INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION - SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements ofthe governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information (Exhibits A through H) ofthe Bulloch County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006, which collectively comprise the Board's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Bulloch County Board ofEducation's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free ofmaterial 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 significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our op1mons.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information ofthe Bulloch County Board ofEducation, as ofJune 30, 2006, and the respective changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
2006ARL-11

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 14, 2007, on our consideration of the Bulloch County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose ofthat report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Schedule ofRevenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Budget and Actual, as presented on pages i through viii and page 25 respectively, are not a required part ofthe basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods ofmeasurement and presentation ofthe required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Bulloch County Board of Education's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information which consist of Schedules 2 through 5, which includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits ofStates, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements, and in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy of this report has been filed as a permanent record in the office of the State Auditor and made available to the press of the State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated section 50-6-24.
Respectfully submitted,

BULLOCH COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Our discussion and analysis of the Bulloch County School District's financial performance provides an overview of the School District's financial activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The intent of this discussion and analysis is to look at the School District's financial performance as a whole; readers should also review the notes to the basic financial statements and financial statements to enhance their understanding of the School District's financial performance.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Key financial highlights for 2006 are as follows:
On the District-wide financial statements, the assets of the School District exceeded liabilities by $76.6 million. Of this amount, $11.7 million is unrestricted and is available for spending at the School District's discretion.
The School District had $75.3 million in expenses relating to governmental activities; only $52.2 million of these expenses are offset by program specific charges for services, grants and contributions. General revenues (primarily property and sales taxes) of $38.8 million and fund balance were adequate to provide for these programs.
As stated above, general revenues accounted for $38.8 million, or 43%, of all revenues totaling $91.0 million. Program specific revenues in the form of charges for services, grants and contributions accounted for the rest.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This report consists of several parts including management's discussion and analysis, the basic financial statements and required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two levels of statements that present different views of the School District. These include the District-wide and fund financial statements.
The District-wide financial statements include the Statement of Net Assets and Statement of Activities. These statements provide information about the activities of the School District presenting both short-term and long-term information about the School District's overall financial status.
The fund financial statements focus on individual parts of the School District, reporting the School District's operation in more detail. The Governmental Funds statements disclose how basic services are financed in the short-term as well as what remains for future spending. The Fiduciary Funds statement provides information about the financial relationships in which the School District acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others. The fund financial statements reflect the School District's most significant funds. In the case of the Bulloch County School District, the General Fund, District-wide Capital Projects Funds, and Debt Service Funds are the most significant funds.

BULLOCH COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the statements and provide more detailed data. The statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and supports the financial statements. Additionally, other supplementary information (not required) is also presented that further supplements understanding of the financial statements.
District-wide Statements
The District-wide financial statements are basically a consolidation of all of the School District's operating funds into one column called governmental activities. In reviewing the District-wide financial statements, a reader might ask the question about whether the School District is in a better financial position than last year? The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities provides the basis for answering this question. These financial statements include all School District's assets and liabilities and uses the accrual basis of accounting similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. This basis of accounting takes into account all of the current year's revenues and expenses regardless of when cash is received or paid.
These two statements report the School District's net assets and any changes in those assets. The change in net assets is important because it tells the reader that, for the School District as a whole, the financial position of the School District has improved or diminished. The causes of this change may be the results of many factors, including those not under the School District's control, such as the property tax base, facility conditions, required educational programs and other factors.
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities reflects the School District's governmental activities.
Fund Financial Statements
The School District uses many funds to account for a multitude of financial transactions during the fiscal year. However, the fund financial statements presented in this report provide detail information about only the School District's significant or major funds.
Governmental Funds
Most of the School District's activities are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end available for spending in future periods. These funds are reported using the modified accrual method of accounting which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the School District's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance educational programs. The differences between governmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and governmental funds are reconciled within the financial statements.

Fiduciary Funds

The School District is the trustee, or fiduciary, for assets that belong to others, such as school clubs and organizations within the principals' accounts. The School District is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used only for their intended purposes and by those to whom the assets belong. The School District excludes these activities from the Districtwide financial statements because it cannot use these assets to finance its operations.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S FUNDS

The School District's governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. The governmental funds had total revenues of $91.1 million and total expenditures of $91.9 million. The excess of expenditures over revenues was the result of capital outlay expenditures which were offset by fund balance. These revenues were collected in fiscal year 2004 from the sale of the 2004 Series General Obligation Bonds.

General Fund Budgeting Highlights

The School District's budget is prepared according to Georgia Law. The most significant budgeted fund is the General Fund, which includes local, state and Federal funds collected and disbursed for the purpose of operating the school system.

-v-

BULLOCH COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

The School District uses site-based budgeting as a part of the budget process. The budgeting systems are designed to control total site budgets but provide flexibility for site management.

For the General Fund, the actual revenues of $76.9 million were over the final budgeted amount of $70.9 million by $6.0 million. This difference (actual vs. final budget) was due to sales tax collections, state funding formula collections, Federal funds collections, service charge collections, and interest income collections in excess of budgeted amounts, the occurrence of pass-through grants and stipends, as well as the inclusion of the principals' accounts in the financial statements but not in the budget.

The actual expenditures of $72.0 million were approximately the same as the final budgeted amount of $72.0 million.

General Fund revenues exceeded expenditures by $4.9 million.

CAPITAL ASSETS AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION

Capital Assets

At fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the School District had $63 .4 million invested in capital assets, all in governmental activities. Table 4 reflects a summary of these balances net of accumulated depreciation. The School District has developed a facilities plan to construct and improve three high schools and three elementary schools. These capital expenditures will be funded by combined Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) revenues, General Obligation Bond proceeds, and state capital outlay funding. In September, 2005, the voters of Bulloch County approved early re-imposition of the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, to be collected between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2013, to provide additional resources to complete this facilities plan.

BULLOCH COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

Debt

In September, 2003, voters approved a 1% Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST) in conjunction with a $38 million General Obligation Bond issuance, for the purpose of building new schools. The ESPLOST, collected between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2008, will be used to retire the bonds. In addition, in September, 2005, the voters approved an early re-imposition of the ESPLOST, to be collected between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2013. General Obligation Bonds were approved in conjunction with the second ESPLOST but these bonds have not been issued. In January, 2005, the Bulloch County Board of Education issued $12.835 million in General Obligation Refunding Bonds to advance refund $12.295 million of outstanding General Obligation Bonds, resulting in the present value economic gain of over one-half million dollars due to interest cost reduction. At fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the School District had $37.255 million in bonds outstanding, but no other long-term debt. This is summarized in Table 5.

CURRENT ISSUES

Following is a list of currently known facts, decisions or conditions that are expected to have a significant effect on financial positions or results of operations.

Economic Recovery - State funding for education decreased between fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2004. However, beginning in fiscal year 2005, signs of economic recovery surfaced at the state and local levels, resulting in the proposed increases in funding from the state to local school districts. Actual allocations for fiscal year 2007 included a partial restoration of the state's "Austerity Reduction" in conjunction with the full implementation of class size guidelines outlined in House Bill 1187. Additional adjustments to the state funding formula are not expected in fiscal year 2008, but the Bulloch County School System does expect funding increases associated with increased student enrollment. Bulloch County's local economy has remained strong, resulting in stable sales tax and property tax collections.

In September, 2005 (fiscal year 2006), voters approved early re-imposition of the Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST), to be collected between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013, for the purpose of providing the necessary funding to implement the school system's facilities plan.

EXHIBIT"F"

Total Net Change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds (Exhibit "E")
Amounts reported for Governmental Activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Capital Outlays are reported as expenditures in Governmental Funds. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of Capital Assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. In the current period, these amounts are:
Capital Outlay Depreciation Expense
Excess of Capital Outlay over Depreciation Expense
Because some property taxes will not be collected for several months after the School District's fiscal year ends, they are not considered "available" revenues.
In the Statement of Activities, only the gain on the sale of the equipment is reported, whereas in the Governmental Funds, the entire proceeds from the sale increase financial resources. Thus, the change in net assets differs from the change in fund balances by the carrying value of the equipment sold.
Repayment of Long-Term Debt is reported as an expenditure in Governmental Funds, but the repayment reduces Long-Term Liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets. In the current year, this amount consists of Bond Principal Retirements.

BULLOCH COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2006

EXHIBIT"H"

Note 1: DESCRIPTION OF SCHOOL DISTRICT AND REPORTING ENTITY
REPORTING ENTITY
The Bulloch County Board of Education (School District) was established under the laws of the State of Georgia and operates under the guidance of a school board elected by the voters and a Superintendent appointed by the Board. The Board is organized as a separate legal entity and has the power to levy taxes and issue bonds. Its budget is not subject to approval by any other entity. Accordingly, the School District is a primary government and consists of all the organizations that compose its legal entity.
Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The School District's basic financial statements are collectively comprised of the District-wide financial statements, fund financial statements and notes to the basic financial statements of the Bulloch County Board of Education.
District-wide Statements: The Statement ofNet Assets and the Statement ofActivities display information about the financial activities ofthe overall School District, except for fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions.
The Statement ofActivities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for each function of the School District's governmental activities.
Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expenses (expenses of the School District related to the administration and support ofthe School District's programs, such as office and maintenance personnel and accounting) are not allocated to programs.
Program revenues include (a) charges paid by the recipients ofgoods or services offered by the programs and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements: The fund financial statements provide information about the School District's funds, including fiduciary funds. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting ofinternal activities. Separate statements for each category (governmental and fiduciary) are presented. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The School District reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund is the School District's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources ofthe School District, except those resources required to be accounted for in another fund.
District-wide Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources including Bond Proceeds and grants from Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission to be used for the acquisition, construction or renovation of major capital facilities.
Debt Service Fund accounts for taxes (property and sales) legally restricted for the payment of general long-term principal, interest and paying agent's fees.
The School District reports the following fiduciary fund type:
Agency funds account for assets held by the School District as an agent for various funds, governments or individuals.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The basis ofaccounting determines when transactions are reported on the financial statements. The District-wide governmental and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless ofwhen the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the School District gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, sales taxes, grants and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the fiscal year in which the underlying transaction (sale) takes place. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
The School District uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. 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.
Governmental funds are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis ofaccounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The School District considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within sixty days after year-end. Property taxes, sales taxes and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, which are recognized

as expenditures to the extent they have matured. Capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds ofgeneral long-term liabilities and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
The School District funds certain programs by a combination ofspecific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program costs are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the School District's policy to first apply grant resources to such programs, followed by cost-reimbursement grants, then general revenues.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws OCGA 45-8-14 authorize the School District to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks or insured Federal savings and loan associations.
INVESTMENTS
COMPOSITION OF INVESTMENTS Investments made by the School District in nonparticipating interest-earning contracts (such as certificates ofdeposit) and repurchase agreements are reported at cost. Participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase ofone year or less are reported at amortized cost. Both participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase greater than one year are reported at fair value. The Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the School District to invest its funds. In selecting among options for investment or among institutional bids for deposits, the highest rate ofreturn shall be the objective, given equivalent conditions of safety and liquidity. Funds may be invested in the following:
(I) Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other states,
(2) Obligations issued by the United States government,
(3) Obligations fully insured or guaranteed by the United States government or a United States government agency,
(4) Obligations of any corporation of the United States government,

The School District does not have a formal policy regarding investment policies that address credit risks, custodial credit risks, concentration ofcredit risks, interest rate risks or foreign currency risks.

RECEIVABLES

Receivables consist of amounts due from property and sales taxes, grant reimbursements due on Federal, State or other grants for expenditures made but not reimbursed and other receivables disclosed from information available. Receivables are recorded when either the asset or revenue recognition criteria has been met.

Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end on the 2005 tax digest are reported as revenue in the governmental funds for fiscal year 2006. The Bulloch County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the School District, withholds 2.5% oftaxes collected as a fee for tax collection and remits the balance of taxes collected to the School District.

Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, at the fund reporting level, during the year amounted to $9,946,307 and is to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes or debt service. This sales tax was authorized by local referendum and the sales tax must be re-authorized at least every five years.

INVENTORIES

FOOD INVENTORIES On the basic financial statements, inventories ofdonated food commodities used in the preparation ofmeals are reported at their Federally assigned value and purchased foods inventories are reported at cost (first-in, first-out). The School District uses the consumption method to account for inventories whereby donated food commodities are recorded as an asset and as revenue when received, and expenses/expenditures are recorded as the inventory items are used. Purchased foods are recorded as an asset when purchased and expenses/expenditures are recorded as the inventory items are used.

CAPITAL ASSETS

Capital assets purchased, including capital outlay costs, are recorded as expenditures in the fund financial statements at the time of purchase (including ancillary charges). On the District-wide financial statements, all purchased capital assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost based on appraisals or deflated current replacement cost where no historical records exist. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at depreciated recorded cost. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value ofassets or materially extend the useful lives of the assets is not capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The School District does not capitalize book collections or works of art.

Capitalization thresholds and estimated useful lives of capital assets reported in the District-wide statements are as follows:

BULLOCH COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2006

EXHIBIT "H"

Note 3: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS

The pool's primary objectives are safety of capital, investment income, liquidity and diversification while maintaining principal ($1.00 per share value). Net asset value is calculated daily and reported to the rating agency weekly to ensure stability. The pool distributes earnings (net ofmanagement fees) on a monthly basis and values participant's shares sold and redeemed at the pool's share price, $1.00 per share. Pooled cash and cash equivalents and investments are reported at cost. The pool does not issue any legally binding guarantees to support the value of the shares. Participation in the pool is voluntary and deposits consist of funds from local governments; operating and trust funds of Georgia's state agencies, colleges and universities; and current operating funds of the State of Georgia's General Fund.
Investments in Georgia Fund 1 are directed toward short-term instruments such as U.S. Treasury obligations, securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U. S.

The School District has obtained commercial insurance for risk ofloss associated with automobiles. The School District has neither significantly reduced coverage for this risk nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the School District's insurance coverage in any ofthe past three years.

The School District participates in the Georgia School Boards Association Risk and Insurance Management System, a public entity risk pool organized on July 1, 1994, to develop and administer a plan to reduce risk of loss on account of general liability or property damage, including safety engineering and other loss prevention and control techniques, and to administer one or more groups ofself-insurance funds, including the processing and defense ofclaims brought against members of the system. The School District pays an annual premium to the system for its general insurance coverage. Additional coverage is provided through agreements by the system with other companies according to their specialty for property, boiler and machinery (including coverage for flood and earthquake), general liability (including coverage for sexual harassment, molestation and abuse), errors and omissions and crime. Payment of excess insurance for the system varies by line of coverage.

The School District is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. The School District accounts for claims within the same fund that the employee's salary and benefits were paid. Claims are accounted for with expenditure and liability being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated.

SECTION II COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL REPORTS

Russell W. Hinton
STATE AUDITOR
(404) 656-2174

DEPARTMENT OF AUDITS AND ACCOUNTS
270 Washington Street, S.W., Suite 1-156 Atlanta, Georgia 30334-8400
March 14, 2007

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
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information ofBulloch County Board ofEducation as of and for the year ended June 30, 2006, which collectively comprise Bulloch County Board of Education's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated March 14, 2007. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Bulloch County Board ofEducation's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting that, in our judgment, could adversely affect Bulloch County Board of Education's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with assertions of management in the financial statements. Reportable conditions are described in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings and Questioned Costs as items FS-6161-06-01, FS-6161-06-02 and FS-6161-06-04.
2006YB-30

A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation ofone or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we believe none of the reportable conditions described above are material weaknesses.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Bulloch County Board of Education's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.

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
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH 0MB CIRCULAR A-133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Bulloch County Board of Education with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office ofManagement and Budget (0MB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2006. Bulloch County Board ofEducation's major Federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditor's Results Section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major Federal programs is the responsibility of Bulloch County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Bulloch County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit ofcompliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States; and 0MB Circular A133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and 0MB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Bulloch County Board ofEducation's compliance with

2006SA-15

those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on Bulloch County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements.
In our opinion, the Bulloch County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2006. However, the results of our auditing procedures disclosed a nonmaterial instance of noncompliance with those requirements, which is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item FA-6161-06-01.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Bulloch County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to Federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Bulloch County Board ofEducation's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose ofexpressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with 0MB Circular A-133.
Our consideration ofthe internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level ofrisk that noncompliance with applicable requirements oflaws, regulations, contracts and grants caused by error or fraud that would be material in relation to a major Federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management, members of the Bulloch County Board ofEducation, 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.

In addition, school principal's accounts are being incorporated into the school system accounting software program to ensure proper recording of assets and review of school principal's accounts. Strict accountability at the school level and additional review at the system level will increase internal controls over the collection, disbursement and recording offunds, as well as timely and accurate review, of the school principal's accounts.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS REVENUES/RECEIVABLES/RECEIPTS EXPENDITURES/LIABILITIES/DISBURSEMENTS Inadequate Internal Controls over School Activity Accounts Reportable Condition Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-01

Condition:

This is a repeat finding (FS-6161-05-01 and FS-6161-04-01) from the years ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The accounting procedures of the School District were insufficient to provide for adequate internal controls over the school activity accounts.

Criteria:

The School District's management is responsible for designing and maintaining internal controls that provide reasonable assurance that transactions are processed according to established procedures.

Questioned Cost: NIA

Information:

Cash and Cash Equivalents The bank reconciliation function was not separated from the record keeping and voucher payment functions. The bank reconciliation was not reviewed by an administrator not directly connected with cash operations. A certificate of deposit held by one school was not recorded on the school's general ledger. The June bank reconciliations for two bank accounts were not reconciled to the total cash listed on the general ledger as presented for audit.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS REVENUES/RECEIVABLES/RECEIPTS EXPENDITURES/LIABILITIES/DISBURSEMENTS Inadequate Internal Controls over School Activity Accounts Reportable Condition Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-01

Expenditures/Liabilities/Disbursements Based on a review oftwenty five vouchers, the following deficiencies were noted: (1) One check was written to the school secretary for distribution of cash rewards to teachers, (2) One check was written to and signed by the principal without the required approval from the assistant principal, (3) Three vouchers lacked approval from a sponsor, (4) One voucher lacked adequate supporting documentation, and (5) One voucher lacked proof of receipt.

Cause:

These deficiencies were a result of management's decision to limit the number ofadministrative staffmade responsible for accounting functions and management's failure to ensure that internal controls were established, implemented and functioning at the school level.

Effect:

Errors and/or irregularities may not be detected in a timely manner.

Recommendation:

The School District should implement procedures to ensure that the key accounting functions of custody, record keeping and authorization are separated and/or utilize oversight for these incompatible activities. In addition, management should monitor controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are processed according to established policies and implement those procedures deemed necessary to strengthen internal controls over the accounting functions.

ACCOUNTING CONTROLS (OVERALL) Inadequate Access Controls Reportable Condition Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-02

Condition:

The accounting procedures ofthe School District did not maintain adequate separation of duties in the Financial Accounting System.

Criteria:

Separation of duties involving key accounting functions, both manual and automated, is the basis for achieving an adequate system of internal control.

Questioned Cost: NIA

Information:

Access controls in the Financial Accounting System did not prevent users from accessing accounting functions that are outside of their area of responsibility.

Cause:

The School District's management is responsible for designing and maintaining internal controls that restrict access to programs or data. Management has not limited the access rights of users of the Financial Accounting System.

Effect:

Errors and/or irregularities may not be detected in a timely manner.

Recommendation:

Management should ensure that the access controls in the accounting information system should complement the system of internal control by limiting an employee's access to only the accounting functions necessary for the performance of the employee's duties.

II FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

EXPENDITURES/LIABILITIES/DISBURSEMENTS Improper Use of SPLOST Proceeds Nonmaterial Noncompliance Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-03

Condition:

The School District spent Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) proceeds on stadium renovations which were not specifically identified in the SPLOST project referendum and do not appear to meet the definition of "capital outlay projects for educational purposes" in State laws regarding imposition and use of sales taxes for educational purposes.

Criteria:

Paragraph IV, Section VI, Article VIII of the Constitution of the State of Georgia states as follows, "The purpose or purposes for which the proceeds of the tax are to be used and may be expended include: (1) Capital outlay projects for educational purposes; (2) the retirement of previously incurred general obligation debt with respect only to capital outlay projects of the school system... " O.C.G.A. 48-8-121 states, "The proceeds received from the tax authorized by this part shall be used ... exclusively for the purpose or purposes specified in the resolution or ordinance calling for imposition ofthe tax."

The Attorney General's Official Opinion 97-7 for O.C.G.A. 20-2-260 (b)(5) states, "The definition of educational facilities specifically excludes swimming pools, tracks, stadiums, and other facilities or portions offacilities used primarily for athletic competition."

capital outlay projects for educational purposes and the Attorney General has ruled that facilities used primarily for athletic competition do not meet the definition of educational facilities.

Recommendation:

SECTIONV MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSES

BULLOCH COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION SCHEDULE OF MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSES
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006
Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-01
We concur with this finding. Separation of duties among school personnel, pertaining to school principal's accounts, is being addressed. This will require involving more existing personnel in the cash custody, record keeping and review functions but can be accomplished with adequate support from the central office and school principal. In addition, school principal's accounts were incorporated for the first year into the school system accounting software program to ensure proper recording of assets and review of school principal's accounts. Strict accountability at the school level and additional review at the system level will increase internal controls over the collection, disbursement and recording of funds, as well as timely and accurate review, ofthe school principal's accounts.
Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-02
We concur with this finding. We have now implemented a new procedure whereby all lunchroom cashiers and managers must change their passwords every 90 days. We also have instituted a mechanism to require that passwords are changed as required.
Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-03
We do not concur with this finding. Under advisement from both general legal counsel and bond legal counsel, the Bulloch County Board of Education did not include terminology, relating to the specifics ofeach project, in its SPLOST referendum. In addition, the details ofthis finding reference the State ofGeorgia's Attorney General Official Opinion 97-7, which specifically refers to 0.C.G.A. 48-8-121 and O.C.G.A. 20-2-260(b). We do not believe that 48-8-121, which states that "proceeds received from the tax authorized by this part shall be used...exclusively for the purpose or purposes specified in the resolution or ordinance calling for imposition of the tax", applies in this instance since the essence ofthis finding relates to the lack ofspecifics in the Bulloch County Board ofEducation's SPLOST terminology. Furthermore, O.C.G.A. 20-2-260 is included under Title 20 (Education), Article 6 (Quality Basic Education), Part 10 (Capital Outlay Funding), specifically referring to the use of State Department ofEducation funding for capital outlay purposes. Because the Bulloch County Board of Education followed the advice of legal counsel related to SPLOST referendum terminology, and because the use of SPLOST funds by the Bulloch County School System was in accordance with the community's school facilities needs, we do not believe that SPLOST proceeds have been used improperly.
Finding Control Number: FS-6161-06-04
We concur with this finding. Current procedures are being revised to ensure accurate and timely recording of capital assets and calculation of depreciation expense. Revised internal controls will lead to effective capital assets recording procedures.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2006 Finding Control Number: FA-6161-06-01 We concur with this finding. Beginning July 2006, the Bulloch County Board of Education implemented new procedures for State and Federal funding requests. We believe that these new procedures allow us to more accurately forecast the timing of expenditures related to State and Federal grants. Therefore, we do not expect to have excess cash balances for these State and Federal programs in the future.
