Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members ofthe General Assembly Members ofthe State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members ofthe Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation
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 ofthe Chattahoochee County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999, as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Chattahoochee County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards 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 opinion.
As described in the notes to the general purpose financial statements, the Board's financial statements have been prepared using certain accounting practices and policies which, in our opinion, vary in some respects from generally accepted accounting principles. These variances are described as follows:
* The general purpose financial statements of the Board did not contain a General Fixed Assets
Account Group to account for property and equipment owned by the Board which should be included to conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
99ARL-13

* The Board did not recognize as expenditures, in the year ended June 30, 1999, a portion of salaries
and the corresponding employer's cost ofrelated benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 1999, from the Georgia Department ofEducation for the State's share of these unrecorded salaries and related benefits were not recorded as revenue in the year under review. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1998, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 1999. To confonn to generally accepted accounting principles, revenues should be recorded when available and measurable and expenditures should be recorded when incurred, rather than when funds are received or disbursed.
The aggregate effects on the general purpose financial statements of these variances or omissions have not been determined, but are believed to be material.
In our opinion, 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 material respects, the financial position ofthe Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation as ofJune 30, 1999, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in confonnity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards. we have also issued our report dated May 18, 2000, on our consideration ofthe Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants.
Our audit was perfonned for the purpose of fonning an opinion on the general purpose financial statements ofthe Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E through 1) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 6), 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 ofadditional analysis and are not a required part ofthe general purpose financial statements. Such infonnation has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe general purpose financial statements and in our opinion, except for the effects ofthe matters referred to in the third paragraph, such infonnation is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy of this report has been filed as a pennanent record in the office of the State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-6-24.
Respectfully submitted,

JUNE 3D. 1999

Note 1: SUMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Chattahoochee County Board of Education (Board) 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 Board is a primary government and consists of all the organizations that compose its legal entity.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The Board uses funds and an account group 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. An account group 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 expendable available financial resources.
General Fixed Assets are recorded as expenditures in the various funds at the time ofpurchase. A General Fixed Assets Account Group is not presently maintained by the Board. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, a General Fixed Assets Account Group should be maintained for reporting the cost of assets acquired by governmental fund types.
The general purpose financial statements account for all State, Federal, Taxes and Other funds under control ofthe Board, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental units, unless otherwise disclosed in these notes. Funds and the account group presented in this report are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES - are used to account for all or most ofa Board's educational activities. Governmental Fund Types include:
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources of the Board except those . required to be accounted for in another fund. These transactions relate to resources obtained and used for services provided by a board of education.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. These funds are received primarily from the Georgia Department of Education and from the Federal government to accomplish specific educational objectives.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND - the fund used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction ofmajor capital facilities.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DEBT SERVICE FUND - the fund used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, generallong-tenn principal, interest and paying agent fees.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE - the fund used to account for assets held by a government Unit in atrustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other government units and/or other funds. This fund includes:
AGENCY FUNDS - the funds used to account for assets held in a fiduciary capacity for other funds, governments, or individuals.
ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A financial reporting device used to account for general obligation debt outstanding.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is detennined 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 liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing .sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in 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 in the governmental funds. Other liabilities, which are not expected to be financed from available spendable resources, are reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.
Agency funds are purely custodial in nature and do not involve measurement ofresults ofoperations.
Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting under which:
Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount offue transaction can be detennined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities ofthe current period. Those revenues considered susceptible to accrual are property taxes, local option sales taxes, intergovernmental grants and investment income.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.

Note 1: SUMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A departure from the above definitions is the accounting treatment afforded the final two payments on General Fund teachers' and bus drivers' contracts, and the resources available from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these contracts. During fiscal year 1999, a substantial number of personnel ofthe Board were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in late August 1998 and ending in early June 1999. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 1998 and ending in August 1999. State grants to fund the State's share ofthese contracts were disbursed from the Georgia Department of Education 'to the Board in the same twelve months. As of June 30, 1999, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two of the twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 1999, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30, 1999. Also, the State's portion ofthe compensation paid in July and August 1999 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 1999. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1998, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 1999. Generally accepted accounting principles require that revenues be recorded when available and measurable and that expenditures be recorded when incurred, rather than when funds are received or disbursed.
Agency funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting in recognizing assets and liabilities.
BUDGET
The Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation's budget is a complete financial plan for the Board's fiscal year and is based upon estimates of expenditures together with probable funding sources. There is no statutory prohibition regarding overexpenditure of the budget at any level. The budget for all governmental funds is prepared by fund, function and object. The legal level ofbudget control was established by the Board at the aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles.
c:'
The budget process begins when the Board's administration prepares a tentative budget for the Board's approval. After approval of this tentative budget by the Board, such budget is advertised at least once in a newspaper ofgeneral circulation in the locality. At the next regular meeting ofthe Board after advertisement, the Board receives comments on the tentative budget, makes revisions as necessary and adopts a final school budget. This final budget is then submitted, in accordance with provisions of the Quality Basic Education Act, OCGA Section 20-2-167, to the Georgia Department ofEducation. The Board may increase or decrease the budget at any time during the year. All unexpended budget authority lapses at fiscal year-end.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws authorize the Board to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks, insured Federal savings and loan associations, or insured State chartered building and loan associations.

RECEIVABLES

Receivables consist of 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. Receivables recorded on the general purpose financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables.

PROPERTY TAXES

The Chattahoochee County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 1998 tax year (calendar year) on October 21, 1998 (levy date). Taxes were due on December 31, 1998. The lien date for property taxes was January 1, 1998. Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end are reported as revenue in fiscal year 1999. The Chattahoochee County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the Board of Education, withholds 2.5% of taxes collected as a fee for tax collection and remits the balance of taxes collected to the Board.

The tax millage rate levied for the 1998 tax year (calendar year) for the Chattahoochee County Board of Education was as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value):

School Operations

10.21 mills

SALES TAXES

Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax is to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes and debt service. Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax revenue during the fiscal year amounted to $282,586.81 and was recorded in the Capital Projects and Debt Service Funds. The State will terminate collection of this tax once an additional $1,113,554.08 has been collected or on December 31, 2002, whichever occurs first.

INVENTORIES

FOOD INVENTORIES Inventories of donated food commodities used in the preparation of meals are reported on the Combined Balance Sheet at their Federally assigned value. Purchased foods inventories are reported on the Combined Balance Sheet at cost (first-in, first-out). Donated food commodities are recorded as revenues and

expenditures at the time commodity items are received. Purchased foods inventories are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. The inventories reported on the balance sheet for donated food commodities and for purchased foods are equally offset by reservations of fund balance which indicates that these amounts do not constitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component of net current assets.
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
The Board issues general obligation bonds to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are recognized in the financial statements during the year bonds are issued. General obligation bonds are direct obligations and pledge the full faith and credit of the government. The outstanding amount ofthese bonds is recorded in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.
INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
The Board has the following types ofinterfund transactions:
Reimbursements of expenditures initially made from a fund that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures in the fund that is reimbursed.
Operating transfers are recorded for all interfund transactions other than reimbursements.
MEMORANDUM ONLY - TOTAL COLUMNS
Total columns on the general purpose financial statements are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present financial position or results ofoperations 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.
Note 2: DEPOSITS
COLLATERALIZATION OF DEPOSITS Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 45-8-12 provides that there shall not be on deposit at any time in any depository for a time longer than ten days a sum of money which has not been secured by surety bond, by guarantee ofinsurance, or by collateral. The aggregate of the face value of such surety bond and the market value ofsecurities pledged shall be equal to not less than 110 percent ofthe public funds being secured after the deduction ofthe amount ofdeposit insurance. OCGA Section 45-8-11(b) provides an officer holding public funds may, in his discretion, waive the requirement for security in the case of operating funds placed in demand deposit checking accounts.

Note 4: RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors or omissions; job related illness or injuries to employees; natural disaster and unemployment compensation.

The Board has obtained commercial insurance for risk of loss associated with torts, assets and errors or omissions. The Board has neither significantly reduced coverage for these risks nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the Board's insurance coverage in any ofthe past three years.

The Board has elected to self-insure for all losses related to natural disaster. The Board has not experienced any losses related to this risk in the past three years.

The Board is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. The Board 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 ofthat loss can be reasonably estimated.

Changes in the unemployment compensation claims liability during the last two fiscal years are as follows:

The Board participates in the Georgia Education Workers' Compensation Trust, a public entity risk pool organized on December 1, 1991 to develop, implement and administer a program of workers' compensation self-insurance for its member organizations.

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the financial statements of Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999, and have issued our report thereon dated May 18, 2000. This report was qualified for various departures from generally accepted accounting principles, as identified in the auditor's report on the general purpose financial statements.We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Chattahoochee County Board of Education's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective ofour audit and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Theresults of our tests disclosed no instances ofnoncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Re.porting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Chattahoochee County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we noted a certain matter involving the internal control over financial reporting and its
99YB-40

operation that we consider to be a reportable condition. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over fmancial reporting that, in our judgement, could adversely affect Chattahoochee County Board of Education's ability to record, process, summarize and report fmancial data consistent with assertions of management in the financial statements. The reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item FS-6261-99-01.
A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements 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 ofperforming 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, the reportable condition described above is considered to be a material weakness.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, members of the Chattahoochee 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.

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members ofthe State Board ofEducation
and Superintendent and Members of the Chattahoochee County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MNOR PROGRAM AND lNTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULARA-133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office ofManagement and Budget (OMB) Circular A-i33 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 1999. Chattahoochee County Board of Education's major Federal programs are identified in 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 Chattahoochee County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Chattahoochee County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits ofStates, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB 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 Chattahoochee County Board of Education's compliance with 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 Chattahoochee County Board ofEducation's compliance with those requirements.

99SA-10

In our opinion, the Chattahoochee County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 1999.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Chattahoochee 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 Chattahoochee County Board of Education'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 of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133.
Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level ofrisk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants 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 ofmanagement, members of the Chattahoochee 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.
