Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Jeff Davis 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 Jeff Davis County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility ofthe JeffDavis County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States. Those standards require that we plan and perfo1111 the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
ofipn1.ann1'coina.l statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
As described in the notes to the general purpose financial statements, the Board's financial statements have been prepared using certain accounting practices and policies which, in our opinion, vary in some respects from generally accepted accounting principles. These variances are described as follows:

2000ARL-13A


* The general purpose financial statements of the Board did not contain a General Fixed Assets Account Group to account for property and equipment owned by the Board . which should be included to confo1111 to generally accepted accounting principles.
* School activity accounts maintained at the individual schools are not included in the general purpose financial statements. To confo11n to generally accepted accounting principles, these accounts should be included in the general purpose financial statements.
* The Board did not recognize as expenditures, in the year ended June 30, 2000, a portion of salaries and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 2000. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 2000, from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these unrecorded salaries and related benefits were not recorded as revenue in the year under review. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 2000. To confo11n 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 fmancial statements of the matters referred to in the preceding paragraph, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Jeff Davis County Board of Education as ofJune 30, 2000, and the results ofits operations for the year then ended, in confon11ity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated July 16, 2001, on our consideration of the Jeff Davis County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit perfo11ned 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 perfo11ned for the purpose of fonning an opinion on the general purpose financial statements of the Jeff Davis County Board of Education taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E through H) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 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 info11nation has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe general purpose financial state1nents and in our opinion, except for the effects ofthe matters referred to in the third paragraph, such infotmation is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
2000ARL-13A

A copy ofthis report has been filed as a pe11nanent record in the office ofthe State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code ofGeorgia An, ,tated Section 50-
6-24.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2000

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Jeff Davis County Board of Education (Board) was established under the laws of the State of Georgia and operates under the guidance of a school board elected by the voters and a Superintendent appointed by the Board. The Board is organized as a separate legal entity and has the power to levy taxes and issue bonds. Its budget is not subject to approval by any other entity. Accordingly, the Board is a primary government and consists of all the organizations that compose its legal entity.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The Board uses funds and an account group to report on its 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 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 confo11n 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.

JUNE 30, 2000

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICJ,. 'r 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.
ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A financial reporting device used to account for accrued compensated absences and capital lease obligations.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measure1nent 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 ofthese funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Their reported fund balance is considered a measure of available spendable resources.
Liabilities which are expected to be fmanced 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-Te11n Debt Account Group.
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 of the transaction can be dete11nit1ed and ''available'' means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Those revenues considered susceptible to accrual are property taxes, local option sales taxes, intergovernmental grants and investment income.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.
A departure from the above definitions is the accounting treatment afforded the final two payments on General Fund teachers' and bus drivers' contracts, and the resources available from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these contracts. During fiscal year 2000, a substantial number of personnel of the Board were ernployed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in late August 1999 and ending in early June 2000. Personnel contracts for this

employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning

in September 1999 and ending in August 2000. State grants to fund the State's share of these

contracts were disbursed from the Georgia Department ofEducation to the Board in the same twelve

months. As ofJune 30, 2000, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but

two ofthe twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 2000, had not been made. Payments

for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30,

2000. Also, the State's portion ofthe compensation paid in July and August 2000 was received and

recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 2000. Conversely, the similar

expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999, were

recorded in the year ended June 30, 2000. Generally accepted accounting principles require that

revenues be recorded when available and measurable and that expenditures be recorded when

incurred, rather than when funds are received or disbursed.



BUDGET

The JeffDavis County Board ofEducation's budget is a complete financial plan for the Board's fiscal
year and is based upon estimates ofexpenditures together with probable funding sources. There is
no statutory prohibition regarding overexpenditure of the budget at any level. The budget for all
governmental funds is prepared by fund, function and object. The legal level ofbudget control was

established by the Board at the aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared on
a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles.

The budget process begins when the Board's administration prepares a tentative budget for the Board's approval. After approval ofthis tentative budget by the Board, such budget is advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the locality. At the next regular meeting 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(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 of deposits in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws OCGA 45-8-14 authorize the Board to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks, insured Federal savings and loan associations, or insured State chartered building and loan associations.

PROPERTY TAXES

The Jeff Davis County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 1999 tax year (calendar year) on October 14, 1999 (levy date). Taxes were due on December 30, 1999. The lien date for property taxes was January 1, 1999. Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end are reported as revenue in fiscal year 2000. The Jeff Davis 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 1999 tax year (calendar year) for the JeffDavis County Board of Education was as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value):

School Operations

12.75 mills

SALES TAXES
Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax is to be used for capital outlay for educational purposes. Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax revenue during the fiscal year amounted to $1,571,961.01 and was recorded in the Capital Projects Fund. The State will terrninate collection ofthis tax once an additional $5,128,038.99 has been collected or on June 30, 2004, whichever occurs first.

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 iterns are received. Purchased foods inventories are recorded as expenditures at the time ofpurchase. 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.

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.

A description of the Primary Liquidity Portfolio is as follows:
The Primary Liquidity Portfolio consists ofGeorgia Fund 1, which is a combination local and state government investment pool, and Fund 6. Georgia Fund 1 is a stable net asset value investment pool which follows Standard and Poor's criteria for AAAm rated money market funds. The pool is not registered with the SEC as an investment company but does operate Georgia Fund 1 in a manner consistent with Rule 2a-7 ofthe Investment Company Act of 1940 and is considered to be a Rule 2a7 like pool. The pool's primary objectives are safety of capital, investment income, liquidity and diversification while maintaining principal ($1.00 per share value). Net asset value is calculated weekly to ensure stability. The pool distributes earnings (net of management fees) on a monthly basis and values participant's shares sold and redeemed based on $1.00 per share. Pooled cash and cash equivalents and investments are reported at cost which approximates fair value. The pool does not issue any legally binding guarantees to support the value ofthe shares. Participation in the pool is voluntary and deposits consist of funds from local governments; operating and trust funds of Georgia's state agencies, colleges and universities; and current operating funds of the State of Georgia's General Fund.
Investments in Georgia Fund 1 and Fund 6 are directed toward short-tenn instruments such as U. S. Treasury obligations, securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U. S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, banker's acceptances and repurchase agreements. The weighted average maturity of Georgia Fund 1 may not exceed 60 days.

DEPARTMENT OF AUDITS AND ACCOUNTS

July 16, 2001

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Jeff Davis 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 ofJeffDavis County Board ofEducation as ofand for the year ended June 30, 2000, and have issued our report thereon dated July 16, 2001. This report was qualified for various departures from generally accepted accounting principles, as identified in the auditor's report on the general purpose financial statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Jeff Davis County Board of Education's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we perfo11ned tests of its compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the dett::1n1ination offinancial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective ofour audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results ofour tests disclosed no instances ofnoncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and perfo11ning our audit, we considered JeffDavis County Board ofEducation's internal control over financial reporting in order to dete11nine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal
2000YB-40A

control over financial reporting. However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation ofthe internal control over financial reporting that, in ourjudgment, could adversely affect Jeff Davis County Board of Education's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with assertions ofmanagement in the financial statements. Reportable conditions are described in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings and Questioned Costs as items FS-6801-00-01 and FS-6801-00-02.

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 no11nal course of perfo11ning 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, ofthe reportable conditions described above, we consider item FS-6801-0002 to be a material weakness.

This report is intended solely for the info1mation and use ofmanagement, members ofthe JeffDavis County Board ofEducation, Federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Jeff Davis County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH 0MB CIRCULARA-133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Jeff Davis County Board of Education with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office ofManagement and Budget (0MB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2000. JeffDavis County Board ofEducation's major Federal programs are identified in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings 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 Jeff Davis County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Jeff Davis County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit ofcompliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States; and 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 perfo11n 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 Jeff Davis County Board ofEducat.ion's compliance with those requirements and perfo1ming 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 dete11nination on JeffDavis County Board ofEducation's compliance with those requirements.

2000SA-10A

In our opinion, the JeffDavis County Board ofEducation complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Jeff Davis 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 perforrning our audit, we considered Jeff Davis 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 dete11nine 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 ofone or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level of risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major Federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the no1mal course ofperfo11ning their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
This report is intended solely for the infu1n1ation and use ofmanagement, me1nbers ofthe JeffDavis County Board ofEducation, Federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
Respectfully submitted,

II FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
GENERAL LEDGER Inadequate Documentation of Journal Entries Reportable Condition Repeated From Prior Year Finding Control Number: FS-6801-00-01
Forty journal entries were sampled to test the validity and accuracy of the journal entries. This examination revealed that nineteen did not include adequate supporting documentation. It also revealed that all forty ofthe journal entries did not have proper authorization. These conditions were a result of management's failure to properly review journal entries before they are posted to the General Ledger. Procedures should be implemented to ensure that all journal entries are supported by adequate documentation and are properly authorized before they are posted to the General Ledger.
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Reportable Condition - Material Weakness Repeated From Prior Year Finding Control Number: FS-6801-00-02
The JeffDavis County Board ofEducation did not maintain a 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 ofthe 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 of land, 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.
