Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members ofthe State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Clay 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 ofthe Clay County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2001, as listed in the table of contents. These general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Clay County Board ofEducation'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 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 fmancial 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 opmlOn.
As described in the notes to the general-purpose financial statements, the Board of Education'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:

2001ARL-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 equipment owned by the Board of Education which should be included to conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
* School activity accounts maintained at the individual schools are not included in the
general-purpose financial statements. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, 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, 2001, a portion of salaries and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 2001. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 2001, from the Georgia Department of Education 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, 2000, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 2001. To conform 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 Clay County Board ofEducation as of June 30, 2001, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 27, 2002, on our consideration ofthe Clay County Board ofEducation's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part 0 audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in c nction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of :mning an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements ofthe Clay County Board ofEduc;: on taken as a whole. The accompanying combining
n and individual fund statements (Exhibits E Qugh and the financial schedules (Schedules 1
through 5), which includes the Schedule of ~ndituresof Federal Awards as required by U. S. Office ofManagement and Budget Circular 33, Audits ofStates, Local Governments, and NonProfit Organizations, are presented for purpo::. ~s ofadditional analysis and are not a required part of the general-purpose financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe general-purpose financial statements and in our opinion, except
2001ARL-13

for the effects ofthe matters referred to in the third paragraph, such information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the general-purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy ofthis report has been filed as a permanent record in the office ofthe State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Section 506-24.
Respectfully submitted,

NOTES TO THE GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2001

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Clay County Board ofEducation (School District) was established under the laws ofthe State of Georgia and operates under the guidance of a school board elected by the voters and a Superintendent appointed by the Board. The School District 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.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The School District uses funds and an account group to report on its financial position and the results ofits 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 School District. 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.
Although "school activity accounts" are maintained at the individual schools, neither the assets, liabilities and fund equity, nor the revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances of these accounts are reflected in these financial statements. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, these accounts should be recorded in the general-purpose financial statements.
The general-purpose financial statements account for all State, Federal, Taxes and Other funds under control of the School District, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental u;nits, 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 of a School District's educational activities. Governmental Fund Types include:
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources of the School District 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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30. 2001

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 of major capital facilities.
DEBT SERVICE FUND - the fund used to account for the accumulation ofresources for, and the payment of, general long-term principal, interest and paying agent fees.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE - the fund used to account for assets held by a government unit in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other government units and/or other funds. This fund includes:
AGENCY FUND - the fund 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 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 liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements ofthese 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 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. The School District considers receivables collected within sixty days after yearend to be available and therefore susceptible to accrual. Nonexchange transactions, in which the School District gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, local option sales taxes, intergovernmental grants and donations. Revenue for property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the fiscal year the resources are received or susceptible to accrual. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.
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 2001, a substantial number ofpersonnel ofthe School District were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in August 2000 and ending in early June 2001. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 2000 and ending in August 2001. State grants to fund the State's share of these contracts were disbursed from the Georgia Department of Education to the School District in the same twelve months. As of June 30, 2001, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two ofthe twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 2001, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the School District subsequent to June 30, 2001. Also, the State's portion ofthe compensation paid in July and August 2001 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 2001. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 2000, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 2001. 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 ofaccounting in recognizing assets and liabilities.
BUDGET
The Clay County Board ofEducation's budget is a complete financial plan for the School District'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 of budget 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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2001

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The budget process begins when the School District's administration prepares a tentative budget for the Board's approval. After approval ofthis tentative.budget by the Board, such budget is advertised at least once in a newspaper of general 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(c), to the Georgia Department of Education. The Board may increase or decrease the budget at any time during the year. All unexpended budget authority lapses at fiscal year-end.
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.

Note 4: RISK MANAGEMENT

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

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

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

The School District is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. In connection with this program, a self-insurance reserve has been established within the General Fund by the School District. The School District accounts for claims within the General Fund 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.

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

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Clay County Board of Education
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 Clay County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30,2001, and have issued our report thereon dated March 27, 2002. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Compliance
As part ofobtaining reasonable assurance about whether Clay County Board ofEducation's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions oflaws, 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. The results ofour tests disclosed no instances ofnoncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Clay 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
2001YB-41

control over financial reporting. However, we noted a certain matter involving the internal control over financial reporting and its 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 ofthe internal control over financial reporting that, in ourjudgment, could adversely affect Clay County Board of Education's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with assertions of management in the financial statements. The reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings and Questioned Costs as item FS-6301-01-01.
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 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 consider item FS-6301-01-01 to be a material weakness.
This report is intended solely for the information and use ofthe management, members ofthe Clay 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.
Respectfully submitted,

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members ofthe Clay County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Clay County Board ofEducation with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.s. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-i33 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2001. Clay County Board of Education'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 Clay County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Clay 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 OMB Circular A133, Audits of States, 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 ofcompliance 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 Clay 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 Clay County Board ofEducation's compliance with those requirements.
2001SA-IO

In our opinion, the Clay 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, 2001.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management ofClay County Board ofEducation 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 Clay 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 of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-I33.
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 condition in which the design or operation ofone or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level of risk 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 ofthe management, members of the Clay 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.
