Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Bulloch County Board of Education
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen
We have audited the accompanying general-purpose financial statements of the Bulloch County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, as listed in the table of contents These general-purpose financial statements arc the respons1b1hty of the Bulloch County Board of F-.,ducallon's management Our respons1b1hty 1s to express an opinion on these general-purpose financial statements based on our audit
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of Amcnca and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the Umted States Those standards reqmre that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements arc free of matenal misstatement An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and s1gm ficant csllm.ites made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement prescntat10n We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion
As dcscnbed in the notes to the general-purpose financial statements, the Board of Education's financial statements have been prepared using certain accounting practices and pohc1es which, in our opinion, vary in some respects from generally accepted accounting pnnc1plcs These variances arc desenhcd as follows

2002ARL-13

* The general-purpose financial statements of the Board of Education did not contain a
General Fixed Assets Account Group to account for property and eqmpmcnt owned by the Board of Educal!on which should be included to conform lo generally accepted accounting pnnc1plcs
* School ac1Iv1ty accounts mamtaincd at the ind1v1dual schools are not included m the
general-purpose financial statements To conform to generally accepted accounting pnnc1ples. these accounts should be included in the general-purpose financial statements
The aggregate effects on the general-purpose financial statements of these vanances or om1ss1ons have not been determined, but are beheved to be material
In our opm1on, except for the effects on the general-purpose financial statements of the matters referred to in the preceding paragraph, the general-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all matenal respects, the financial pos1t1on of the Bulloch County Board of Educat10n as ofJune 30, 2002, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting pnnc1ples generally accepted in the Umted States of Arnenca
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 4, 2003, on our cons1derat10n of the Bulloch County Board of Educat10n's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its comphance with certain prov1s1ons of laws, regulat1ons, contracts and grants That report 1s an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conJunct1on with this report in cons1denng the results of our audit
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements of the Bulloch County Board of Educat10n taken as a whole. The accompanying combmmg statements (Exh1b1ts E through H) and the financial schedules (Schedules I through 4). which includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as reqmred by U S.

ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A financial reporting device used to account for general obhgat10n debt outstanding
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment apphed to a fund 1s determined by its measurement focus All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus With this measurement focus, only current assets and current hab1h\les generally are included on the balance sheet Operating statements of these funds present increases (1 e , revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (1 e, expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets Their reported fund balance 1s considered a measure of available spendable resources
Liab1h1Ies which are expected to be financed from available spendable resources are reported as hab1hlles in the governmental funds Other hab1hhes, which are not expected to be financed from available spendable resources, are reported in the General Long-Tenn Debt Account Group
Governmental funds are accounted for usmg the modified accrual basis of accounting under which
Revenues arc rccogmzed when susceptible to accrual (1 e , when they become both measurable and available) "Measurable" means the amount of the transact10n can be determined and "available" means collec!Jble within the current penod or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay hab1ht1cs of the current penod The School D1stnct considers receivables collected within sixty days after yearend to be available Property taxes, sales taxes and interest are considered to be suscepl!blc to accrual Nonexchange transactions, m which the School D1stncl gives (or receives) value wllhout directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, local option sales laxes, intergovernmental grant~ and donations Revenue for property taxes 1s rccogmzed m the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied Revenue from sales taxes 1s rccognued in the fiscal year the resources are received or susceptible to accrual Revenue from grants and donations 1s recogmzed in the fiscal year in which all ehg1b1hty requirements have been satisfied
