Honorable Zell Miller, Governor Members ofthe General Assembly of Georgia Members of the State Board of Education
and Director and Members of the Northwest Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency Board of Control
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S COMBINED REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements (Exhibits A through D) of Northwest Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency as of and for the year ended June 30, 1997, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Northwest Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Agency personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, with the exception ofthe matter described in the following paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
* The financial statements of the Agency did not contain a General Fixed Assets Account Group to
account for equipment owned by the Agency which should be included to conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
The aggregate effects on the financial statements of this variance or omission has not been determined, but are believed to be material.

97ARL-RESA-l

Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying supplementary information (Exhibits E and F and Schedules 1 through 3) is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiries and analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe financial statements and we are not aware of any material modifications which should be made thereto.
Respectfully submitted,
~

NORTHWEST GEORGIA REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AGENCY EXHIBIT "D" NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 1997
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Northwest Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency (Agency) was established pursuant to the Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Sections 20-2-270 through 20-2-274 for the purposes ofproviding shared services designed to improve the effectiveness of educational programs and services of local school systems and for providing instructional programs directly to selected public school students in the state.
Each regional educational service agency is governed by a board. The number ofmembers and terms ofoffice are prescribed by the State Board of Education; provided, however, that at least one-third of the membership ofeach Board shall be individuals who hold no other public office, who are not employees of any local unit of administration, and who are not employees of the Georgia Department of Education.
The members ofthe Board are elected by an annual caucus of an equal number of members of local boards of education from the respective member local school systems. Each Board appoints and contracts with a director who is the executive officer of the regional educational service agency. The director is responsible for the administration of the programs and services approved by the Board.
For financial reporting purposes, the Agency is considered to be an organizational unit of the State, and therefore a part of the primary government ofthe State of Georgia. Inclusion in the State's financial reporting entity is based on application of criteria defmed in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification of Governmental and Financial Reporting Standards which indicates that the Agency does not have legal separate standing.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The Agency 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.
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 Agency. 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.
The general purpose financial statements account for all State, Federal and Other funds under control of the Agency, 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:
-6-

NORTHWEST GEORGIA REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AGENCY EXHIBIT "D" NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30,1997
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES - are used to account for all or most of a regional educational service agency's general activities. Governmental Fund Types include:
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources of the Agency except those required to be accounted for in another fund. These transactions relate to resources obtained and used for services provided by a regional educational service agency.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources 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 objectives and are required to be accounted for separately.
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 fmancial 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 fmancing 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 of the current period. Those revenues considered susceptible to accrual are intergovernmental grants, sales and services and investment income.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.
BUDGET
The Northwest Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency's budget is a complete financial plan for the Agency'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 Agency at the aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

NORTHWEST GEORGIA REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AGENCY EXHIBIT liD" NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30,1997
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The budget process begins when the Agency'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 fmal budget. This final budget is then submitted, in accordance with provisions ofthe 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 Agency 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 Agency are stated at cost. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the Agency to invest its funds. In selecting among the 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:
(l) 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,
(5) Prime banker's acceptances,

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
RECEIVABLES
Receivables consist of grant reimbursements due on Federal, State or other grants for expenditures made but not reimbursed and other receivables disclosed from information available. Receivables are recorded when either the asset or revenue recognition criteria has been met. Receivables recorded on the general purpose fmancial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables.
INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
The Agency has the following type of interfund 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.
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 fmancial 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
COLLATERALIZAnON 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 the securities pledged 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 anyone 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,

Note 2: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
CATEGORIZAnON OF INVESTMENTS At June 30, 1997, the carrying amount of the Agency's total investments was $109,453.86 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 Agency 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 does not provide for investment in derivatives or similar investments.
Note 3: RISK MANAGEMENT
The Agency 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 Agency has obtained commercial insurance for risk of loss associated with torts, assets and job related illness or injuries to employees. The Agency has neither significantly reduced coverage for these risks nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the Agency's insurance coverage in any of the past three years.
The Agency has elected to self-insure for all losses related to natural disaster. In addition, the Agency has elected to self-insure for errors or omissions, which includes, among other risks, risks for sexual harassment and discrimination. The Agency has not experienced any losses related to these risks in the past three years.
The Agency is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. A premium is charged by the General Fund to each user fund on the basis ofthe percentage ofthat fund's payroll to total payroll in order to cover estimated claims budgeted by management based on known claims and prior experience. The Agency accounts for claims with expenditure and liability being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount ofthat loss can be reasonably estimated. The Agency has not incurred any liabilities for unemployment compensation during the past two years.
Note 4: OPERATING LEASES
The Northwest Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency has entered into various leases as lessee for office equipment. These leases are considered for accounting purposes to be operating leases. Lease expenditures for the year ended June 30, 1997, amounted to $14,328.00. Future minimum lease payments for these leases are as follows:

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.

GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Finding Control Number 8504-93-01

Due to current staffing limitations and budgetary considerations prohibiting the hiring of additional administrative staff, the Agency has decided not to pursue the recording of general fixed assets on the financial statements.

SECTIONID CURRENT YEAR FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

NORTHWEST GEORGIA REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL SERVICE AGENCY SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Finding Control Number FS-8504-97-01
For the year under review, the Northwest Georgia Regional Educational Service Agency did not maintain a system-wide General Fixed Assets Account Group within the formal accounting records as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Appropriate action should be taken by the Agency 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 equipment owned by the Agency and should include, but may not be limited to, date acquired, acquisition cost, estimated replacement cost, location and description. Detailed records should be maintained of all additions and deletions to the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
