Honorable Zell Miller, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members ofthe State Board ofEducation
and Superintendent and Members of the Wayne 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 D) ofthe Wayne County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, 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:

95ARL-13*

* 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.

* 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, 1995, a portion of salaries and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1995. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 1995, from the Georgia Department ofEducation 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, 1994, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 1995. 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 present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of the Wayne County Board of Education as of June 30, 1995, and the results of its

operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In accordance

with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated February 22, 1996, on our

consideration ofthe Board's internal control structure and a report dated February 22, 1996, on its compliance

with laws and regulations.

,

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements ofthe Wayne County Board ofEducation taken as a whole. The combining statements (Exhibits E and F) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 11 which includes the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance) are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board of Education. 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 presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

95ARL-13*

A copy ofthis report has been filed as a pennanent 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,
~
Claude L. Vickers State Auditor

WAYNE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION

EXHIBIT "D"

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1995

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Wayne 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 ofthe departures from generally accepted accounting principles disclosed in these notes, the financial statements of the Board have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to 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 of the 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 Wayne County Board ofEducation.
Based upon the application ofthe above criteria, the Wayne 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 Wayne 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 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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATE:MENTS

JUNE 30, 1995

Note 1: 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 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, 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 of a Board's general activities. Governmental Fund Types include:
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources of the Board except those required to be accounted for in another fund. These transactions relate to resources obtained and used for services provided by a board of education.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds 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 acquisition or construction of Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission Project No. 91-751064.
ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - used to account for a material capital lease obligation.
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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1995

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 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 1995, a substantial number of personnel of the Board were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in late August 1994 and ending in early June 1995. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 1994 and ending in August 1995. 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, 1995, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two of the twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 1995, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30, 1995. Also, the State's portion of the compensation paid in July and August 1995 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 1995. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1994, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 1995. 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 Wayne County Board ofEducation'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

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 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 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 ofdeposits (including N.O.W. 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.
INVESTMENTS
COMPOSITION OF INVESTMENTS Investments made by the Board are stated at cost. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the Board to invest its funds in the following:
(1) Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other states,
(2) Obligations issued by the United States government,
(3) Obligations fully insured or guaranteed by the United States government or a United States government agency,
(4) Obligations of any corporation of the United States government,

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 Wayne County Board of Commissioners fixed the property tax levy for the 1994 tax year (calendar year) on August 31, 1994 Qevy date). Taxes were due on December 20, 1994. The lien date for property taxes was January 1, 1994. Taxes collected within the current fiscal year or within 60 days after year-end are reported as revenue in fiscal year 1995 since their collection meets the criteria of GASB codification section P70. l 03. The Wayne 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 millage rate levied for the 1994 tax year (calendar year) for the Wayne County Board of Education was as follows (a mill equals $1 per thousand dollars of assessed value):

15 55 mills

INVENTORIES

CONSUMABLE SUPPLIES Inventories of consumable supplies are recorded on the consumption method whereby expenditures are recorded as the inventory items are used. Inventories of consumable supplies are shown at cost on the Combined Balance Sheet and are equally offset by a reservation of fund balance which indicates that they do not consitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component of net current assets.

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

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 types of interfund transactions:
Reimbursements ofexpenditures initially made from a fund that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures in the fund that is reimbursed.
Operating transfers are recorded for all interfund transactions other than reimbursements.
MEMORANDUM ONLY - TOTAL COLUMNS
Total columns on the general purpose financial statements are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present financial position or results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither are such data comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
Note 2: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
COLLATERALIZATION OF DEPOSITS Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 45-8-12 provides that there shall not be on deposit at any time in any depository for a time longer than ten days a sum of money which has not been secured by surety bond, by guarantee ofinsurance, or by collateral. The aggregate of the face value of such surety bond and the market value ofsecurities shall be equal to not less than 110 percent of the public funds being secured after the deduction of the amount of deposit insurance. OCGA Section 45-8-11 provides an officer holding public funds may, in his discretion, waive the requirement for security in the case of operating funds placed in demand deposit checking accounts.
Acceptable security for deposits consists of any one of or any combination of the following:
(1) Surety bond signed by a surety company duly qualified and authorized to transact business within the State of Georgia,

CATEGORIZATION OF DEPOSITS At June 30, 1995, the bank balances were $323,324.09. The amounts of the total bank balances are classified into three categories of credit risk:

Category I - Cash that is insured (e.g., Federal depository insurance) or collateralized with securities held by the Board or by the Board's agent in the Board's name.
Category 2 - Cash collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the Board's name.
Category 3 - Uncollateralized deposits. (This includes any bank balance that is collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution, or by its trust department or agent but not in the Board's name.)

Note 2: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
At June 30, 1995, the carrying amount of the Board's total investments was $4,769,836.27 and consisted entirely of funds in the Local Government Investment Pool administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal 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 of Treasury and Fiscal Services for the Local Government Investment Pool does not provide for investment in derivatives or similar investments.
Note 3 : NON-MONETARY TRANSACTIONS
The Board receives food commodities from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for school breakfast and lunch programs. These commodities are recorded at their Federally assigned value. See Note 1 - Inventories
Note 4: RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors or omissions; job related illnesses or injuries to employees; natural disaster; and unemployment compensation.
The Board has obtained commercial insurance for risk ofloss associated with torts and natural disaster. The Board has neither significantly reduced coverage for these risks nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the Board's insurance coverage in any of the past three years.
The Board 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 ofloss on account ofgeneral liability, motor vehicle liability, or property damage, including safety engineering and other loss prevention and control techniques, and to administer one or more group self-insurance funds, including the processing and defense of claims brought against members of the System. The Board pays an annual premium to the System for its general insurance coverage. Additional coverage is provided through agreements by the System with two companies according to their specialty for property, boiler and machinery, general liability and automobile risks. Payment of excess insurance for the System varies by line of coverage. Property and blanket bond coverage was purchased to cover 100% of specific losses in excess of$100,000.00 per occurrence, up to $100,000,000.00 for each occurrence. Boiler and machinery coverage was purchased to cover 100% of specific losses in excess of$100,000.00 per occurrence. General liability coverage was purchased to cover 100% of specific losses in excess of $250,000.00 per occurrence. Auto liability was purchased to cover 100% ofspecific losses in excess of$100,000.00 per occurrence after member deductible.
The Board is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. The Board accounts for claims within the General Fund with expenditures and liability being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated.

Additional insurance coverage is provided through an agreement by the Fund with the Safety National Casualty Corporation to provide coverage for potential losses sustained by the Fund in excess of $250,000.00 loss per occurrence, up to the statutory limit. Also, should losses within the retained limit of $250,000.00 aggregate to more than eighty-five percent (85%) of the standard experience rated premium during the policy term, the policy with Safety National Casualty Corporation will pay the next $1,000,000.00 ofloss.

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 disallowed under grant terms. The Board believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial to its overall financial position.

Note 7: RETIREMENT PLANS

TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (TRS)

TRS PLAN DESCRIPTION Substantially all teachers, administrative and clerical personnel employed by local school systems are covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), which is a cost-sharing multiple employer public employee retirement system (PERS).

TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement and survivors benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. A member is eligible for service retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless ofage, or after 10 years of service and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service and attainment of age 55, at a reduced benefit. Retirement benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two consecutive highest paid years of service multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life. Options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension at a reduced rate to a designated beneficiary on the member's death.

WAYNE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1995

Note 7: 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, 1995, was $11,645,755.26; total payroll was $13,423,595.04.

TRS CONTRIBUTIONS REQUIRED AND MADE Employees ofthe Board who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to contribute 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The Board makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board ofTrustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 1995 that rate for employer contributions was 11.81%. The interest rate assumption (rate of return on investments) was 7.50%.

Total contributions made during fiscal year 1995 amounted to $1,957,652.80, ofwhich $1,375,363.69 was made by the Board and $582,289.11 was made by employees. These contributions represented 11.81% (Board) and 5% (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 of June 30, 1994, was as follows:

Total pension benefit obligation

$15,313,743,000.00

Net assets available for benefits, at cost

14,254,785,000.00

Unfunded pension benefit obligation

Note 7: RETIREMENT PLANS
The measurement ofthe total pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1994. 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, 1995 were $565,117,811.00. The Board's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1995 of $1,375,363.69 was actuarially determined and represented .2434% of total contributions made by all participating employers.
Ten year historical trend information is presented in the 1995 TRS Component Unit Financial Report. This information is useful in assessing TRS's accumulation of sufficient assets to pay pension benefits as they become due.
PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (PSERS)
PSERS PLAN DESCRIPTION Substantially all bus drivers, maintenance, custodial, and lunchroom personnel employed by local school systems are covered by the Public School Employees Retirement System of Georgia (PSERS). All employer's contributions are made by the State of Georgia in accordance with State statute.
PSERS provides in accordance with State statute service retirement, disability retirement and survivors benefits for its members. A member is eligible for normal service retirement after 10 years of service and attainment ofage 65. A member applying for service retirement with 10 years of service and retires between the ages of 60 and 65 receives a reduced benefit. Monthly retirement benefits paid to members are equal to $8.00 per month multiplied by the number ofyears of creditable service. Options are available for distribution 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 of the employee's contributions and interest are made to the beneficiary. If there 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 155 employees covered under PSERS for the year ended June 30, 1995.

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 Wayne County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 1996. 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 ofthe 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 Wayne County Board of Education is the responsibility of the Board's management. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of the Board's compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts, and grants. However, the objective of our audit of the financial statements was not to provide an opinion on overall compliance with such provisions. Accordingly, ~e do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported herein under Government Auditing Standards.

SINGLE AUDIT REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE GENERAL REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 1996. 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 Wayne County Board of Education's compliance with the following requirements applicable to each of its Federal financial assistance programs, which are listed in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance, for the year ended June 30, 1995:

(1) Political Activity

(5) Allowable Costs/Cost Principles

(2) Civil Rights

(6) Drug-Free Workplace Act

(3) Cash Management

(7) Audit Follow-Up/Resolution

(4) Federal Financial Reports

(8) Administrative Requirements

Our procedures were limited to the applicable procedures described in the Office of Management and Budget's "Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments" and other additional procedures as deemed necessary. Our procedures were substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion on the Board's compliance with the requirements listed in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

95CRL-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 Wayne County Board ofEducation had not complied, in all material respects, with those requirements. However, the results of our procedures disclosed an immaterial instance ofnoncompliance with those requirements, which is described in the Schedule ofFindings and Improper or Questioned Costs.
This report is intended for the information of management, the Federal cognizant audit agency and other Federal grantor agencies. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report which is a matter of public record.

SINGLE AUDIT OPINION ON COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO MAJOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board ofEducation as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 1996. 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 also have audited the Wayne 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 each of its major Federal financial assistance programs which are identified in the Schedule ofFederal Financial Assistance, for the year ended June 30, 1995. The management ofthe Wayne County Board ofEducation 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.

95CRL-100

We conducted our audit ofcompliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States; and the provisions of the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments". Those standards ofOMB 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 Board's compliance with those requirements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The results of our audit procedures for major programs as administered by the Wayne County Board of Education disclosed material instances of noncompliance with the specific requirements as described in the Schedule of Findings and Improper or Questioned Costs. In our opinion, the Wayne County Board of Education's compliance with these requirements are necessary for the Board to comply with the requirements applicable to the major programs as described in the Schedule ofFindings and Improper or Questioned Costs.
In our opinion, except for those instances of noncompliance with the requirements applicable to major programs referred to in the preceding paragraph of this report and identified in the Schedule ofFindings and Improper or Questioned Costs, the Wayne 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, 1995.
Resolving instances of noncompliance identified in the fifth paragraph of this report is primarily the responsibility ofthe Georgia Department ofEducation together with other providers of direct Federal funds. The determination ofwhether the identified instances ofnoncompliance will ultimately result in a disallowance ofcosts cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no adjustment for any disallowances that may result has been made to the Federal program amounts listed in the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance and no provision for any liability that may result from disallowances has been recognized in the Board's fiscal year 1995 financial statements.
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 REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO NONMAJOR FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TRANSACTIONS

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board ofEducation as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 1996. This report was qualified for various departures from generally accepted accounting principles, as identified in the auditor's report on the general purpose financial statements.

In connection with our audit ofthe fiscal year 1995 general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board of Education and with our consideration of the Board's control structure used to administer Federal financial assistance programs, as required by Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments", we selected certain transactions applicable to certain nonmajor Federal financial assistance programs for the year ended June 30, 1995. As required by 0MB Circular A-128, we have performed auditing procedures on the selected transactions to test compliance with the requirements governing:

(1) Types of Services Allowed or Unallowed

REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 1996. This report was qualified for various departures from generally accepted accounting principles, as identified in the auditor's report on the general purpose financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement.
The management ofthe Wayne County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining an
internal control structure. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required
to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal control structure policies and procedures. The objectives of an internal control structure are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation ofgeneral purpose financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because ofinherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may nevertheless occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation of policies and procedures may deteriorate.
95ICL-3

In planning and petfonning our audit of the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board ofEducation for the year ended June 30, 1995, we obtained an understanding ofthe internal control structure. With respect to the internal control structure, 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 in order to detennine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control structure. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

We noted certain matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be reportable conditions under standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control structure that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the entity's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management in the general purpose financial statements.

As described in the Schedule ofFindings and Improper or Questioned Costs, reportable conditions were noted in the following control categories:

(I) Accounting Controls - (Overall)

(2) General Fixed Assets

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 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 petforming 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 both ofthe reportable conditions disclosed above are also considered to be material weaknesses.

These conditions were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the procedures to be petformed in our audit of the Wayne County Board of Education's general purpose financial statements and this report does not affect our report thereon dated February 22, 1996.

This report is intended for the information of management, the Federal cognizant audit agency and other Federal granter agencies. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report which is a matter of public record.

SINGLE AUDIT REPORT ON THE INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE USED IN ADMINISTERING FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, and have issued our report thereon dated February 22, 1996. 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 Wayne County Board of Education's compliance with requirements applicable to major Federal financial assistance programs and have issued our opinion thereon dated February 22, 1996.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the provisions of Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-128, "Audits of State and Local Governments". Those standards and 0MB Circular A-128 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement and about whether the Wayne 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, 1995, 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

95ICL-7

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 February 22, 1996.

The management ofthe Wayne 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 ofany evaluation of the structure to future periods is subject to the risk that procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness ofthe design and operation 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

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

(5) Allowable Costs/Cost Principles

(4) Reporting

(6) Drug-Free Workplace Act (7) Audit Follow-Up/Resolution (8) Administrative Requirements

(5) Applicable Special Tests and Provisions
(6) Other Requirement 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, 1995, the Wayne County Board of Education expended 69% of its total Federal financial assistance under major Federal financial assistance programs.

95ICL-7

We performed tests of controls, as required by 0MB Circular A-128, to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of internal control structure policies and procedures that we considered relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with general requirements and specific requirements as described above that are applicable to each of the Board's major Federal financial assistance programs, which are identified in the Schedule ofFederal Financial Assistance. Our procedures were less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on these internal control structure policies and procedures. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
We noted a certain matter involving the internal control structure and its operation that we consider to be a reportable 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 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, a reportable condition was noted in the following control category:
Administrative Requirements
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 that the reportable condition described above is considered to be a material weakness.
This condition was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of the procedures to be performed in our audit ofthe Wayne County Board ofEducation's compliance with requirements applicable to its major Federal financial assistance programs for the year ended June 30, 1995, and this report does not affect our report thereon dated February 22, 1996.
This report is intended for the information of management, the Federal cognizant audit agency and other Federal grantor agencies and should not be used for any other purpose. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report which is a matter of public record.
