INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements (Exhibits A through G) of the Department of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Department'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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the budgetary statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles.
As more fully discussed in Section II, Findings and Improper or Questioned Costs, material discrepancies were noted in the equipment inventory records of the Department. Equipment inventory comprises the General Fixed Assets Account Group. We were unable to determine the effects these discrepancies may have on the financial statements.
95ARL-2
In our opinion, except for the effects on the financial statements of the adjustments to the equipment inventory records that may be necessary as described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position (statutory basis) of the Department of Education as of June 30, 1995, and the results ofits operations (statutory basis) for the year then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note I.
Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information (Exhibits H through K and Schedules I through 9) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements of the Department of Education. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Respectfully submitted,
L~
Claude L. Vickers State Auditor

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY The Department ofEducation, an organizational unit ofthe State of Georgia, is part of the executive branch ofthe government ofthe State of Georgia. The State Board of Education is composed of one member from each Congressional District in the State, appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The Board adopts and prescribes rules, regulations and policies as may be necessary for operating of public education in Georgia.
The State School Superintendent is elected by qualified voters of the State. The Superintendent is the Executive Officer of the State Board of Education and the Administrative Officer of the Department of Education. The Superintendent is responsible for the operation and the enforcement of the rules, regulations, policies and standards adopted by the State Board ofEducation.
The Department ofEducation does not have authority to determine the amount of funding it will receive from the State of Georgia for any given fiscal year. Such authority is vested in the General Assembly of Georgia. The Department also does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, the Department ofEducation is included within the State of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational and financial relationships with the State ofGeorgia. These reporting entity relationships are defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
FUND ACCOUNTING The Department ofEducation uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results ofits operations determined in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State of Georgia. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds are maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device used to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. Funds and account groups presented in the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE
BUDGET FUND - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Amended Appropriations Act of 1994-1995. The Budget Fund is similar in nature to a General Fund as identified in generally accepted accounting principles in that the Budget Fund is used to account for all activities except those required to be accounted for in some other fund.

FUND ACCOUNTING
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES
NONEXPENDABLE TRUST FUND - The fund used to account for assets, revenues and expenses utilized in accordance with the provisions ofa trust established by individual agreement. Nonexpendable trust funds are used when only the revenues earned on the principal (corpus) of the trust may be expended for the purposes designated by the trust and the principal of the trust must remain intact.
AGENCY FUNDS - The funds used to account for assets held for use by other funds, governments, or individuals.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS - The account group used to account for fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations. Fixed assets purchased are recorded at cost or at estimated historical cost if historical cost is not practically determinable. Donated fixed assets are recorded at fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at recorded values. No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets.
The cost ofnormal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Material improvements adding to the value or useful life of the assets are included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT - The account group used to report the noncurrent portions of certain governmental long-term liabilities, such as claims, judgments and compensated absences, which will be paid from future resources.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING MEASUREMENT FOCUS
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. Governmental funds should be accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, operating statements present increases and decreases in net current assets and unreserved fund balance is a measure ofavailable spendable resources. In accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, the Budget Fund remits its unreserved fund balance (surplus) to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services in the subsequent fiscal year.
Nonexpendable trust funds, on the other hand, should be accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases, (i.e., revenues) and decreases, (i.e., expenses) in net

total assets. This measurement focus emphasizes the determination of net income. In accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, the Nonexpendable Trust Fund utilizes the current financial resources measurement focus.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGETFUND
Except as disclosed in the following paragraphs, units of government of the State of Georgia record their Budget Fund revenues and expenditures in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis ofaccounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are "measurable and available"). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. Revenues that are accrued include primarily State appropriations, Federal grants and entitlements, and certain amounts earned under operating agreements with other parties. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences, claims and judgements which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.
Contractual obligations for services which have not been performed and for goods which have not been delivered at the end of the fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. This accounting practice causes expenditure-driven grant revenues to be accrued based, in part, on the unexecuted portion of contracts for goods and services. The recognition of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State ofGeorgia, but is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, which provide for the recording of encumbrances as a reservation of fund balance. Further, revenue recognition for expenditure-driven grants should be based upon expenditures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Prior period adjustments and certain other items are reported as additions to and deductions from fund balances ofthe Budget Fund in the accompanying financial statements. This presentation is in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, but differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that immaterial adjustments should be reported as current period revenues and expenditures.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES NONEXPENDABLE TRUST FUND
The Nonexpendable Trust Fund is maintained in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable means the amount of the transaction can be determined and " available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Revenues that are accrued include primarily interest income.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES NONEXPENDABLE TRUST FUND
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. The basis of accounting differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that nonexpendable trust funds should be maintained on the accrual basis of accounting.
A statement ofCash Flows is not presented for the Nonexpendable Trust Fund in the accompanying financial statements as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
AGENCY FUNDS Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not measure results of operations or have a measurement focus. The modified accrual basis of accounting is utilized for recognizing assets and liabilities.
BUDGET Appropriation allotments to the Department of Education are on the basis of a budgets submitted by the Department and approved by the Legislature and the Governor. The budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia and are compiled in the same manner as all State departments. Expenditures are classified by budget unit object classes as provided in Act No. 1208 of Georgia Laws 1994 (as approved April 18, 1994) and amended by Act No. 6 ofGeorgia Laws 1995 (as approved February 22, 1995), which is an appropriated budget and is referred to in these notes as the Amended Appropriations Act of 1994-1995.
Overexpenditure of a budget unit object class, except for the "common object classes", included in the Department's final amended budget is in violation of Section 80 of the 1994-1995 Amended Appropriations Act. Expenditures ofno more than 102% ofthe stated amount for each common object class are authorized by Section 80. However, the total expenditure for the group of common object classes may not exceed the sum of the stated amounts for the separate object classes of the group. The common object classes include Personal Services, Regular Operating Expenses, Travel, Motor Vehicle Purchases, Equipment, Computer Charges, Real Estate Rentals, Telecommunications and Postage.
A comparison of anticipated funds available and budgeted expenditures by budget unit object class indicates that the following object class was overspent by the amount identified below:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents include currency on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts in that the Department may deposit additional cash at any time and also may withdraw cash at any time without
prior notice or penalty.

INVESTMENTS Investments are defined as those financial instruments with terms of three months or more from the date of purchase and certain other securities held for the production of revenue. Investments are stated at cost.
The Department ofEducation participates in an investment pool managed by the State of Georgia's Office of Treaswy and Fiscal Services (OTFS) referred to as the "Georgia Fund I". The Department does not have any risk exposure from investments in Georgia Fund I as the investment policy of OTFS does not provide for investments in derivatives or similar investments through the Georgia Fund I.
INVENTORIES SUPPLY
Inventories of supplies are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis). The consumption method is used to account for the use of inventories. Under the consumption method, the costs ofinventories are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
DONATED FOOD Inventories are shown on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis) at a value established by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
RESERVED FUND BALANCE Reserves represent those portions of fund equity not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use. The following is a brief description of the reserves reflected in the accompanying financial statements:
FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The residual portion ofFederal :financial assistance revenues not yet expended or encumbered. This amount is restricted for expenditure in future years. This accounting treatment differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that the unearned portion of Federal financial assistance should be reflected as deferred revenue.
INVENTORIES SUPPLY
Reported inventories, under the consumption method, are offset by a portion of State funds reserved to provide working capital for managing a reasonable level of inventories.
DONATED FOOD Donated food inventories are equally offset by an amount to indicate that they do not constitute "available expendable resources" even though they are a component of net current assets. The fund balance reserve is based on values established by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

No liability has been recorded in the individual funds for the current portion ofthis obligation as this amount will not be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Funds are provided in the appropriation of funds each year to the Department to cover the cost of annual leave paid to terminated employees.
The liability for compensated absences at year end is reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group for governmental funds.
MEMORANDUM ONLY - TOTAL COLUMNS Total columns on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis) are captioned "Memorandum Only" because they do not represent consolidated financial information and are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. The columns do not present information that reflects financial position 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.
COMPARATIVE DATA Comparative total data for the prior year have been presented in selected sections of the accompanying financial statements in order to provide an understanding ofthe changes in the Department's financial position and operations. Comparative totals have not been included on statements where their inclusion would not provide enhanced understanding of the Department's financial position and operations or would cause the statements to be unduly complex and difficult to understand.

NOTE 7: RISK MANAGEMENT
Public Entity Risk Pool
The State Personnel Board, Merit System ofPersonnel Administration internally administers for the State of Georgia a program of health benefits for the employees of units of government ofthe State of Georgia and units of county government and local education agencies located within the State of Georgia. This plan is funded by participants covered in the plan, by employers' contributions paid by the various units of government participating in the plan, and appropriations made by the General Assembly of Georgia. The State Personnel Board, Merit System ofPersonnel Administration has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia to process claims in accordance with the State Employees' Health Benefit Plan as established by the State Personnel Board.
Other Risk Management
The Department ofAdministrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects of accidental losses that involve State government assets. The State believes it is more economical to manage its risks internally and set aside assets for claim settlement. Accordingly, DOAS services claims for risk of loss to which the State is exposed, including general liability, property and casualty, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, and law enforcement officers' indemnification. Limited amounts of commercial insurance is purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. The Department of Education is part of the State of Georgia reporting entity, and as such, is covered by the State of Georgia risk management program administered by DOAS.

Participation in the plan is optional. Participants choose the option or options in which they wish to participate. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, p,roperty, or rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property or rights of the State of Georgia subject only to the claims of the State's general creditors. Participant's rights under the plan are equal to those of a general creditor of the State of Georgia in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account of each participant. Financial information relative to the plan is presented in the financial report of the State Personnel Board - Merit System of Personnel Administration for the year ended June 30, 1995.
NOTE9: RETIREMENTPLANS
EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Plan Description The Department ofEducation participates in the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia ("ERS"), a singleemployer, defined benefit plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia. The Department's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1995, for employees covered by ERS was $21,365,523.5 I. The Department's total payroll for all employees was $27,572,800.62.
Benefits The benefit structure of ERS was significantly modified on July 1, 1982. Unless elected otherwise, an employee who currently maintains membership with ERS based upon State employment that started prior to July 1, 1982, is an "old plan" member subject to the plan provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1982. All other members are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions.
Members become vested after 10 years of creditable service. A member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 65. Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest eight consecutive calendar quarters of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Postretirement cost-of-living adjustments are also made to member's benefits. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension at reduced rates to a designated beneficiary upon the member's death. Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS. If 10 years of service is completed and age 60 is reached, the member may retire with a reduced benefit. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 30 years of service regardless of age.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
Contributions Required and Contributions Made Under the old plan, member contributions consist of employee contributions paid by the employee of 1.25% ofannual compensation and 4.75% ofannual compensation paid by the Department on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.25% of annual compensation paid by employee. The Department also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 1995, the ERS employer contribution rate for the Department amounted to 14.93% of covered payroll and included the 4.75% contributed on behalf of the employee referred to above. Contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave of retiring employees.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 1995 amounted to $3,457,097.08, of which $3,190,028.04 was made by the Department and $267,069.04 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements ofthe plan.
Funding Status and Progress Pension Benefit Obligation
The amount shown as the "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure ofthe present value ofpension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases and step-rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding status ofERS on the going-concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due and make comparisons among employers. The measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits, and is independent ofthe funding method used to determine contributions to the plan.
The pension benefit obligation was computed as part of an actuarial valuation performed as of June 30, 1994. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuation include the following:
1) The present value offuture pension benefits paid was computed using a discounted rate of7.5 percent. This rate is also the same rate assumed to be earned on investments in the plan in future years.
2) Future pension payments reflect the following assumed salary increases as a result of inflation and merit increases:

Funding Status and Progress Funding Policy
The ERS funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined rates that,
expressed as percentages ofannual payroll, are sufficient to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when
due. Level percentage of payroll employer contribution rates are determined using the entry age funding method. ERS also uses the level percentage of payroll method to amortize the unfunded liability within approximately 20 years following the valuation date.
Total contributions from all employers to ERS for the year ended June 30, 1995, were $256,624,679.00. The Department's contribution was actuarially determined and represented 1.24% of total contributions made by all participating employers.
Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute contributions are the same as those used to compute the standardized measure of pension obligation.
Trend Information Historical trend information is presented in the financial report ofERS for the year ended June 30, 1995. This information gives an indication of the progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due.

$5,269,831.38. The Department's total payroll for all employees was $27,572,800.62.
Benefits TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members. A member is eligible for service retirement after the member (1) has attained the age of 60 years and has at least ten years ofcreditable service, (2) has at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or (3) has attained the age of 55 years and has at least 25 years of creditable service. For those members with 30 years of service or those age 60 with at least ten years of service, retirement benefits 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. Any member who has between 25 and 30 years of creditable service and is at least 55 years of age shall receive a benefit which is reduced by the lessor of 1/12 of 7% for each month the member is below

Benefits age 60, or by 7% for each year or fraction thereofby which the member has less than 30 years of service. 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.
Retirement benefits also include death and disability benefits whereby the 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 benefit is based on member's creditable service (minimum of 10 years of service) and compensation up to the date of death or up to the time of disability.
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.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made Employees ofthe Department who are covered by TRS are required to pay 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The Department makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 1995, the employer contribution rate was 11.81% for covered employees. The interest rate assumption (rate of return on investments) was 7.50%.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 1995 amounted to $885,396.21, of which $622,041.01 was made by the Department and $263,355.20 was made by employees. These contributions represented 11.81% (Department) and 5% (employees) of covered payroll.
Funding Status and Progress Pension Benefit Obligation
The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized measurement established by Statement No. 5 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that is required to be used for reporting purposes. The standardized measurement is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits. This pension 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 and any step-rate benefits. A standardized measure of the pension benefit obligation was adopted by the GASB to enable readers of the 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 similar PERS. The total unfunded pension benefit obligation of TRS as of June 30, 1994, which was the latest information available, was as follows:
Total pension benefit obligation Net assets available for benefits, at cost Unfunded pension benefit obligation

GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Plan Description The Department of Education participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan ("GDCP") which is a single-employer defined contribution plan established by the Georgia General Assembly in July 1993 for the purpose ofproviding retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Employees' Retirement System Board of Trustees. The Department's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1995, for employees covered by GDCP was $444,715.78. The Department's total payroll for all employees was $27,572,800.62.
Benefits A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board. If a member has less than $ 3,500 credit to his/her account, the Board has the option ofrequiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. Upon the death of a member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary.
Contributions and Vesting Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS Instructions to Boards ofEducation Not Consistent With the Official Code of Georgia Financial Statements Audit Control Number 414-95-01
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1994, noted that the Department of Education issued written instructions for the 1993 and 1994 fiscal years to boards of education regarding expenditure requirements relative to StaffDevelopment - Cost ofInstruction (CIS) and Professional Development Stipend (PDS) funds that were not consistent with the Official Code of Georgia (OCGA) 20-2-182.
The guidance provided in the above reference memorandums has resulted in the various boards of education inappropriately expending PDS funds of approximately $2,114,000.00 and $4,315,000.00 for the fiscal years ending 1993 and 1994, respectively.
As of June 30, 1995, the Department of Education had not requested refunds from affected boards of education. The Department should develop procedures whereby instructions given to subrecipients are consistent with laws and regulations. The Department ofEducation should request appropriate refunds from affected boards of education.

The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1994, noted several deficiencies concerning agency fund cash accounts. For the year under review, certain ofthese deficiencies were corrected. However, an examination of current year accounting procedures disclosed the following deficiencies in accounting procedures and internal controls which are in need of corrective action:
(1) Certain disbursements were not supported by adequate documentation. All disbursements should be supported by adequate documentation to demonstrate proper disbursement and accounting of funds.
(2) Certain disbursements did not appear to be in compliance with the intent ofthe fund. Steps should be taken to ensure that records ofa fund include documentation stating specific disbursements which are allowable for the fund. A listing of approved allowable disbursements would reduce the likelihood ofquestionable disbursements.
(3) Checks were issued to certain individuals for services rendered; however, there were no corresponding W-2's or 1099's issued. Procedures should be implemented to issue W-2's or 1099's to individuals as is appropriate.
(4) Certain deposits for the Vocational Education Accounts, Georgia Association American Industrial
Arts Student Association, Incorporated and Georgia Association of Future Farmers of America, District ID, Vocational Agriculture Teacher's Fund accounts were not made on a timely basis. Procedures should be implemented to ensure that all funds received are deposited promptly.
(5) A check issued from the Georgia Academy for the Blind, Student Activities Account included one check made payable to, signed, and endorsed by the custodian of the account. Although documentation was available for the disbursement; measures should be taken to prevent this practice.
Although the accounting department sent instructions to the custodians of the agency funds during fiscal year 1995, deficiencies continued to exist. The Department should continue efforts to ensure that proper accounting procedures are utilized in maintaining agency funds.

GENERAL FIXED ASSETS/PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - Financial Statements ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS - Federal Financial Assistance Inadequacies in Operation ofProperty Management System Major/Nonmajor Programs Audit Control Number 414-95-03
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1994, noted deficiencies in the controls over general fixed assets. For the year under review, our examination included a review of the internal accounting controls utilized by the Department ofEducation in maintaining their State Property System. This review consisted oftesting the system for compliance with Federal and State equipment laws and regulations. Procedures were also completed to verify the accuracy ofthe total equipment inventory valuation contained in the inventory records, which comprises the General Fixed Assets Account Group. The following conditions relating to inappropriate accounting practices were found to exist:
(a) Equipment additions were not properly updated on the inventory system.
(b) 1 capital lease equipment item was not properly recorded on the inventory system.
In addition, a sample of equipment items was selected to test the accuracy of the Department's general fixed assets records. Of the 123 equipment items selected for physical inspection, the following deficiencies were noted:
(a) 1 item was located in a location other than the location indicated in the property inventory system.
(b) 4 items could not be located.
During the physical inspection sample, 3 items of equipment were located which were not included in the equipment inventory records.
The Department ofEducation is required to maintain equipment inventories in accordance with provisions of 0MB Circular A-102 and the State Property System Manual. The discrepancies identified above were caused by the Department's failure to follow guidelines for maintaining equipment inventories. As a result of these discrepancies, we were unable to determine the validity ofthe total equipment inventory valuation contained in the inventory records, which comprises the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
The Department should establish the necessary internal controls to ensure that equipment inventories are maintained in accordance with provisions of 0MB Circular A-102 and the State Property System Manual.

MONITORING SUBRECIPIENTS Subrecipient Audit Reports Not Received Within the Required Time Period Federal Financial Assistance Major/Nonmajor Programs Audit Control Number 414-95-04
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1994, noted that a substantial number of subrecipient audit reports had not been submitted within the time period required by 0MB Circular A-128 and A-133. The Circulars state that subrecipients subject to the reporting requirements should submit audit reports no later than thirteen months after the end of the audited period.
As part of our examination for the year under review, we examined tracking documents used by the Department of Education to determine the status of subrecipient audit reports for the year ended June 30, 1994. Ofthe 445 subrecipients identified on the tracking documents, 135 had not submitted their audits within the thirteen month period as required by 0MB Circulars A-128 and A-133. This noncompliance is due to subrecipient audits not being performed in a timely manner and/or not being submitted from the Department of Audits on a timely basis.
A subsequent review of the status of the 135 audits not submitted by the due date, indicated that 119 of the reports had been submitted by December 10, 1995. It was noted during our examination that the Department ofEducation utilized a program review stafffor interim compliance reviews of all subrecipients in accordance with the foregoing provisions ofOMB Circulars A-128 and A-133.

As part ofour examination for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, we reviewed tracking documents used by the Department ofEducation to monitor the status of subrecipient reviews for the Federal fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. Ofthe 24 subrecipients identified on the tracking documents, 10 had not been reviewed within the allotted time period. This noncompliance was caused by the Department's failure to follow regulations for monitoring subrecipients. The Department should establish appropriate internal control structure policies and procedures to ensure that all subrecipients are reviewed in accordance with Federal regulations.

BUDGET PREPARATION/EXECUTION Overexpenditure of Budget Unit Object Class Financial Statements Audit Control Number 414-95-06
The total approved budget for the Department of Education - "A" Budget Unit provided for expenditures totaling $4,227,414,788.00. A comparison ofanticipated funds available and budgeted expenditures to actual funds available and expenditures by object class indicates that the object class QBE Formula Grants - Indirect Cost was overspent in the amount of $10,000.00. This overexpenditure is in violation of Section 80 ofthe Amended Appropriations Act of 1994-1995. The overexpenditure was caused by the Department's failure to monitor the expenditure of funds against the budgeted expenditures by object class.
The Department should review its internal control procedures over budget operations, design procedures which would prohibit the expenditure offunds in excess ofbudget approval, and implement those procedures to strengthen the controls over the budget function.

As a part of our examination, we reviewed, in detail, the operations of various agency funds administered by the Department ofEducation as follows:
The operations of the "State Board of Education's Fund" formerly known as "Superintendent's Orientation" were reviewed. This activity included all receipts for fiscal year 1989 through November 1995 and disbursements for fiscal year 1990 through November 1995. The following items were noted:
1. Most ofthe individual receipts deposited to the fund are from numerous individuals in the form of registration fees for conferences, meetings, retreats or donations for plaques, awards or retirement functions. The notable exception is two receipts totaling $25,019.53 deposited in August 1991 and December 1993 which were derived from the dissolution of the "Southeastern Education Improvement Laboratory" located in North Carolina. The proceeds derived from the dissolution of this non-profit corporation were divided among several southeastern states because it was operated for the benefit of these states. Since these funds were donated to the State of Georgia with no strings attached, they should have been reported as revenue collections and deposited in the state treasury. Total receipts into the "State Board of Education's Fund", including the proceeds from the above mentioned dissolution, since fiscal year 1989 were approximately $35,000.00.
2. The disbursements contain numerous items consistent with expected conference, seminar or meeting expenses. There were also various disbursements for plaques or awards for individuals, some ofwhich had no apparent revenue source. In addition to these, however, there were several other disbursement items which are improper or questionable. They include the following:
A. Meal expenses for dinner guests of the previous State Superintendent. B. Meal expenses for staff while not on travel status. C. Beverages for Board members. D. Meal expenses for guests ofBoard members. E. A transfer of$13,131.81 to another agency account entitled "Council of Chief State School
Officers." F. A transfer of$750.00 to a newly created agency account entitled "Superintendent's Fund."

As a result ofthe transfers from the fund discussed above, we reviewed the transactions in the "Council ofChiefState School Officers" fund. This fund was established for the annual conference ofthis national association held in Atlanta in 1991. Other than the transfers from the "State Board ofEducation's Fund" all ofthe receipts were donations from various corporations. All of the disbursements are consistent with those expected for such a conference. This account was closed in fiscal year 1993.
The transfer into the newly created "Superintendent's Fund" in the amount of $750.00 oc~urred in May 1995. The disbursements to date either were not supported by adequate documentation or did not appear to be in compliance with the intent ofthe fund.
The Department of Education should implement procedures to ensure that receipts and disbursements of agency funds are in compliance with all laws and regulations. The Department should implement procedures to ensure that disbursements are supported by adequate documentation to demonstrate proper disbursement and accounting offunds. Such procedures should include written documentation stating specific disbursements which are allowable from each fund.
