are insufficient to ensure that uncollectible receivables are being properly reflected in the financial statements.

Criteria:

The College's management is responsible for designing and maintaining policies and procedures that ensure that receivable activity is properly documented, processed, and reported.

Questioned Cost:

N/A

Information:

Our review of the College's aging analysis and year end GAAP entry to record Allowance for Doubtful Accounts revealed that the College did not set up an allowance for those items 181days and older due to a misinterpretation of the policies and procedures provided by the University System of Georgia.

Cause:

The College's management failed to implement procedures to ensure that amounts reported on the financial statements were appropriately stated.

Effect:

Failure to have procedures in place over the aging of receivables could result in the College placing itself in a position where misrepresentation of its financial position and results of operations could occur.

Recommendation:

The College should design and implement accounts receivable aging procedures and review these balances for uncollectible receivables.

FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

No matters were reported.

OTHER ITEMS [NOTED FOR MANAGEMENT'SCONSIDERATION)

INVALID BALANCE SHEET ITEMS Testing revealed numerous invalid prepaid expenses, deferred revenues, and other liabilities over one year old.
