We conducted our audit In accordance with audttmg standards generally accepted In the United Stales of Amenca and the standards apphcable to financial audits contamed In Govemment AuditIng Standards, ISSUed by the Comptroller General of the United States Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtam reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of matenal misstatement An audit Includes exarmrnng, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures In the financial statements An audit also mcludes assessmg the accountmg pnnciples used and Significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation We beheve that our audit provides a reasonable baSIS for our opimon
As descnbed In the notes to the general-purpose financial statements, the Board of Education's financial statements have been prepared usmg certam accountmg practices and pohcies which, m our opmion, vary in some respects from generally accepted accountmg pnnciples These vanances are descnbed as follows

2001ARL-13

* The general-purpose financial statements of the Board of Educanon did not contain a
General Fixed Assets Account Group to account for property and equipment owned by the Board of Education which should be Included to conform to generally accepted accounting pnnciples
* School activity accounts maintained at the mdrvidual schools are not mcluded in the
general-purpose financial statements To conform to generally accepted accountmg pnnciples, these accounts should be mcluded m the general-purpose financial statements

Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 2001, from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these unrecorded salanes and related benefits were not recorded as revenue in the year under review Conversely, the Similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed pnor to June 30, 2000, were Improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 2001 To conform to generally accepted accountmg pnnciples, 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 determmed, but are believed to be matenal
