Honorable Zell Miller, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education 
and Superintendent and Members of the DeKalb County Board of Education 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION SCHEDULE OF FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We have audited the general purpose financial statements (Exhibits A through F) ofthe DeKalb County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the provisions of the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments". Those standards and 0MB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material 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. 
96ARL-13 
 
 * 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, 1996, a portion of salaries and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1996. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 1996, from the Georgia Department ofEducation for the State's share ofthese 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, 1995, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 1996. 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 inventories of purchased foods and Federal donated commodities housed at the various school sites 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the DeKalb County Board of Education as of June 30, 1996, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its proprietary funds for the year then ended, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a 
report dated July 1, 1997, on our consideration ofthe Board's internal control structure and a report dated July 1, 1997, on its compliance with laws and regulations. 
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education taken as a whole. The combining statements (Exhibits G through L) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 13 which includes the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance) are presented for purposes ofadditional analysis and are not a required part ofthe general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education. 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 of the matters referred to in the third paragraph, such information is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole. 
96ARL-13 
 
 A copy of this report has been filed as a permanent record in the office of the State Auditor and made available to the press of the State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-6-24. 
Respectfully submitted,

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
COMPENSATED ABSENCES 
Compensated absences represent obligations of the Board relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon service already rendered. This obligation relates only to vesting accumulating leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No liability has been recorded in the individual funds for the current portion of this obligation as this amount is deemed immaterial to the general purpose financial statements. 
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 during the year bonds are issued. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from actual net proceeds, are reported as capital project expenditures. In addition, general obligation bonds have been issued to refund existing general obligation bonds. General obligation bonds are direct obligations and pledge the full faith and credit of the government. The outstanding amount of these bonds is recorded in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group. 
INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS 
The Board has the following types of interfund transactions: 
Reimbursements of expenditures/expenses initially made from a fund that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/expenses 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, results of operations or cash flows 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. 
DEFICIT FUND BALANCES 
The following fund reported a deficit fund balance position at June 30, 1996, which is not readily apparent on the general purpose financial statements:

recorded on the general purpose financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables. 
 
NOTES RECEIVABLE 
 
Notes receivable consist of a promissory note from Yeshiva High School, Incorporated for the purchase of property from the Board. The maturity date for the note is October 30, 1996, and the note is earning interest at 9% per annum. 
 
PROPERTY TAXES 
 
The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 1995 tax year (calendar year) on June 13, 1995 (levy date). Taxes were due on November 15, 1995 and could be paid in two installments on August 15, 1995 and November 15, 1995 (due dates). The lien date for property taxes was January 1, 1995. Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end are reported as revenue in fiscal year 1996 since their collection meets the criteria of GASB codification section P70.103. The DeKalb County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the Board of Education, withholds 1.9% of taxes collected as a fee for tax collection and remits the balance of taxes collected to the Board. 
 
Tax millage rates levied for the 1995 tax year (calendar year) for the DeKalb County Board of Education were as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value): 
 
School Operations School Bonds 
INVENTORIES 
 
23.73 mills ~mills 
24.63 mills 
 
FOOD INVENTORIES Inventories reported on the Combined Balance Sheet are comprised of purchased bulk commodities for resale to individual school lunchrooms within the DeKalb County School system and are valued at cost (first-in, first-out). The Board uses the purchase method to account for these inventories whereby expenditures are recorded at the time ofpurchase. Such inventories are maintained as a part of an Internal Service Fund and are equally offset with a corresponding reservation of fund balance as this amount is not available for discretionary expenditures. 
 
Donated food commodities are recorded as revenues and expenditures at the time commodity items are received. Other purchased foods inventories housed at the various school lunchrooms are recorded as revenue and expenditures at the time they are received at cost. Inventories of donated food commodities and other purchased foods housed at the various school lunchrooms used in the preparation of meals are not reported on the Combined Balance Sheet. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, these amounts should be recorded in the general purpose financial statements.

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 Grivers' contracts, and the resources available from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these contracts. During fiscal year 1996, a substantial number of personnel ofthe Board were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in late August 1995 and ending in early June 1996. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 1995 and ending in August 1996. 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, 1996, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two of the twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 1996, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30, 1996. Also, the State's portion of the compensation paid in July and August 1996 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 1996. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1995, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 1996. 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 funds. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. 
Agency funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting in recognizing assets and liabilities. 
BUDGET 
The DeKalb County Board of Education'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 of budget control was established by the Board at the function/object/project/program level. Proprietary fund budgets were prepared and utilized as a management tool to assess the operations of the internal services 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 of this 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 of the 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 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.

FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE - the agency funds 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. These funds include: 
AGENCY FUNDS - the funds used to account for assets held for other funds, governments, or individuals. 
ACCOUNT GROUP 
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - used to account for general obligation bonds outstanding and material accrued compensated absences. 
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 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. 
All proprietary 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. 
Agency funds are purely custodial in nature and do not involve measurement of results of operations.  
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 ofthe 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, beverage tax, intergovernmental grants and investment income. Property taxes are considered available if they are collected and remitted by the collecting agent to the Board within 60 days after fiscal year-end. 
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.

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 ofthese 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 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 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. 
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds ofspecific revenue sources (other than for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. These funds are primarily received from the Georgia Department of Education and from the Federal government to accomplish specific objectives and are required to be accounted for separately. 
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. 
PROPRIETARY FUND TYPE - the funds used to account for activities ofthe Board similar to those found 
in the private sector, where cost recovery and the determination ofnet income is useful or necessary for sound fiscal management. Internal service funds are a type of proprietary fund and are used to account for operations on a cost reimbursement basis that provide services to other funds or programs of the Board. 
INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS Dental Resenre Fund - the fund used to account for the Board's dental insurance risk financing and related activities. 
Warehouse Senrice Fund -the fund used to account for food inventories purchased by the Board for the School Food and Nutrition Program and Athletic Fund - concession sales.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
The DeKalb 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. With the exception ofthe departures from generally accepted accounting principles disclosed in these notes, the financial statements of the Board have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units and unless otherwise disclosed in these notes, the financial statements present all of the fund types and account groups of the Board. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting standards. 
The more significant of the Board's accounting policies are described below. 
REPORTING ENTITY 
In evaluating how to define the governmental unit for financial reporting purposes, management has considered the criteria set forth in GASB Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, Section 2100, "Defining the Financial Reporting Entity". The primary government consists of all the organizations that compose the legal entity of the DeKalb County Board of Education. 
Based upon the application of the above criteria, the DeKalb County Board of Education is determined to be the lowest level of government exercising oversight responsibility and control over all activities related to public education in DeKalb County, Georgia, excluding that area encompassed by the City of Decatur. The Board is not included in any other governmental "reporting entity" as defined by GASB Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards. 
Board members were elected by the public and have decision making authority, the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, and primary accountability for fiscal matters. The Board determines the millage rate at which school taxes are levied and may incur bonded indebtedness with voter approval. 
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 of purchase. A General Fixed Assets Account Group is not presently maintained by the Board. To conform to generally accepted

Category 2 - Cash collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the Board's name. 
Category 3 - Uncollateralized deposits. (This includes any bank balance that is collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution, or by its trust department or agent but not in the Board's name.) 
 
The Board's deposits are classified by risk category at June 30, 1996, as follows:

Note 3: NON-MONETARY TRANSACTIONS 
 
The Board receives food commodities from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for school breakfast and lunch programs. These commodities are recorded at their Federally assigned value. See Note 1 - Inventories 
 
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, unemployment compensation; and dental claims. 
 
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 natural disaster in the past three years. 
 
The Board has established a limited risk management program for workers' 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 of that loss can be reasonably estimated. If applicable these losses include an estimate of claims that have been incurred but not reported. An excess coverage insurance policy covers individual claims in excess of $250,000.00 loss per occurrence, up to the statutory limit.

Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the Board's general purpose financial statements. At June 30, 1996, $52,195,000.00 of bonds are outstanding and are considered defeased.

Note 9: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES 
Amounts received or receivable principally from the Federal government are subject to audit and review by grantor agencies. This could res.tlt in requests for reimbursement to the grantor agency for any expenditures which are disallowed under grant terms. The Board believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial to its overall financial position. 
The Board is a defendant in various legal proceedings pertaining to matters incidental to the performance of routine Board operations. The ultimate disposition ofthese proceedings is not presently determinable, but is not believed to be material to the general purpose financial statements. 
Note 10: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 
On July 12, 1994, a "Memorandum of Understanding" was signed between DeKalb County Board of Education (Board) and the Department ofTechnical and Adult Education (DTAE) to transfer the operations ofthe DeKalb Technical Institute from the Board to DTAE. DTAE proposes to operate DeKalb Technical Institute as a unit of the Department of Technical and Adult Education. This transfer is effective as ofJuly 1, 1996. 
On March 18, 1997, voters of DeKalb County voted in favor of a Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax referendum for educational purposes. The imposition of the tax approved by the voters, as stated on the Official Ballot of DeKalb County, is as follows: 
"Shall a one percent sales and use tax for educational purposes be imposed in DeKalb County for not longer than twenty quarters to raise not more than $531,800,000.00 to repay DeKalb School District debt of $114,435,000.00; for new schools, land, additions, renovations, equipment and technology systems, not to exceed $381,733,800.00 for the DeKalb School District..."

Note 12: RETIREMENT PLANS 
TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (TRS) 
TRS PLAN DESCRIPTION Substantially all teachers, administrative and clerical personnel employed by local school systems are covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), which is a cost-sharing multiple employer public employee retirement system (PERS). 
TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement and survivors benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. A member is eligible for service retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 years of service and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service and attainment of age 55, at a reduced benefit. Retirement benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two consecutive highest paid years of service multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life. Options are available for distribution ofthe member's monthly pension at a reduced rate to a designated beneficiary on the member's death. 
Retirement benefits also include death and disability benefits. A disabled member or surviving spouse is entitled to receive annually an amount equal to the member's service retirement benefit or disability retirement, whichever is greater. The death benefit is the amount that would be payable to the member's beneficiary had the member retired on the date of death on either a service retirement allowance or a disability retirement allowance, whichever is larger. The benefit is based on the member's creditable service (minimum of 10 years of service) and compensation up to the time of disability or death. 
Members become fully vested after ten years of service. If a member terminates with less than ten years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions are refunded with interest. 
The Board's payroll for employees covered by TRS for the year ended June 30, 1996, was $332,037,381.40; total payroll was $355,814,569.77. 
TRS CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED AND MADE Employees of the Board who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The Board makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 1996 that rate for employer contributions was 11.81 %. The interest rate assumption (rate of return on investments) was 7.50%. 
Total contributions made during fiscal year 1996 amounted to $55,815,483.81, of which $39,213,614.74 was made by the Board and $16,601,869.07 was made by employees. These contributions represented 11.81 % (Board) and 5% (employees) of covered payroll.

Note 12: RETIREMENT PLANS 
 
TRS FUNDING STATUS AND PROGRESS The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized measurement established by Statement No. 5 ofthe Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that, with some exceptions, must be used by a PERS. The standardized measurement is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits. This valuation method reflects the present value of estimated pension benefits that will be paid in future years as a result of employee services performed to date, and is adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases. A standardized measure of the pension benefit obligation was adopted by the GASB to enable readers of PERS financial statements to assess that PERS funding status on a going-concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among_ other PERS and among other employers. 
 
Total unfunded pension benefit obligation ofTRS as of June 30, 1995, was as follows: 
 
Total pension benefit obligation 
 
$17,442,607,000.00 
 
Net assets available for benefits, at cost 
 
15,857,066,000.00 
 
Unfunded pension benefit obligation 
 
$ 1,585.541.000.00 
 
The measurement ofthe total pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as ofJune 30, 1995. Net assets available to pay pension benefits were valued as of the same date. TRS does not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit obligation for individual employers. 
 
Total contributions from all employers to TRS for fiscal year ended June 30, 1996 were $607,275,000.00. The Board's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1996 of$39,213,614.74 was actuarially determined and represented 6.4573% of total contributions made by all participating employers. 
 
Ten year historical trend information is presented in the 1996 TRS Component Unit Financial Report. This information is useful in assessing TRS's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become due. 
 
PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (PSERS) 
 
PSERS PLAN DESCRIPTION Substantially all bus drivers, maintenance, custodial, and lunchroom personnel employed by local school systems are covered by the Public School Employees Retirement System of Georgia (PSERS). All employer's contributions are made by the State of Georgia in accordance with State statute.

Note 12: RETIREMENT PLANS 
PSERS provides, in accordance with State statute, service retirement, disability retirement and survivors benefits for its members. A mf.mber is eligible for normal service retirement after 10 years of service and attainment of age 65. A member applying for service retirement with 10 years of service and retires between the ages of 60 and 65 receives a reduced benefit. Monthly retirement benefits paid to members are equal to $8.00 per month multiplied by the number ofyears of creditable service. Options are available for distribution ofthe member's monthly pension at a reduced rate to a designated beneficiary on the member's death. 
Retirement provisions include death and disability benefits. Disability benefits are the same as if the employee had retired at age 65 as long as the employee has 15 or more years of creditable service. Death benefits are dependent upon the number of years of service. Ifthere are less than ten years of service, a lump sum refund ofthe employee's contributions and interest are made to the beneficiary. Ifthere are more than ten years of service, the beneficiary shall receive for life half of what the employee would have received upon retirement. 
Members become fully vested after ten years of service. If a member terminates with less than ten years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions are refunded with interest. 
There were 2,016 employees covered under PSERS for the year ended June 30, 1996. 
PSERS CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED AND MADE Covered employees are required by State statute to contribute $4.00 a month for the nine month school year. Unlike TRS, the Board makes no contribution to PSERS. The State of Georgia is required by statute to make employer contributions actuarially determined and approved and certified by the PSERS' Board of Trustees. Total contributions from employees of the Board made during fiscal year 1996 amounted to $67,004.00. Total contribution for all school systems made by the State of Georgia to PSERS for fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, was $9,817,769.80.

COMPLIANCE REPORT BASED ON AN AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated July 1, 1997. 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 Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. 
Compliance with laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to DeKalb County Board of Education is the responsibility of the Board's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the Board's compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our audit of the financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such provisions. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported herein under Government Auditing Standards.

SINGLE AUDIT REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated July 1, 1997. 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 have applied procedures to test the DeKalb County Board of Education's compliance with the following requirements applicable to each of its Federal financial assistance programs, which are listed in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance, for the year ended June 30, 1996: 
 
(1) Political Activity 
 
(5) Allowable Costs/Cost Principles 
 
(2) Civil Rights 
 
(6) Drug-Free Workplace Act 
 
(3) Cash Management 
 
(7) Audit Follow-Up/Resolution 
 
(4) Federal Financial Reports 
 
(8) Administrative Requirements 
 
Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of Management and Budget's "Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments" and other additional procedures as deemed necessary. Our procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on the DeKalb County Board of Education's compliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 
 
96CRL-50 
 
 With respect to the items tested, the results of those procedures disclosed no material instances of noncompliance with the requirements listed in the second paragraph of this report. With respect to items not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the DeKalb County Board of Education had not complied, in all material respects, with those requirements. However, the results of our procedures disclosed immaterial instances of noncompliance with those requirements, which are described in the Schedule of Findings and Improper or Questioned Costs. 
This report is intended for the information of management, the Federal cognizant audit agency and other Federal grantor agencies. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report which is a matter of public record.

SINGLE AUDIT OPINION ON COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO MAJOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS 
 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated July 1, 1997. 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 have also audited the DeKalb County Board of Education's compliance with the requirements governing: 
 
(1) Types of Services Allowed or Unallowed 
 
(5) Applicable Special Tests and Provisions 
 
(2) Eligibility 
(3) Matching, Level of Effort, and/or Earmarking 
 
(6) Other Requirement Claims for Advances and Reimbursements 
 
(4) Reporting 
 
These requirements are applicable to the major Federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance, for the year ended June 30, 1996. The management of the DeKalb County Board of Education is responsible for the Board's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance with those requirements based on our audit. 
 
96CRL-90 
 
 We conducted our audit ofcompliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States; and Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments". Those standards and 0MB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the requirements referred to above occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the DeKalb County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
The results of our audit procedures disclosed an immaterial instance ofnoncompliance with the requirements referred to above which is described in the Schedule of Findings and Improper or Questioned Costs. We considered this instance ofnoncompliance in forming our opinion on compliance, which is expressed in the following paragraph. 
In our opinion, the DeKalb County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the requirements as disclosed in the second paragraph that are applicable to its major Federal financial assistance programs for the year ended June 30, 1996. 
This report is intended for the information of management, the Federal cognizant audit agency and other Federal grantor agencies. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report which is a matter ofpublic record.

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated July 1, 1997. 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. 
In connection with our audit of the fiscal year 1996 general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education and with our consideration of the Board's control structure used to administer Federal financial assistance programs, as required by Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A128, "Audits of State and Local Governments", we selected certain transactions applicable to certain nonmajor Federal financial assistance programs for the year ended June 30, 1996. As required by 0MB Circular A-128, we have performed auditing procedures on the selected transactions to test compliance with the requirements governing:

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated July 1, 1997. 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 Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. 
The management of the DeKalb County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation ofgeneral purpose financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because 
of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not 
be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate. 
96ICL-3 
 
 In planning and performing our audit ofthe general purpose financial statements ofthe DeKalb County Board 
ofEducation for the year ended June 30, 1996, we obtained an understanding ofthe internal control structure. With respect to the internal control structure, we obtained an understanding ofthe design ofrelevant policies and procedures and whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose ofexpressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control structure. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 
We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation ofthe internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the general purpose financial statements. 
As described in the Schedule ofFindings and Improper or Questioned Costs, reportable conditions were noted in the following control categories: 
(1) Accounting Controls (Overall) 
(2) Cash and Cash Equivalents 
(3) General Ledger 
(4) General Fixed Assets 
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in amounts that would be material in relation to the general purpose 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 structure would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. However, we believe that the reportable conditions disclosed above are also considered to be material weaknesses. 
These conditions were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the procedures to be performed in our audit ofthe DeKalb County Board of Education's financial statements and this report does not affect our report thereon dated July I, 1997.

SINGLE AUDIT REPORT ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE USED IN ADMINISTERING FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the DeKalb County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, and have issued our report thereon dated July 1, 1997. 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 have also audited the Board's compliance with requirements applicable to major Federal financial assistance programs and have issued our opinion thereon dated July 1, 1997. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the provisions of Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments". Those standards and 0MB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether the DeKalb County Board ofEducation complied with laws and regulations, noncompliance with which would be material to a major Federal financial assistance program. 
In planning and performing our audit for the year ended June 30, 1996, we considered the Board's internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the Board's general purpose financial statements and on its compliance with requirements applicable to major Federal financial assistance programs and to report on the internal control structure in accordance with 0MB Circular A-128. This report addresses our consideration of internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to compliance with requirements applicable to Federal financial assistance programs. We have addressed internal control structure policies and procedures relevant to our audit of the general purpose financial statements in a separate report dated July 1, 1997.

 The management ofthe DeKalb County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining 
an internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are 
required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that, assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of general purpose :financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that Federal financial assistance programs are managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors, irregularities, or instances of noncompliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness ofthe design and operation ofpolicies and procedures may deteriorate. 
 
For the purpose of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and procedures used in administering Federal financial assistance programs in the following control categories:

For all of the internal control structure categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and determined whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk. 
 
During the year ended June 30, 1996, the DeKalb County Board of Education expended 84% of its total Federal financial assistance under major Federal financial assistance programs. 
 
We performed tests of controls, as required by 0MB Circular A-128, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we considered relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with general requirements and specific requirements as described above that are applicable to each ofthe Board's major Federal financial assistance programs, which 
 
96ICL-7 
 
 are identified in the Schedule ofFederal Financial Assistance. Our procedures were less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. 
We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Board's ability to administer Federal financial assistance programs in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. 
As described in the Schedule ofFindings and Improper or Questioned Costs, reportable conditions were noted in the following control category: 
Administrative Requirements 
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation ofone or more of the internal control structure elements does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that noncompliance with laws and regulations that would be material to a Federal financial assistance program 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 structure policies and procedures used in administering Federal financial assistance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses as defined above. However, we believe that the reportable conditions described above are also considered to be material weaknesses. 
These conditions were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the procedures to be performed in our audit ofthe DeKalb County Board of Education's compliance with requirements applicable to its major Federal financial assistance programs for the year ended June 30, 1996, and this report does not affect our report thereon dated July 1, 1997. 
This report is intended for the information of management, the Federal cognizant audit agency and other Federal grantor agencies and should not be used for any other purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report which is a matter of public record.

PRIOR YEAR 
AUDIT FOLLOW-UP/RESOLUTION Failure to Meet Expenditure Requirements Financial Statements Finding Resolved Audit Control Number 6441-93-03 
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1993, stated that the Board had an underexpenditure of Quality Basic Education (QBE) funds of$28,070.00 for the StaffDevelopment - Professional Development Program. During the year under review, an adjustment was made to the Board's local fair share by the Georgia Department of Education to refund the underexpenditure as required. 
AUDIT FOLLOW-UP/RESOLUTION Failure to Meet Expenditure Requirements Financial Statements Amount: $243,938.16 Audit Control Number 6441-94-01 
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1994, reported that the Board had an underexpenditure of Quality Basic Education (QBE) funds of$243,938.16 for the StaffDevelopment-Professional Development Stipends Program. For the year under review, no adjustment was made to the Board's local fair share by the Georgia Department of Education to refund this underexpenditure as required. The underexpenditure of $243,938.16 should be returned to the Georgia Department of Education through an increase in the Board's local fair share for the QBE programs in a subsequent fiscal period. 
PRIOR YEAR/CURRENT YEAR 
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Financial Statements Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Audit Control Number 6441-93-01 
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1995, noted that the management of the DeKalb County Board of Education had chosen not to maintain a system-wide General Fixed Assets Account Group within the formal accounting records as required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the year under review, the Board did not establish a General Fixed Assets Account Group within the formal accounting records. This condition results in the general purpose financial statements of the Board being incomplete and not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Appropriate action should be taken by the Board to establish accounting controls and procedures to provide for maintenance ofa General Fixed Assets Account Group. These subsidiary records should include an inventory ofland, buildings and equipment owned by the Board and should include, but may not be limited to, date acquired, acquisition cost, estimated replacement cost, location and description. Detailed records should be maintained of all additions and deletions to the General Fixed Assets Account Group.

ACCOUNTING CONTROLS (OVERALL) - Financial Statements ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS - Federal Financial Assistance Inadequate Separation of Duties Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Audit Control Number 6441-95-01 
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1995, noted that the DeKalb Technical Institute had not provided for adequate separation ofemployee duties in the performance ofaccounting functions and related procedures. During the year under review, no improvements were noted. This condition was a result of management not assigning employee duties in a manner to adequately safeguard assets and/or promote efficiency and accuracy in key accounting functions. The DeKalb Technical Institute should formulate and implement changes in personnel to achieve an adequate system of internal control for key accounting functions. 
Note: Federal financial assistance programs affected by this finding are as follows: 
Job Training Partnership Act (CFDA 17.250) Vocational Education (CFDA 84.048) Refugee and Entrant Assistance - Discretionary Grant (CFDA 93.576) 
ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS Inadequate Financial Records Federal Financial Assistance Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Nonmaterial Noncompliance Audit Control Number 6441-95-02 
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1995, noted that accounting records applicable to the DeKalb Technical Institute for the Job Training Partnership Act program (CFDA 17.250) funded through the Atlanta Regional Commission, DeKalb Private Industry Council, Incorporated and the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education were not maintained on an individual contract basis. During the year under review, the DeKalb Technical Institute again failed to maintain accounting records on an individual contract basis as required. Accounting records should be adequately segregated to ensure identification of revenues and expenditures on a contract by contract basis as required by 34 CFR 80.20.

OTHER REQUIREMENT - CLAIMS FOR ADVANCES AND REIMBURSEMENTS Failure to Submit Monthly Request for Reimbursement on a Timely Basis Federal Financial Assistance Nonmaterial Noncompliance Audit Control Number 6441-95-03 
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1995, noted that the DeKalb Technical Institute failed to submit monthly requests for reimbursement on a timely basis to the Atlanta Regional Commission and the DeKalb Private Industry Council, Incorporated from whom the Institute received Job Training Partnership Act (CFDA 17.250) program funds. During the year under review, the Institute again failed to submit monthly requests for reimbursement on a timely basis. Agreements with the aforementioned grantors require that monthly requests for reimbursement for expenditures/charges incurred be submitted by the fifth day of the following month. This condition occurred because management failed to ensure timely submission of request for reimbursement. The Institute should establish procedures to ensure that requests are submitted as required by the grant agreements. 
CURRENT YEAR 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Inadequate Accounting Procedures Financial Statements Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Audit Control Number 6441-96-01 
For the year under review, the accounting procedures applicable to the DeKalb Technical Institute were inadequate to provide for adequate internal control over cash assets of the Board. Deficiencies are summarized as follows: 
(1) The June 1996 bank reconciliation for the general operating account did not agree with the general ledger presented for audit. 
(2) Deposits in transit on the bank reconciliation at fiscal year-end for the general operating account did not clear the bank statement in July and personnel at the DeKalb Technical Institute could not provide any supporting documentation concerning these deposits. 
(3) Bank reconciliations were not prepared in a timely manner for all of fiscal year 1996. A review of bank reconciliations indicates a delay of thirteen (13) months between month end and reconciliation date.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Inadequate Accounting Procedures Financial Statements Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Audit Control Number 6441-96-01 
(4) Numerous checks outstanding at June 30, 1995 were outstanding in excess of twelve (12) months and some checks were outstanding for as long as fifteen (15) months. This occurred even though DeKalb Technical Institute's policy is to void checks 90 days after issuance. As of June 30, 1996, the general operating account had fourteen (14) checks totaling $1,758.75 from the June 30, 1995 outstanding check list which were still outstanding. 
(5) A review of checks issued for the general operating account disclosed that checks were not issued sequentially. 
These deficiencies were a result of management's failure to adequately manage cash assets of the DeKalb Technical Institute. The Board should establish internal controls to ensure that monthly bank statements are reconciled with the accounting records on a timely basis, checks are voided according to the Institute's policy and checks are issued in sequential order. 
EXPENDITURES/LIABILITIES/DISBURSEMENTS Unearned Lottery Funds Financial Statements Nonmaterial Noncompliance Amount: $52,550.00 Audit Control Number 6441-96-02 
For the year under review, it was noted that the DeKalb Technical Institute received $52,550.00 in Hope Financial Aid Program funds in excess ofthe amount needed to cover program expenditures. This situation occurred because of management's failure to properly void checks in the general operating cash account and lack of awareness of the program procedures and requirements concerning the Hope Financial Aid Program. The Institute should develop procedures to ensure Hope Financial Aid Program checks are properly voided. The Institute should refund unearned lottery funds in the amount of $52,550.00 to the Georgia Student Finance Commission.

GENERAL LEDGER Inadequate Accounting Procedures Financial Statements Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Audit Control Number 6441-96-03 
 
For the year under review, the general ledger as presented for audit by the DeKalb Technical Institute was out ofbalance. This condition occurred because management did not reconcile and correct the accounting records of the Institute in a timely manner. This condition first occurred in January 1996 and management waited until the June 1996 bank statement was reconciled in May 1997 to correct the general ledger for fiscal year 1996. The DeKalb Technical Institute should establish procedures to ensure that monthly general ledgers are analyzed and corrected in a timely manner. 
 
GENERAL LEDGER Inadequate Accounting Procedures Financial Statements Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Audit Control Number 6441-96-04 
 
The general ledger for the DeKalb Technical Institute as presented for audit was not closed out at the end of the fiscal year (June 30, 1996). This condition occurred because the management of the Institute disregarded proper accounting procedures. Procedures should be developed to ensure that general ledgers are closed out in a timely manner and records presented for audit are in correct order.

This situation occurred because the Board failed to establish procedures to ensure timely submission ofthe project completion reports as required by the Georgia Department of Education. Appropriate procedures should be implemented by the Board to ensure that each completion report is submitted by the required due date. 
FEDERAL FINANCIAL REPORTS Expired Grant Balance/Questioned Cost Federal Financial Assistance Nonmaterial Noncompliance Amount $59.12 Audit Control Number 6441-96-06 
An analysis ofthe Job Training Partnership Act (CFDA 17.250) projects funded by the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education for the DeKalb Technical Institute revealed an unexpended grant balance in the amount of$59.12. This situation occurred because the management ofthe DeKalb Technical Institute did not properly account for its Job Training Partnership Act funds on a contract-by-contract basis. As a result, revenues and expenditures were not correctly recorded and analyzed. The unexpended grant balance of$59.12 should be refunded to the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education. 
ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS Inadequate Inventory Records Federal Financial Assistance Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Nonmaterial Noncompliance Audit Control Number 6441-96-07

Inadequate Inventory Records Federal Financial Assistance Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Nonmaterial Noncompliance Audit Control Number 6441-96-07 
The inventory records as presented for audit did not contain additions for certain purchases made in the period under review. This condition occurred because management did not ensure that all equipment purchases were included in property management records. An inventory system should be implemented that provides for the identification of all equipment purchased as outlined in Chapter 41, of the FMGLUA. Perpetual records should include historical information regarding additions and deletions made to the equipment inventory during each fiscal year (when applicable). Periodic physical inventory counts should be performed and reconciled to the property records to ensure the accuracy of inventory records. 
REPORTING DE O106 not Supported by Accounting Records Federal Financial Assistance Major Program Nonmaterial Noncompliance Audit Control Number 6441-96-08 
A comparison of the Board's School Nutrition Claim Data Form (DE 0106) and the accounting records for the Food Distribution Program (CFDA 10.550) revealed that the Board could not support the amounts reported for the USDA Commodities ending inventory and the USDA Commodities received per month. This condition occurred due to management's failure to maintain documentation to support the accuracy of reports submitted to the Georgia Department of Education in accordance with the State Agency's School Nutrition Program record keeping guide. U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations included in 7 CFR 210.9, 3015 and 250.16 mandate that financial management systems provide for accurate, complete and current disclosure of the financial results of these U. S. Department of Agriculture programs. Procedures should be implemented to ensure that the DE 0106 Forms are accurate, verifiable to the accounting records and adequately documented.
