We have audited the accompanymg general-purpose financial statements ofthe City of Buford Board of Education. a component unit of the City of Buford. Georgia. as of and for the year ended June 30. 2002. as listed in the table of contents 1 hesc general-purpose financial statements arc the respons1b1hty of the City of Bu lord Board of Lducatt0n', management Our rcspons1b1hty 1s to express an opinion on these general-purpo<;e financial statement, ba,ed on our audit 
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of Amcnca and the standard, applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards. issued by the Comptroller General ol the l ln11ed State, Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable a,surance about whether the financial statement, arc free of material misstatement An audit includes e-...amining. on a lt:st basis. evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial ,tatcmcnt, An audit also include, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made h) management. as well as evaluating the overall financial statement pre,entat1on We hehc\e that our audit provides a reasonable ba,1, for our opinion 
As described in the notes to the general-purpose financial ,tatcments. the Board of Educallon', financial statements have heen prepared using certain accounting practices and pohc1es which, in our opinion. vary in some respects from generally accepted accounting pnnc1ples The,c variances are described as follows 
 
2002ARL-13 
 
  The general-purpose financial statements of the Board of Educat10n did not contain a General Frl(ed AsseL~ Account Group to account for property and equipment owned by the Board of Education which should be included to conform to generally accepted accounting pnnc1ples 
 School act1v1ty accounts maintaincd at the individual schools are not included in the general-purpose financial statement, 1 o conform to generally accepted accounting principles. these accounts should be included in the general-purpo,e financial ,tatements 
 I he Board of Educat10n did not recognize as expenditures. in the year ended June 30. 2002. a portion of ~lanes and the corre,ponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed pnor to June 30. 2002 Also fund~ received. ,ubscquent to June 30. 2002. from the Georgia Department of l:.ducat10n for the State's share of these unrecorded salane, and related benefits were not recorded a, revenue in the year under re,1ew Convcr,cly. the s1m1lar expenditure, and related revenues for contractual services completed pnor to June 30. 200 I. were improper!} recorded in the year ended June 30. 2002 To conform to generally accepted accounting principles. revenues ,hould 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-purpo,c financial statements of these variances or om1ss10ns have not been determined. but are believed to be material 
In our opinion. except for the effects on the general-purpo~ 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 posmon ofthe City of Buford Board of Education as of June 30. 2002. and the results of Its operations for the year then ended. in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Umtcd States of Amenca 
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards. we have also issued our report dated June 6. 2003. on our cons1derat1on of the City of Buford Board of Education', internal control over financial reporting and our test~ of its compliance with certain prov1s10ns of laws. regulation,. contracts and gmnts That report 1s an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and ,hould be read in conJunctlon with th1, report in considering th.: re,ults of our audit

SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restncted to expenditures for specified purposes These funds are received pnmaniy from the Georgia Department of Education and from the Federal government to accomplish specific educatwnal objectives 
ACCOUNT GROUP 
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A financial reporting device used to account for accrued compensated absences 
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING 
The accountmg and financial reporting treatment apphed to a fund is deterrnmed by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for usmg a current financial resources measurement focw,. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current habililles generally are mcluded on the balance sheet Operatmg statements of these funds present mcreases (i e , revenues and other financmg sources) and decreases (1e , expenditures and other financmg uses) m net current as~ets. Their reported fund balance 1s considered a measure of available spendable resources. 
L1ab1hues wluch are expected to be financed from available spendable resources are reported as hab1hlles m the governmental funds Other hab1ht1es, which are not expected to be financed from available spendable resources, are reported m the GeneraJ Long-Term Debt Account Group 
Governmental funds are accounted for usmg the modified accrual basis of accountmg under which 
Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and avwlable) "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determmed and "available" means collectible withm the current penod or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liab1lit1es of the current period The School D1stnct considers receivables collected withm sixty days after yearend to be ava.Jlable. Property taxes and mterest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Nonexchange transactions, m which the School District gives (or receives) value without directly receivmg (or giving) equal value in exchange, mclude property taxes, mtergovernmental grants and donatwns Revenue for property taxes 1s recogruzed in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied Revenue from grants and donations 1s rccogruzed m the fiscal year m which all ehg1bility requirements have been satisfied 
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund hab1hry 1s mcurred 
A departure from the above defirutions 1s the accountmg 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 2002, a substantial number of personnel of the School D1stnct were employed for a one hundred and nmety day period beginning in August 200 I and endmg in early June 2002 Personnel contracts for this
