HINTON STATE AUDITOR (404) 656-2174 DEPARTMENT OF AUDITS AND ACCOUNTS 254 Washington Street, S.W. Suite 214 Atlanta, Georgia 30334-8400 June 15, 2004 Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education and Superintendent and Members ofthe Crawford County Board of Education 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 of the governmental activities and each major fund (Exhibits A through G) of the Crawford County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2003, which collectively comprise the Board's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Crawford County Board of Education'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 opinions. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, management has not recorded school activity (principals) accounts maintained at the individual schools in the governmental activities, general fund or fiduciary fund (which comprise the aggregate remaining fund information) as appropriate. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the assets, 2003-34ARL-14 liabilities, revenues, expense or expenditures, as appropriate, and the respective changes in financial position of these accounts be reflected in these financial statements. The aggregate effect on the financial statements of this variance or omission has not been determined, but is believed to be material. In our opinion, because of the effects of the matters discussed in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica, the financial position ofthe aggregate remaining fund information ofthe Crawford County Board ofEducation, as ofJune 30, 2003, and the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended. In addition, in our opinion, except for the effects ofnot recording school principal account activity in the governmental activities and general fund as described in the third paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and general fund of the Crawford County Board of Education, as of June 30, 2003, 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. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the district-wide capital projects fund and the debt service fund of the Crawford County Board of Education, as of June 30, 2003, and the respective changes in financial position thereoffor the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Crawford County Board ofEducation has not presented Management's Discussion and Analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States has determined is necessary to supplement, although not to be part of, the basic financial statements. As discussed in Note 2 to the basic financial statements, during fiscal year 2003, the Board completed a comprehensive inventory of its capital assets for inclusion in the basic financial statements and changed its method of accounting for the salaries of certain ten-month employees from a cash basis to a basis that is generally accepted. These changes are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As described in Note 2, the Crawford County Board ofEducation has implemented a new financial reporting model as required by provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as of June 30, 2003. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 15, 2004, on our consideration of the Crawford 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. 2003-34ARL-14 The Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances - Budget and Actual, as presented on page 25 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is 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 Crawford 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, except for the effects of the matter referred to in the third paragraph, such information, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic 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.

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. Some of the Capital Assets acquired this year were financed with capital leases. In Governmental Funds, a capital lease arrangement is considered a source of financing, but in the Statement of Net Assets, the lease obligation is reported as a Long-Term Liability. 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, these amounts consist of: Bond Principal Retirements Capital Lease Payments Total Long-Term Debt Repayments Food Inventories are expensed on the District-wide Statements using the consumption method while on the fund level Food Inventories are recorded as expenditures when purchased.

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 Crawford County Board of Education. District-wide Statements: The Statement ofNet Assets and the Statement ofActivities display information about the financial activities of the overall School District. 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. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double counting of internal activities. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds. The School District reports the following major governmental funds: - 10- CRAWFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 EXHIBIT"G" Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The basis ofaccounting determines when transactions are reported on the financial statements. The District-wide governmental, 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 of when 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. - 11 - CRAWFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 EXHIBIT"G" Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Although "school activity accounts" are maintained at the individual schools, neither the assets, liabilities and fund balances, nor the revenues, expenses/expenditures and changes in net assets/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 basic financial statements. For fiscal year 2003, the School District changed its method of accounting for the final two payments on one hundred and ninety day contracts and for the related revenue due from the State to fund these contracts. Adjustments have been made in the fiscal year 2003 financial statements to record costs for salaries and fringe benefits earned by employees through June 30, 2003, (even though paid in July and August 2003) and the related revenue due from the State to fund these contracts. Adjustments were also made for the similar salaries, benefits and related State revenues earned in fiscal year 2002 and recorded in fiscal year 2003. The net effect of the above accounting treatment results in the accompanying financial statements reflecting costs for those salaries and benefits earned by employees during fiscal year 2003 and the related State revenue to fund these contracts. In addition, both the net assets and fund balance at July 1, 2002, have been restated for salaries and benefits earned by employees in fiscal year 2002 but not paid until July and August 2002 and for the related State revenue for these contracts. This change is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See Restatement of Prior Year Fund Balance. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR FUND BALANCE - GENERAL FUND In prior years, the financial activities of the School District's School Food Services Fund, Lottery Programs and Federal Programs were reported as Special Revenue Funds. These funds had a combined fund balance of $116,583 at July 1, 2002. For fiscal year 2003, these funds have been reported as part of the General Fund. This change is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Georgia Laws OCGA 45-8-14 authorize the Board 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: - 13 - CRAWFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 EXHIBIT"G" Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (1) 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, (5) Prime banker's acceptances, (6) The Local Government Investment Pool administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services, (7) Repurchase agreements, and (8) Obligations of other political subdivisions of the State of Georgia. 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. Receivables recorded on the basic financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables. PROPERTY TAXES The Crawford County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 2002 tax digest year (calendar year) on October 17, 2002 (levy date). Taxes were due on December 20, 2002 (lien date). Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end on the 2002 tax digest are reported as revenue in the governmental funds for fiscal year 2003. The Crawford County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the School District, withholds 2.5% of taxes collected as a fee for tax collection and remits the balance of taxes collected to the School District. Property tax revenues, at the fund reporting level, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, for maintenance and operations amounted to $3,052,945 and for school bonds amounted to $472. The tax millage rate levied for the 2002 tax year (calendar year) for the Crawford County Board of Education was as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value): School Operations 15.00 mills - 14 - CRAWFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 EXHIBIT"G" Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SALES TAXES Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax, at the fund reporting level, during the year amounted to $499,907 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 District-wide financial statements, inventories of donated 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 ofpurchase. 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 fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at depreciated recorded cost. The cost ofnormal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of assets 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: Capitalization Policy Estimated Useful Life Land Land Improvements Buildings and Improvements Equipment All NIA $ 5,000 20 to 80 years $ 5,000 10 to 80 years $ 5,000 3 to 20 years Depreciation is used to allocate the actual or estimated historical cost of all capital assets over estimated useful lives. - 15 - CRAWFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 EXHIBIT"G" Note 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS The School District issues general obligation bonds to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of major capital facilities.

Note 8: RISK MANAGEMENT The School District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors or omissions; acts of God 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 Board's insurance coverage in any ofthe past three years. The School District has elected to self-insure for all losses related to acts of God. 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. The School District accounts for claims within the General Fund with expenses/expenditures and liability being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount ofthat loss can be reasonably estimated. - 19 - CRAWFORD COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2003 EXHIBIT"G" Note 8: RISK MANAGEMENT Changes in the unemployment compensation claims liability during the last two fiscal years are as follows: 2002 2003 Beginning ofYear Liability Claims and Changes in Estimates Claims Paid End ofYear Liability $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 4 550 $ 4 550 $ 0 The School District participates in the Georgia School Boards Association Workers' Compensation Fund, a public entity risk pool organized on July 1, 1992, to develop, implement, and administer a program ofworkers' compensation self-insurance for its member organizations.

Additional insurance coverage is provided through an agreement by the Fund with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company to provide coverage for potential losses sustained by the Fund in excess of $350,000 loss per occurrence, up to $1,000,000. The School District has purchased a surety bond to provide additional insurance coverage as follows: Position Covered Amount Blanket Bond (All Employees) $ 100,000 Note 9: LONG-TERM DEBT CAPITAL LEASES The Crawford County Board of Education has entered into various lease agreements as lessee for purchase of buses.

The School District believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial to its overall financial position. The School District is a defendant in various legal proceedings pertaining to matters incidental to the performance ofroutine School District operations. The ultimate disposition ofthese proceedings is not presently determinable, but is not believed to be material to the basic financial statements.

HINTON STATE AUDITOR (404) 656-2174 DEPARTMENT OF AUDITS AND ACCOUNTS 254 Washington Street, S.W. Suite 214 Atlanta, Georgia 30334-8400 June 15, 2004 Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education and Superintendent and Members of the Crawford 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 the governmental activities and each major fund of Crawford County Board ofEducation as ofand for the year ended June 30, 2003, which collectively comprise Crawford County Board of Education's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated June 15, 2004. This report was qualified for a departure from generally accepted accounting principles, as identified in the auditor's report on the basic financial statements. 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. Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Crawford 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. 2003-34YB-41 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered Crawford 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 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 Crawford County Board of Education's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with assertions ofmanagement in the financial statements. The reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item FS-6391-0301. 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 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-6391-03-01 to be a material weakness.

Crawford 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 Crawford County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Crawford County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; 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 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 Crawford 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 Crawford County Board ofEducation's compliance with those requirements. 2003SA-10 In our opinion, the Crawford County Board ofEducation 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, 2003.

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.
