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 througll E) of the Department of Defense as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the budgetary statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of the Department of Defense.
A review consists principally of inquiries of agency 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, 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 the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there were no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 1. The accompanying supplementary information (Schedules 1 through 5) is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiries and
94ARL-4
analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe financial statements and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto.
Respectfully submitted,

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1994
EXIIlBIT "E"
NOTE l: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY The Department ofDefense, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, is part of the executive branch of the government of the State of Georgia. The Department was created by an act of the General Assembly (O.C.G.A. 38-2-130), and presently consists ofa Military Division and Administrative Services Division. The Adjutant General is the Executive Officer of the Department. The tenure of office of the Adjutant General is at the pleasure of the Governor, who is designated as Commander-in-Chief of all militia and other military and naval forces of the State of Georgia.
The Department of Defense does not have authority to determine the amount of funding it will receive from the State of Georgia for any given fiscal year. Such authority is vested in the General Assembly of Georgia. The Department also does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, the Department of Defense is included within the State of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational and financial relationships with the State of Georgia. These reporting entity relationships are defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
FUND ACCOUNTING The Department ofDefense uses a fund and account groups to report on its financial position and the results of its operations determined in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State of Georgia. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. An account group, on the other hand, is a financial reporting device designed to provide accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in the funds because they do not directly affect net expendable available financial resources. The fund and account groups presented in the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE
BUDGET FUND - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Amended Appropriations Act of 1993-1994. The Budget Fund is similar in nature to a General Fund as identified in generally accepted accounting principles in that the Budget Fund is used to account for all activities except those required to be accounted for in some other fund.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS - The account group used to account for fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations. Fixed assets purchased are recorded at historical cost. 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 general fixed assets.

NOTE I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FUND ACCOUNTING
ACCOUNT GROUPS
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT - The account group used to report the noncurrent portions of certain governmental long-term liabilities, such as claims, judgments and compensated absences, which will be paid from future resources.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING MEASUREMENT FOCUS
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. Governmental funds should be accounted for using the current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements ofthese funds present increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenditures) in net current assets.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGET FUND
Except as disclosed in the following paragraphs, units of government of the State of Georgia record their Budget Fund revenues and expenditures in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Revenues that are accrued include primarily State appropriations, Federal grants and entitlements, and certain amounts earned under operating agreements with other parties. Further,
the modified accrual basis ofaccounting calls for expenditures, other than accrued interest of general long-term
debt, to be recorded when the related fund liability is incurred.
Contractual obligations for services which have not been performed and for goods which have not been delivered at the end of the 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 ofthe 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.
Prior period adjustments and certain other items are reported as additions to and deductions from fund balances ofthe Budget Fund in the accompanying financial statements. This presentation is in accordance with

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGET FUND
accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, but differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that immaterial adjustments should be reported as current period revenues and expenditures.
BUDGET Appropriation allotments to the Department of Defense are on the basis of a budget submitted by the Department and approved by the Legislature and the Governor. The budget is compiled in the same manner as all State departments and expenditures are classified by budget unit object classes as provided in Act No. 608 of Georgia Laws 1993 (as approved April 28, 1993) and amended by Act No. 622 of Georgia Laws 1994 (as approved February 8, 1994), which is an appropriated budget and is referred to in these notes as the Amended Appropriations Act of 1993-1994.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions.
INVENTORIES No inventories of supplies are reported in the current financial statements. Expendable supplies are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase.
RESERVED FUND BALANCE Reserves represent those portions of fund equity not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use. The following is a brief description of the reserves reflected in the accompanying financial statements:
FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The residual portion ofFederal financial assistance revenues not yet expended or encumbered. This amount is restricted for expenditure in future years. This accounting treatment differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that the unearned portion of Federal financial assistance should be reflected as Deferred Revenue.
ARMORY FUNDS The residual portion of non-appropriated revenues not yet expended or encumbered for all State National Guard Armories. Balances in this fund are reserved so that no part thereof will be deposited in the general treasury.
BILLETING FUNDS The residual portion of non-appropriated revenues not yet expended or encumbered for all State billeting units. Balances in this fund are reserved so that no part thereof will be deposited in the general treasury.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
COMPENSATED ABSENCES Compensated absences represent obligations of the Department relating to employee's rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon services already rendered. This obligation relates only to vesting accumulating annual leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No liability has been recorded in the individual funds for the current portion of this obligation as this amount will not be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Funds are provided in the appropriation of funds each year to the Department to cover the cost of annual leave paid to terminated employees.
The liability for compensated absences at year end is reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group for governmental funds.
MEMORANDUM ONLY -TOTAL COLUMNS Total columns on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis) are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither are such data comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
COMPARATIVE DATA Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in the accompanying financial statements in order to provide an understanding of changes in the Department's financial position and operations. However, comparative data have not been presented in all statements because their inclusion would make certain statements unduly complex and difficult to understand.
NOTE 2: CUSTODIAL CREDIT RISKS OF CASH DEPOSITS
STATE OF GEORGIA COLLATERALIZATION STATUTES AND POLICIES Funds of the State of Georgia 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 ofthe following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
(1) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.
(2) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia.

PRIOR YEAR/CURRENT YEAR
ACCOUNTING CONTROLS (OVERALL) - Financial Statements ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS - Federal Financial Assistance Inadequate Separation of Duties Other Federal Assistance . Drug Control and System Improvement (CFDA 16.579) Audit Control Number 411-94-01
The review report for the year ended June 30, 1993, noted that internal accounting control procedures ofthe Department of Defense did not provide for an adequate separation of duties in the performance of certain accounting functions and related procedures. For the year under review. a limited review ofthese procedures revealed that the Department had made no significant changes that would provide for an adequate separation of duties in the following control categories:
( 1) Cash and Cash Equivalents
(2) Revenues/Receivables/Receipts
(3) General Ledger
(4) General Fixed Assets/Property Management
The Department should review the accounting procedures in place, design procedures which would enhance segregation of duties relative to the above control categories, and implement those procedures to strengthen the internal controls over the accounting function.
