Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Emanuel County Board of Education
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying general-purpose financial statements of the Emanuel County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, as listed in the table of contents. These general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Emanuel County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general-purpose financial statements based on our audit.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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.
We did not observe the taking of either the Federal donated commodities inventory or purchased foods inventory at June 30, 2002, nor could we satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the amounts stated as inventories through alternative procedures.

2002ARL-13

As described in the notes to the general-purpose financial statements, the Board of Education's financial statements have been prepared using certain accounting practices and policies which, in our opinion, vary in some respects from generally accepted accounting principles. These variances are described as follows:
* The general-purpose financial statements of the Board of Education did not contain a General Fixed Assets Account Group to account for property and equipment owned by the Board of Education which should be included to conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
* School activity accounts maintained at the individual schools are not included in the general-purpose financial statements. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, these accounts should be included in the general-purpose financial statements.
* For fiscal year 2002, the School District changed its method of accounting for the final two payments on one hundred and ninety day employment contracts and the related revenue due from the State to fund these contracts. Adjustments have been made in the fiscal year 2002 financial statements to record expenditures for salaries and fringe benefits earned by employees through June 30, 2002, (even though paid in July and August 2002) and the related revenue due from the State to fund these contracts. No adjustment was made for the similar salaries and benefits earned in fiscal year 200 l but recorded in fiscal year 2002 as this information was not readily available. The net effect of the above accounting treatment resulted in the accompanying financial statements reflecting fourteen months of expenditures for a majority of General Fund salaries and fringe benefits and fourteen months of revenue from the State to fund these contracts. Generally accepted accounting principles require that expenditures 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 of such adjustments, if any, on the Special Revenue Fund, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the food service inventories as discussed in the third paragraph, and except for the effects on the general-purpose financial statements of the matters referred to in the preceding paragraph, the general-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position ofthe Emanuel County Board ofEducation as ofJune 30, 2002, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated August 1, 2003, on our consideration of the Emanuel County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
2002ARL-13

contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements of the Emanuel County Board of Education taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E through H) and the financial schedules (Schedules I through 5), which includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by U. S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general-purpose financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe general-purpose financial statements and in our opinion, except for the effect ofadjustments, ifany, on the Special Revenue Fund, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy ofthe food service inventories as discussed in the third paragraph, and except for the effects of the matters referred to in the fourth paragraph, such information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the general-purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy ofthis report has been filed as a permanent record in the office ofthe State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Section 506-24.
Respectfully submitted,

RWH:as 2002ARL-13

NOTES TO THE GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2002

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Emanuel County Board of Education (School District) was established under the laws of the State of Georgia and operates under the guidance of a school board elected by the voters and a Superintendent appointed by the Board. The School District is organized as a separate legal entity and has the power to levy taxes and issue bonds. Its budget is not subject to approval by any other entity. Accordingly, the School District is a primary government and consists of all the organizations that compose its legal entity.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The School District 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 School District. 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.
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 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 School District, 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 of the School District's educational activities. Governmental Fund Types include:
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources of the School District 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.

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 received primarily from the Georgia Department of Education and from the Federal government to accomplish specific educational objectives.
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.
ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A financial reporting device used to account for general obligation debt outstanding.
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.
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 of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The School District considers receivables collected within sixty days after yearend to be available. Property taxes, sales taxes and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Nonexchange transactions, in which the School District gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, local option sales taxes, intergovernmental grants and donations. Revenue for property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from sales taxes is recognized in the fiscal year the resources are received or susceptible to accrual. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.
For fiscal year 2002, the School District changed its method of accounting for the final two payments on one hundred and ninety day contracts and for the related revenue due from the State to fund these contracts. Adjustments have been made in the fiscal year 2002 financial statements to record expenditures for salaries and fringe benefits earned by employees through June 30, 2002, (even though paid in July and August 2002) and the related revenue due from the State to fund these contracts. This change is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. No adjustment was made for the similar salaries and benefits earned in fiscal year 2001 but recorded in fiscal year 2002 as this information was not readily available.
The net effect ofthe above accounting treatment resulted in the accompanying financial statements reflecting fourteen months of expenditures for a majority of General Fund salaries and fringe benefits and the related revenue due from the State to fund these contracts. 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.
BUDGET
The Emanuel County Board of Education's budget is a complete financial plan for the School District's fiscal year and is based upon estimates of expenditures together with probable funding sources. There is no statutory prohibition regarding overexpenditure ofthe 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 aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles.
The budget process begins when the School District's administration prepares a tentative budget for the Board's approval. After approval ofthis tentative budget by the Board, such budget is advertised at least once in a newspaper ofgeneral circulation in the locality. At the next regular meeting ofthe Board after advertisement, the Board receives comments on the tentative budget, makes revisions as necessary and adopts a final school budget. This final budget is then submitted, in accordance with provisions of the Quality Basic Education Act, OCGA Section 20-2-167(c), to the Georgia Department of Education. The Board may increase or decrease the budget at any time during the year. All unexpended budget authority lapses at fiscal year-end.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist ofcash on hand, demand deposits and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws OCGA 45-8-14 authorize the School District to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks or insured Federal savings and loan associations.

RECEIVABLES

Receivables consist of grant reimbursements due on Federal, State or other grants for expenditures made but not reimbursed and other receivables disclosed from information available. Receivables are recorded when either the asset or revenue recognition criteria has been met. Receivables recorded on the general-purpose financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables.

PROPERTY TAXES

The Emanuel County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 2001 tax digest year (calendar year) on December 5, 2001 (levy date). Taxes were due on February 28, 2002 (lien date). Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end on the 200 I tax digest are reported as revenue in fiscal year 2002. The Emanuel County Tax Commissioner bills and collects the property taxes for the School District, withholds 2.5% of taxes collected as a fee for tax collection and remits the balance of taxes collected to the School District. Property tax revenues during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 for maintenance and operations amounted to $3,167,382.18 and for school bonds amounted to $571.36.

The tax millage rate levied for the 2001 tax year (calendar year) for the Emanuel County Board of Education was as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value):

School Operations

9.08 mills

SALES TAXES

Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax revenue during the year amounted to $1,985,306.31 and is to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes or debt service. This sales tax was authorized by local referendum and the sales tax must be re-authorized at least every five years.

INVENTORIES

FOOD INVENTORIES 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 (first-in, first-out). 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.

Note 4: RISK MANAGEMENT

The School District is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors or omissions; job related illness or injuries to employees; acts of God and unemployment compensation.

The School District participates in the Georgia School Boards Association Risk and Insurance Management System, a public entity risk pool organized on July 1, 1994, to develop and administer a plan to reduce risk of loss on account of general liability, motor vehicle liability, or property damage, including safety engineering and other loss prevention and control techniques, and to administer one or more groups of self-insurance funds, including the processing and defense of claims brought against members of the system. The School District pays an annual premium to the system for its general insurance coverage. Additional coverage is provided through agreements by the system with other companies according to their specialty for property, boiler and machinery (including coverage for flood and earthquake), general liability (including coverage for sexual harassment, molestation and abuse) and automobile risks. Payment of excess insurance for the system varies by line of coverage.

The School District is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. A premium is charged when needed by the General Fund to each user fund on the basis ofthe percentage of that fund's payroll to total payroll in order to cover estimated claims budgeted by management based on known claims and prior experience. The School District accounts for claims 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.

Changes in the unemployment compensation claims liability during the last two fiscal years are as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF AUDITS AND ACCOUNTS
254 Washington Street, SW. Suite 214 Atlanta, Georgia 30334-8400
August I, 2003

Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Emanuel County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the financial statements of Emanuel County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, and have issued our report thereon dated August I, 2003. This report was qualified for a scope limitation and for various departures from generally accepted accounting principles, as identified in the auditor's report on the general-purpose financial statements. Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
We did not observe the taking of either the Federal donated commodities inventory or the purchased foods inventory at June 30, 2002, nor could we satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the amounts stated as inventories through alternative procedures.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Emanuel County Board of Education's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination offinancial statement amounts. However. providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results ofour tests disclosed no instances ofnoncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
2002YB-41

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Emanuel County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we noted a certain matter involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be a reportable condition. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting that, in ourjudgment, could adversely affect Emanuel County Board of Education's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with assertions of management in the financial statements. The reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item FS-6531-02-01.
A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, we consider item FS-6531-02-01 to be a material weakness.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management, members of the Emanuel County Board of Education, Federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Emanuel County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH 0MB CIRCULAR A-133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Emanuel County Board of Education with the types of compliance requirements described in the US Office ofManagement and Budget (0MB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2002. Emanuel County Board of Education's major Federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditor's Results Section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major Federal programs is the responsibility of Emanuel County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Emanuel County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and 0MB Circular Al 33. Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and 0MB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types ofcompliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Emanuel County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on Emanuel County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements.
2002SA-10

In our opinion, the Emanuel County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2002.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Emanuel County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to Federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Emanuel County Board of Education's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with 0MB Circular A-133.
Our consideration ofthe internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level of risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major Federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

II FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Repeated From Prior Year Finding Control Number FS-6531-02-01 The Emanuel County School District did not maintain a system-wide General Fixed Assets Account Group within the formal accounting records as required by generally accepted accounting principles. This condition results in the general-purpose financial statements of the School District being incomplete and not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Appropriate action should be taken by the School District to establish accounting controls and procedures to provide for maintenance ofa General Fixed Assets Account Group. These subsidiary records should include an inventory of land, buildings and equipment owned by the School District 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. III FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS No matters were reported.
