Honorable Zell Miller, Governor Members ofthe General Assembly Members of the State Board ofEducation
and Superintendent and Members of the Elbert County Board ofEducation
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) of the Elbert County Board ofEducation, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the 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.
94ARL-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, 1994, a portion of salaries and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1994. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 1994, 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, 1993, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 1994. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, revenues should be recorded when available and measurable and expenditures should be recorded when incurred, rather than when funds are received or disbursed.
The aggregate effects on the general purpose financial statements of these variances or omissions have not been determined, but are believed to be material.
In our opinion, except for the effects on the general purpose financial statements ofthe matters referred to in the preceding paragraph, the general purpose financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Elbert County Board of Education as of June 30, 1994, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its nonexpendable trust funds for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose offorming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements of the Elbert County Board ofEducation taken as a whole. The combining statements (Exhibits G through I) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 10 which includes the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance) are presented for purposes ofadditional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the Elbert 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.
A copy ofthis 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,
d~~
Claude L. Vickers State Auditor

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Elbert County Board ofEducation (Board) was established under the laws of the State of Georgia and operates under the guidance of a school board and Superintendent, both elected by the voters. With the exception of the departures from generally accepted accounting principles disclosed in the following paragraphs, the financial statements of the Board have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting standards.
The more significant ofthe Board's accounting policies are described below.
REPORTING ENTITY
In evaluating how to define the government 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 Elbert County Board of Education.
Based upon the application of the above criteria, the Elbert County Board ofEducation is determined to be the lowest level of government exercising oversight responsibility and control over all activities related to public education in Elbert County, Georgia. 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, except for the Superintendent who was also elected, 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 ofits operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities.
A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. An account group is a financial reporting device designed to provide accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in the funds because they do not directly affect expendable available financial resources.
General Fixed Assets are recorded as expenditures in the various funds at the time of purchase. A General Fixed Assets Account Group is not presently maintained by the Board. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, a General Fixed Assets Account Group should be maintained for reporting the cost of assets acquired by governmental fund types.

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Although "school activity accounts" are maintained at the individual schools, neither the assets, liabilities and fund equity, nor the revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances of these accounts are reflected in these financial statements. To confollD 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, Local and Other Funds under control ofthe 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 general 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 traditionally provided by a board of education.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. These funds are 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. Also included are proceeds received from State, Federal, Local and Other sources for operations of the school food services fund. This fund could be accounted for as an enterprise fund; however, the Board chooses not to provide for depreciation, but to maintain the fund on a modified accrual basis and to report the fund as a special revenue fund under governmental fund types, which is acceptable under generally accepted accounting principles for governmental entities.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND - the fund used to account for financial resources to be used for the State Financing and Investment Commission project No. 88-652-060
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE - the trust 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:
NONEXPENDABLETRUSTFUNDS John Olin Vickery Scholarship Fund and the Julia Cohen Wolfe Scholarship Fund - the funds used to account for endowments of which the corpus is to be invested and preserved intact with the resultant income to be used to provide awards to High School Students for future education.

ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - used to account for material capital lease obligations.
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 nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets.
Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis ofaccounting 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, 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.
A departure from the above definitions is the accounting treatment afforded the final two payments on General Fund teachers' and bus drivers' contracts, and the resources available from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share ofthese contracts. During fiscal year 1994, a substantial number of personnel of the Board were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in late August 1993 and ending in early June 1994. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 1993 and ending in August 1994. State grants to fund the State's share of these contracts were disbursed from the Georgia Department of Education to the

Board in the same twelve months. As ofJune 30, 1994, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two of the twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 1994, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30, 1994. Also, the State's portion of the compensation paid in July and August 1994 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 1994. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1993, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 1994. 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 nonexpendable trust funds. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
BUDGET
The Elbert County Board of Education has a legally authorized nonappropriated budget which is formally approved by the Board at the aggregate level. Budgets are prepared to provide a basis for funding operations and there is no legal prohibition regarding overexpenditure of the aggregate budget. The budget process begins when the Board's administration prepares a tentative aggregated 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 ofgeneral 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 prepares its budget on the modified accrual basis, which is the same basis on which it presents its financial statements. The budget comparison on Exhibit "C" presents actual and budget data for all governmental funds on a combined basis. To facilitate comparison with the budget, donated and purchased food inventories as reflected on Exhibit "B" have been eliminated from fund balance.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits (including certificates of deposit and savings accounts) in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws authorize the Board to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks, insured Federal savings and loan associations, or insured State chartered building and loan associations. The placement of proceeds from bond issues in certificates of deposit is limited to financial institutions located within this State.

RECEIVABLES

Receivables consist ofgrant reimbursements due from Federal, State or other grantors 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 general purpose financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables.

PROPERTY TAXES

The Elbert County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 1993 tax year (calendar year) on September 13, 1993 (levy date). Taxes were due on December 20, 1993. The lien date for property taxes was January 1, 1993. Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end are reported as revenue in fiscal year 1994 since their collection meets the criteria of GASB codification section P70.103. The Elbert County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the Board of Education, withholds 2.5% of taxes collected as a fee for tax collection, and remits the balance of taxes collected to the Board.

The tax millage rate levied for the 1993 tax year (calendar year) for the Elbert County Board ofEducation was as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value):

School Operations

.1.U.6 mills

INVENTORIES

FOOD INVENTORIES Inventories of donated food commodities used in the preparation of meals are reported on the Combined Balance Sheet at their Federally assigned value. Purchased foods inventories are reported on the Combined Balance Sheet at cost. Donated food commodities are recorded as revenues and expenditures at the time commodity items are received. Purchased foods inventories are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. The inventories reported on the balance sheet for donated food commodities and for purchased foods are equally offset by reservations of fund balance which indicates that these amounts do not constitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component of net current assets.

INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS

The Board has the following type ofinterfund 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.

At June 30, 1994, the Board had encumbrances in the amount of$247,342.70 for the unperformed portion of purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for goods and services associated with the Lottery Programs. Lottery funds in the amount of $247,314.70 are available to fund these encumbrances. Encumbrances outstanding do not constitute expenditures or liabilities in the current year because these commitments will be honored during the subsequent fiscal year. These encumbrances are identified by Lottery Program as follows:

Computers in Classrooms

Note 7: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Amounts received or receivable principally from the Federal government are subject to audit and review by grantor agencies. This could result in requests for reimbursement to the grantor agency for any expenditures which are disaJlowed under grant terms. The Board believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial to its overall financial position.

Note 8: 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. 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 ofyears 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.

ELBERT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION

EXHIBIT "F"

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30 1994

Note 8: RETIREMENT PLANS

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 ofemployer 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, 1994, was $9,308,274.65; total payroll was $10,572,221.59.

TRS CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED AND MADE Employees of the Board who are covered by TRS are required to contribute 6% of their gross earnings to TRS. The Board makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 1994 that rate for employer contributions was 11.81%. The interest rate assumption (rate ofreturn on investments) was 7.50%.

Total contributions made during fiscal year 1994 amounted to $1,657,803.85, ofwhich $1,099,308.72 was made by the Board and $558,495.13 was made by employees. These contributions represented 11.81% (Board) and 6% (employees) of covered payroll.

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 ofthe 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 ofJune 30, 1993, was as follows:

Total pension benefit obligation

$13,912,014,000.00

Net assets available for benefits, at cost

12 821 722 000.00

Note 8: RETIREMENT PLANS
The measurement ofthe total pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as ofJune 30, 1993. 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, 1994 were $521,550,000.00. The Board's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1994 of $1,099,308.72 was actuarially determined and represented .2108% oftotal contributions made by all participating employers.
Ten year historical trend information is presented in the 1994 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.
PSERS provides service retirement, disability retirement and survivors benefits for its members. A member is eligible for normal service retirement after 10 years ofservice and attainment of age 65. A member applying for service retirement with 10 years of service and retires between the ages of60 and 65 receives a reduced benefit. Monthly retirement benefits paid to members are equal to $8.00 per month multiplied by the number of years of creditable service. Options are available for distribution of the 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 ofyears 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 107 employees covered under PSERS for the year ended June 30, 1994.

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 Elbert County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 1995. 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 Elbert County Board ofEducation 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 indicate that, with respect to the items tested, the Elbert County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph. With respect to items not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the Board had not complied, in all material respects, with those provisions.

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 Elbert County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 1995. 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 Elbert County Board of Education's compliance with the following requirements applicable to each ofits Federal financial assistance programs, which are listed in the Schedule ofFederal Financial Assistance, for the year ended June 30, 1994:

(1) Political Activity

(5) Allowable Costs/Cost Principles

(2) Civil Rights

(6) Audit Follow-Up/Resolution

(3) Cash Management

(7) Administrative Requirements

(4) Federal Financial Reports

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 Board's compliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

94CRL-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 Elbert County Board ofEducation had not complied, in all material respects, with those requirements. However, the results of our procedures disclosed immaterial instances ofnoncompliance 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 ofthe Elbert County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 1995. 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 Elbert 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 ofEffort, 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 ofFederal Financial Assistance, for the year ended June 30, 1994. The management of the Elbert 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.

94CRL-80

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the 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 Elbert County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the Elbert County Board ofEducation 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, 1994.
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.

Honorable Zell Miller, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members ofthe State Board ofEducation

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Elbert County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, and have issued our report thereon dated June 30, 1995. 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 Standardt 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.
In planning and performing our audit of the general purpose financial statements of the Elbert County Board of Education for the year ended June 30, 1994, we considered the internal control structure in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control structure.
The management ofthe Elbert 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 ar.e 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 ofinherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not
94ICL-3

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.

For the purposes of this report, we have classified the significant internal control structure policies and procedures in the following categories:

(1) Cash and Cash Equivalents

(6) Employee Compensation

(2) Inventories

(7) General Ledger

(3) Revenue/Receivables/Receipts

(8) General Fixed Assets

(4) Procurement

(5) Expenditures/Liabilities/ Disbursements

For all ofthe internal control categories listed above, we obtained an understanding of the design of relevant policies and procedures and whether they have been placed in operation, and we assessed control risk.

We noted a certain matter involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be a reportable a condition 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, a reportable condition was noted in the following control category:

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 condition disclosed above is also considered to be a material weakness.

94ICL-3

This condition was considered in detemrining the nature, timing, and extent of the procedures to be performed in our audit ofthe Elbert County Board ofEducation's financial statements and this report does not affect our report thereon dated June 30, 1995.
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.

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 Elbert 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, 1994, 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 June 30, 1995.
94ICL-6

The management ofthe Elbert County Board ofEducation 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 of the design and operation of policies 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:

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

(1) Political Activity (2) Civil Rights (3) Cash Management (4) Federal Financial Reports

(1) Types of Services Allowed or Unallowed
(2) Eligibility
(3) Matching, Level ofEffort, and/or Earmarking

(5) Allowable Costs/Cost Principles

(4) Reporting

(6) Audit Follow-Up/Resolution (7) Administrative Requirements

(5) Applicable Special Tests and Provisions
(6) Other Requirements Claims for Advances and Reimbursements

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, 1994, the Elbert County Board ofEducation expended 63% 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

94ICL-6

described above that are applicable to each of the Board's major Federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the Schedule of Federal 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 ofthe 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 categories:
(I) Federal Financial Reports
(2) Allowable Costs/ Cost Principles
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one 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 none of the reportable conditions described above is a material weakness.
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 ofthis report which is a matter of public record.
Respectfully submitted,

GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Financial Statements Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Audit Control Number 6521-93-03
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1993, noted that the management of Elbert 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 of a 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.

A review of the award documentation revealed that $300.00 was awarded during fiscal year 1994, and this amount exceeded income earned by $117.17. This condition occurred because management disregarded the provisions ofthe Trust Agreement.
The Board should seek reimbursement for the $117.17 awarded in excess of income earned as stipulated in the trust agreement. These funds should be deposited to the Julia Cohen Wolfe Scholarship Fund and added to the fund's corpus.
