Except as discussed m the followmg paragraph, we conducted our audit m accordance with audltmg standards gencrally acceptcd m the UnIted States of Amenca and the standards applIcable to financial audits contamed m Governmcnt Audltmg Standards, Issucd by the Comptroller General of the UnIted States Those standards reqUIre that we plan and perform the audit to obtaIn reasonable assurance about whcther the financIal statements are free of matcnal mIsstatement An audit mcludes eXaImnIng. on a test basIS, eVIdence supportmg the aInounts and disclosures m the finanCial statements An audit also mcludes assessmg the accountmg pnnclples uscd and signIficant estimates made by management, as well as evaluatmg thc overall finanCial statement presentatIon We belIeve that our audit provides a reasonable basIS for our opInIon

As descnbed m the notes to the general-purpose financial statements, the Board of EducatIon's finanCial statements have been prepared usmg certam accountmg practIces and poliCies winch, m our oplmon, vary m some respects from generally acccpted accounting pnnclples These vanances are descnbed as follows
The general-purpose financial statements of the Board of EducatIOn did not contam a General Fixed Assets Account Group to account for property and eqUipment owned by the Board of EducatIon which should be mcluded to conform to generally acccpted accountmg pnnclples
School actIVity accounts maIntamed at the indiVidual schools arc not Included m the general-purpose financial statements To conform to generally accepted accounting pnnclples, these accounts should be Included In the general-purpose financial statements
The Board of EducatIon did not recognize as expenditures, In the year ended June 30, 2002, a portion of salanes and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed pnor to June 30, 2002 Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 2002, from the Georgia Dcpartment of EducatIOn for the State's share of these unrecorded salanes and related benefits were not recorded as revenue m the year under review Conversely, the Similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed pnor to June 30, 2001, were Improperly recorded m the year ended June 30, 2002 To conform to generally acccpted accountIng pnnclples, revenues should be recorded when available and measurable and expenditures should be recorded when mcurred, rather than when funds are received or disbursed
The aggregate effects on the general-purpose finanCial statements of these vanances or omiSSions have not been determined, but are believed to be matenal

AGENCY FUND - the funds used to account for assets held m a fidUCiary capacity for other funds, governments, or indiVIduals.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accountmg and finanCial reportmg treatment applIed to a fund IS determined by Its measurement focus All governmental funds are accounted for usmg a current finanCial resources measurement focus With thiS measurement focus, only current assets and current lIabilIties generally are mcluded on the balance sheet Operatmg statements of these funds present mcreases (I e ,revenues and other financmg sources) and decreases (i e , expendItures and other finanCing uses) m net current assets Their reported fund balance IS considered a measure of aVailable spendable resources
LiabIlIties which are expected to be financed from aVailable spendable resources are reported as lIabilIties m the governmental funds
Agcncy funds are purely custodial m nature and do not mvolve measurement ofresults ofoperations.
Governmental funds are accounted for usmg the modIfied accrual basiS of accountmg under which
Revenues are recogmzed when susceptible to accrual (I e., when they become both measurable and available) "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determmed and "avaJ!able" means collectible wlthm the current penod or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay lIabilIties of the current penod The School Dlstnct considers receivables collected wlthm sixty days after yearend to be available Property taxes, sales taxes and mterest are conSidered to be susceptible to accrual Nonexchange transactions, m which the School Dlstnct gives (or receives) value WithOUt directly recelvmg (or glvmg) equal value m exchange, mclude property taxes, local option sales taxes, Intergovernmental grants and donations. Revenue for property taxes IS recogrnzed m the fiscal year for which the taxes are leVIed Revenue from sales taxes IS recognIzed m the fiscal year the resources are received or susceptible to accrual Revenue from grants and donatlons IS recogmzed m the fiscal year In whIch all elIgIbIlIty reqUirements have been satisfied
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund lIabilIty IS mcurred

In our OpinIOn, the Appling County Board of Education complied, In all matenal respects, With the requIrements referred to above that are applIcable to each of ItS major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2002

Internal Control Over Compliance

The management of Appling County Board of Education IS responsible for establishing and malntalnmg effective Internal control over complIance With requIrements of laws, regulatIOns, contracts and grants applicable to Federal programs In planrung and perfonmng our audit, we considered Appling County Board of Education's Internal control over compliance WIth reqwrements that could have a direct and matenal effect on a major Federal program III order to determme our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressmg our opinIOn on compliance and to test and report on Internal control over compliance In accordance WIth OMB Circular A-133.

We noted certam matters mvolvlng the Internal control over compliance and Its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions Reportable conditiOns mvolve matters commg to our attention relatmg to Significant defiCienCies In the deSign or operatIOn ofthe mternal control over compliance that, m our Judgment, could adversely affect the Appling County Board of Education's abilIty to administer a major Federal program In accordance With applicable requirements oflaws, regulations, contracts and grants Reportable conditions are descnbed In the accompanYing Schedule ofFmdlngs and Questioned Costs as Items FA-6011-02-01, FA-6011-02-02, FA-6011-02-03 and FA-6011-0204

A matenal weakness IS a condition In which the deSign or operatIOn of one or more of the mternal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level of nsk that noncomplIance With the applicable reqwrements oflaws, regulatIOns, contracts and grants that would be matenal In relation to a major Federal program bemg audited may occur and not be detected Wlthm a tImely penod by employees In the normal course of performing their asSigned functions. Our consideratIOn of the Internal control over compliance would not necessanly disclose all matters In the Internal control that mIght be reportable condillons and, accordingly, would not necessanly disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be matenal weaknesses However, we believe none of the reportable conditions descnbed above IS a matenal weakness.

ThiS report IS Intended solely for the informatIOn and use of the management, members of the ApplIng County Board of Education, Federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and IS not Intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties
