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.
