.Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education 
and Superintendent and Members of the Mitchell 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 Mitchell 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 of the Mitchell 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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, 
 
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 Gen~ral 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. 
 
. 
 
' 
 
2000ARL-13 
 
 ' 
 
* School activity accounts maintained at the individual schools are not inclu~ed 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, 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 ~ontractual services completed prior to June 30, 1"999, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 2000. 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 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 Mitchell County Board of Education as of June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its nonexpendable trust fund for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 
 
In accordance with Governrnent Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 26, 200 I, on our consideration of the Mitchell County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Governrnent 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 Mitchell County Board of Education taken as a whole. The accompanying 
 
combining and individual fund statements (Exhibits G through N) and the financial schedules 
 
(Schedules I through 5), which includes the Schedule ofExpenditures ofFederal Awards as required 
 
by U.S. Office ofManagenient and Budget Circular A-133, Audits ofStates, Local Governments, 
 
and Non-Profit Organizations, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a 
 
required part ofthe general purpose financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the 
 
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 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 stated, in all material respects, in.relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a 
 
whole.

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
REPORTING ENTITY 
 
The Mitchell 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 conform to generally accepted accounting principles, these accounts should be recorded in the general purpose financial statements. 
 
The general purpose financial statements account for all State, Federal, Taxes and Other funds under control of the Board, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental units, unless otherwise disclosed in these notes. Funds and the account group presented in this report are as follows: 
 
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES - are used to account for all or most ofa Board's educational activities. Governmental Fund Types include: 
 
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources ofthe Board except those required to be accounted for in another fund. These transactions relate to resources obtained and used for services provided by a board of education.

IJ 
 
.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 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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
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. 
Agency funds are purely custodial in nature and do not involve measurement ofresults ofoperations. 
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 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, 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 employed 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 p_aid 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 of the 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. 
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. 
Agency funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis ofaccounting in recognizing assets and liabilities.

BUDGET 
ti 
The Mitchell County Board of Education's budget is a complete financial plan for the Board's fiscal year and is based upon estimates of expenditures together with probable funding sources. There is no statutory prohibition regarding overexpenditure of the budget at any level. The budget for all .governmental funds is prepared by fund; function and object. The legal level 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. . !.. 
 
a . .. The budget process begins when the Board'sadministration. prepares 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 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.

Services which are not required to be categorized since the Board did not own any specific identifiable securities in the pool. The investment policy ofthe State of Georgia, Office ofTreasury and Fiscal Services for the Local Government Investment Pool (Primary Liquidity Portfolio) does not provide for investment in derivatives or similar investments. A description of the Primary Liquidity Portfolio is as follows: 
 
 The Primary Liquidity Portfolio consists of Georgia Fund I, which is a combination local and state government investment pool, and Fund 6. Georgia Fund I 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 I 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 I and Fund 6 are directed toward short-term 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 I may not exceed 60 days. The 
 
weighted average maturity for Georgia Fund I on June 30, 2000, was 23 days. The average 
 
investment duration for Fund 6 on June 30, 2000, was .80 year.

and Superintendent and Members of the Mitchell 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 Mitchell County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, and have issued our report thereon dated March 26, 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 generally accepted auditing standards 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 Mitchell 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 of financial 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. 
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Mitchell County Board of Education's internal control o~er 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 
2000YB-40 
 
 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 deficiencie~ in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting that, in ourjudgment, could'adversely affect Mitchell County Board ofEducation'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 ofFindings and Questioned Costs as item FS-7011-00-01. 
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, the reportable condition described above is considered to be a material weakness. 
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, members ofthe Mitchell 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.

and Superintendent and Members of the Mitchell 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 Mitchell 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 end~d June 30, 2000. Mitchell County Board of Education'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 ~rograms is the responsibility ofMitchell County Board ofEducation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Mitchell County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit. 
 
 We conducted our audit ofcompliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; the 
 
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the 
 
Comptroller General of the United States; and 0MB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local 
 
Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and 0MB Circular As133 require that 
 
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the 
 
types of compliance 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 
 
Mitchell 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 
 
Mitchell County Board ofEducation's compliance with those requirements. 
 
 
 
2000SA-10 
 
 In our opinion, the Mitchell 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, 2000. 
Internal Control Over Compliance 
The management of Mitchell County Board of Education is responsible for 6stablishing 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 Mitchell County Board ofEducation's internal control over compliance with requirements . that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program in order t.o 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 ofone or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level of risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major Federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course ofperforming their assigned functions. We noted no matters involvingthe internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. 
This report is intended solely for the information and use ofmanagement, members of the Mitchell 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.
