Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Wayne 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 Wayne County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999, as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Wayne 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 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.

99ARL-13

* School activity accounts maintained at the individual schools are not included in the general purpose
financial statements. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, these accounts should be included in the general purpose financial statements.
* The Board did not recognize as expenditures, in the year ended June 30, 1999, a portion of salaries
and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 1999, 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, 1998, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 1999. 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 Wayne County Board of Education as of June 30, 1999, 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 our report dated June 20, 2000, on our consideration of the Wayne County Board ofEducation's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements of the Wayne County Board of Education taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E through H) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 6), which includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by U. S. Office of Management 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 of the 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 presented in all material respects in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
99ARL-13

A copy of this report has been filed as a permanent record in the office of the State Auditor and made available to the press of the State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-6-24.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30. 1999

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Wayne 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 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 presented in this report are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES - are used to account for all or most of a 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.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds ofspecific 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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1999

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND - the fund used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Their reported fund balance is considered a measure of available spendable resources.
Liabilities which are expected to be financed from available spendable resources are reported as liabilities in the governmental funds.
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 ofthe 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 1999, a substantial number of personnel ofthe Board were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in late August 1998 and ending in early June 1999. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 1998 and ending in August 1999. 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 of June 30, 1999, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two of the twelve monthly payments, due for July and August 1999, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30, 1999. Also, the State's portion of the compensation paid in July and August 1999 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 1999. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1998, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 1999. 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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1999

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUDGET
The Wayne 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 of budget control was established by the Board at the aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles.
The budget process begins when the 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 of general circulation in the locality. At the next regular meeting ofthe Board after advertisement, the Board receives comments on the tentative budget, makes revisions as necessary and adopts a final school budget. This final budget is then submitted, in accordance with provisions of the Quality Basic Education Act, OCGA Section 20-2-167, 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 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.
INVESTMENTS
COMPOSITION OF INVESTMENTS Investments made by the Board in nonparticipating interest-earning contracts (such as certificates of deposit) and repurchase agreements are reported at cost. Participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase of one year or less are reported at amortized cost. Both participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase greater than one year are reported at fair value. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the Board to invest its funds. In selecting among options for investment or among institutional bids for deposits, the highest rate of return shall be the objective, given equivalent conditions of safety and liquidity. Funds may be invested 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,

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 (first-in, firstout) on the Combined Balance Sheet and are equally offset by a reservation of fund balance which indicates that they do not constitute "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 Balance Sheet at cost (first-in, first-out). Donated food commodities are recorded as revenues and expenditures at the time commodity items are received. Purchased foods inventories are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. The inventories reported on the balance sheet for donated food commodities and for purchased foods are equally offset by reservations of fund balance which indicates that these amounts do not constitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component of net current assets.
PREPAID ITEMS
Payments made to vendors for services that will benefit periods subsequent to June 30, 1999, are recorded as prepaid items.
INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
The Board has the following types ofinterfund transactions:
Reimbursements of expenditures 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.

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 of insurance, or by collateral. The aggregate of the face value of such surety bond and the market value of securities pledged shall be equal to not less than 110 percent of the public funds being secured after the deduction ofthe amount of deposit insurance. OCGA Section 45-8-11 (b) 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,
(2) Insurance on accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
(3) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia,
(4) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia,
(5) Bonds of any public authority created by the laws ofthe State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose,
(6) Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia, and
(7) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.
CATEGORIZATION OF DEPOSITS At June 30, 1999, the bank balances were $2,453,555.49. The amounts of the total bank balances are classified into three categories of credit risk:
Category 1 - 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.)

The Board's deposits are classified by risk category at June 30, 1999, as follows:

CATEGORIZATION OF INVESTMENTS At June 30, 1999, the carrying value ofthe Board's total investments was $10,055,954.57 which is materially the same as fair value. This investment consisted entirely of funds invested 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 of the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury 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 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 AAArn. rated money market funds. However, Georgia Fund 1 operates in a manner consistent with Rule 2a-7 ofthe Investment Company Act of 1940 and is considered to be a 2a-7 like pool. The pool is not registered with the SEC as an investment company. 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 determines 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 of the 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 Filnd 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 1 may not exceed 60 days. Fund 6 maintains a duration of approximately one year. The weighted average maturity for Georgia Fund 1 on June 30, 1999 was 27 days. The average investment duration for Fund 6 on June 30, 1999 was 1.03 years.

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 illness or injuries to employees; natural disaster and unemployment compensation.

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 of loss 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 groups of 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 other companies according to their specialty for property, boiler and machinery, general liability (including coverage for sexual harassment, molestation and abuse) and automobile risks. Payment of excess insurance for the system varies by line of coverage.

The Board is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. The Board accounts for claims within the General Fund with expenditure and liability being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated.

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

for its general insurance coverage. Additional insurance coverage is provided through an agreement by the Fund with the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company to provide coverage for potential losses sustained by the Fund in excess of $350,000.00 loss per occurrence, up to the statutory limit.

The Board has purchased surety bonds to provide additional insurance coverage as follows:

Position Covered

Amount

Superintendent Each Principal

$ 50,000.00 $ 100,000.00

Note 5: ON-BEHALF PAYMENTS

The Board has recognized revenues and expenditures in the amount of $440,822.77 for health insurance and retirement contributions paid on the Board's behalf by the following State Agencies.

Georgia Department of Education Paid to the State Merit System of Personnel Administration For Health Insurance ofNon-Certified Personnel In the amount of $322,206.47

Paid to the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia For Teachers Retirement System (TRS) Employer's Cost In the amount of$27,468.30

Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services Paid to the Public School Employees Retirement System For Public School Employees Retirement (PSERS) Employer's Cost In the amount of$91,148.00

Note 6: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

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

The Board is a defendant in various legal proceedings pertaining to matters incidental to the performance of routine Board operations. The ultimate disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable, but is not believed to be material to the general purpose financial statements.

June 20, 2000

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Wayne 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 Wayne County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999, and have issued our report thereon dated June 20, 2000. 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 Wayne County Board of Education's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests ofits compliance with certain provisions of laws, 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 of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Wayne County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we noted a certain matter involving the internal control over financial reporting and its
99YB-40

operation that we consider to be a reportable condition. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control over financial reporting that, in our judgement, could adversely affect Wayne County Board of Education's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent with assertions of management in the financial statements. The reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item FS-7511-99-01.
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 of the Wayne 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 Wayne County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of Wayne County Board of Education with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office ofManagement and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each of its major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 1999. Wayne County Board of Education's major Federal programs are identified in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major Federal programs is the responsibility of Wayne County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Wayne County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance 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 OMB Circular A-133, Audits ofStates, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 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 Wayne 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 Wayne County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements.

99SA-10

In our opinion, the Wayne 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, 1999.

Internal Control Over Compliance

The management of Wayne County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining

effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants

applicable to Federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Wayne County Board

of Education's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect

on a major Federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our

opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB

Circular A-133.

.

Our consideration of the internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level ofrisk that noncompliance with applicable requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major Federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, members of the Wayne 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.

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.
