Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education 
and .Superintendent and Members of the Colquitt County Board of Education 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the Colquitt County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Colquitt 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the U:nited 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, ~ well as evaluating the overall financial s~atement 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'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: 
 
2000ARL-13A 
 
 * 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. 
* 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 did not recognize as expenditures, in the year ended June 30, 2000, a portion 
of salaries and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 2000. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 2000, from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these unrecorded salaries and related benefits were not recorded as revenue in theyear under review. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 2000. 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 Board did not record revenues and expenditures associated with Federal donated 
commodities in its general purpose financial statements. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, these amounts should be recorded in the general.purpose financial statements. 
. 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 of the Colquitt County Board of Education as of June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of it~ Internal Service Funds and Nonexpendable Trust Funds 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 Apri120, 2001, on our consideration of the Colquitt County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit. 
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming -ali opinion on the general purpose financial statements of the Colquitt County Board of Education taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits G through L) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 5), which includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by U. S. Office of 
2000ARL-13A 
 
 Management and Budget Circular A-B3, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the f 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 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. 
I 
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 50- . 6-24.

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
REPORTING ENTITY 
The Colquitt 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 fimmdal 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 arid 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 of purchase. 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 fu.nd types. 
Although "school activity accounts" are mamtained 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 accountingprinciples, 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 Board, in compli~ce 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 of a Board's educational activities. Governmental Fund Types include: _ 
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources ofthe 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.

GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - Afiriancial reporting device used to

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING 
 
,The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is detennmed by its measurement focus. All governmental and expendable trust funds :are accounted for: using a current financ,ial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are ~ncluded 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 DebfAccount Group. 
 
, 
 
, 
 
All proprietary and nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements present increases (e~g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets. ' 
 
Governmental ~d expendable trust funds are accounted Ior 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. 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. 
 
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 2000,.a substantial number of personnel of the Board were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in early August 1999 and ending in late May 2000. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 1999 and ending in August 2000. State grants to fund the State's share of these contracts were disbursed from the Georgia Department ofEducation to the Board in the same twelve

months. As ofJune 30, 2000, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two ofthe twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 2000, had not been made, Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30, 2000, Also, the State's portion ofthe compensation paid in July and August 2000 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 2000, Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 2000. 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, 
The accrual basis of accounting, as required by generally accepted accounting principles, is utilized by proprietary and nonexpendable trust funds. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. 
BUDGET 
The Colquitt 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. Proprietary fund budgets were prepared and utilized as a management tool to assess the operations of the internal service funds. The budget for governmental funds was prepared on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles., 
The budget process begins when the Board'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-~:nd. 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS 
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws OCGA 45-8-14 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.

The lien date for property taxes was January 1, 1999. Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end are reported as revenue in fiscal year 2000.

SALES TAXES 
 
Local Option Sales Tax revenue during the fiscal year amounted to $4,296,321.84 and was recorded in the General Fund. Local Option Sales Tax is to be used for the maintenance and operation of the Board. 
 
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 $4,198,966.75 and was recofded in the Debt Service Fund. The State will terminate collection of this tax once an additional $17,610,821.23has been collected or on December 31,2003, whichever occurs first. 
 
INVENTORIES 
 
FOOD INVENTORIES 
 
Inventories <if 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). The Board uses the purchases method to 
 
account for Inventories of purchased foods whereby expenditures are recorded at the time of 
 
purchase. Both the donated food commodities inventory and the purchased foods inventory reported 
 
on the balance sheet are equally offset by reservations of fund balance which indicates that they do 
 
not constitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component of net current. 
 
assets. The Federally assigned value of donated commodity items received and consumed has not 
 
been reflected as revenues and expenditures in the general purpose financial statements. To conform 
 
to generally accepted accounting principles, these amounts should be recorded in the general purpose 
 
financial statements.

CATEGORIZATION OF INVESTMENTS 
''At June 30, 2000, the carrying value of the Board's total inves~ents was $8,902,954.37 which is 
 
materially the same as fair value. This investment consisted entirely of funds invested in the Local 
 
Government Irtyestment Pool administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal 
 
. Services which are not required to be categorized since the Board did not own any specific 
 
identifiable securities in the pool. The investment policy ofthe State ofGeorgia, Office ofTreasury 
 
and Fiscal Services for the Local Government Investment Pool (primary Liquidity Portfolio) does 
 
not provide for investment in derivatives or similar investments. A description of the Primary 
 
Liquidity Portfolio is as follows: 
 
. 
 
. 
 
The Primary Liquidity Portfolio consists of Georgia Fund 1, which is a combination local and state 
 
government investment pool, and Fund 6. Georgia Fund 1 is a stable net asset value investment pool 
 
which follows Standard and Poor's criteria for AAAm rated money market funds. The pool is not 
 
registered with the SEC as an investment company but does operate Georgia Fund 1 in a mannel 
 
consistent with Rule 2a-7 ofthe Investment Company Act of 1940 arid is considered to be a Rule 2ac 
 
7 like pool. The pool's primary objectives are safety of capital, investment income, liquidity anc.. 
 
diversification while maintaining principal ($1.00 per share value). Net asset value is calculatec.. 
 
weekly to ensure stability. The pool distributes earnings (net of management fees) on a monthl) 
 
basis and values participant's shares sold and redeemed based on $1.00 per share. Pooled cash anc 
 
cash equivalents and investments are reported at cost which approximates fair value. The pool doe~ 
 
riot issue any legally binding guarantees to support the value ofthe shares. Participation in the poo 
 
'is voluntary and deposits consist of funds from local governments; operating and trust funds 0 
 
Georgia's state agencies, colleges and universities; and current operating funds of the ~tate 0

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education 
and Superintendent and Members of the Colquitt 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 Colquitt County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, and have issued our report thereon dated April 20, 2001. 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 of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Colquitt 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 grants, noncompliance with which could have a direCt and material effect on the determination offinancial 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 Colquitt County Board ofEducation'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 
2000YB-40A 
 
 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 Colquitt County Board ofEducation's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with assertions of management in the financial statements. The reportable condition i$ described in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings and Questioned Costs as item FS-6351-00-01. 
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,the reportable condition described above is considered to be a material weakness. 
This report is intended solely for the information and use ofmanagement, members ofthe Colquitt 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 th~se specified parties.

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members ofthe General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education 
and Superintendent and Members of the Colquitt County Board of Education 
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH' OMB CIRCULARA-133 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
Compliance 
We have audited the compliance of Colquitt County Board of Education with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office ofManagement and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable'to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2000. Colquitt County Board ofEducation's major Federal programs are identified in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings and QuestiQned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major Federal programs is the responsibility of Colquitt County Board ofEducation's management. Our responsibility is to ~xpress an opinion on Colquitt 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 Colquitt County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements and performing s~ch other procedures as we-considered necessary in the circwnstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal d,etermination on Colquitt County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements. 
2000SA-I0A 
 
 In our opinion, the Colquitt County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the req~irements referred to above that are applicable to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2000. 
Internal-Control Over Compliance 
The management of Colquitt 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 Colquitt 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 OMB Circular A-B3. 
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 ofperforming their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving,the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
