Ladies and Gentlemen 
We have reviewed the accompanymg basic financial statements (Exh1b1ts A through D) of East Georgia College, an orgaruzat1onal urut ofthe State ofGeorgia, as ofand for the year ended June 30, 2002, m accordance With Statements on Standards for Accountmg and ReVIew SerVJces issued by the Arnencan lnslltute of Certified Pubhc Accountants. All mformallon mcluded m these financial statements 1s the representallon of the management of East Georgia College 
A review consists pnnc1pally ofmqumes ofCollege personnel and analytical procedures apphed to financial data It 1s substanllally less m scope than an audit m accordance with aud1tmg standards generally accepted m the Uruted States of Amenca, the obJecllve ofwluch 1s the expression ofan op1ruon regardmg the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordmgly, we do not express such an opm1on 
Based on our review, with the exception of the matters discussed m the fourth and fifth paragraphs, we are not aware of any matenal mochficauons that should be made to the accompanymg financial statements m order for them to be m conformity With accounllng pnnc1ples generally accepted m the Uruted States ofAmenca. 
As descnbed m Note 1 to the financial statements, the College did not recogmze June 30, 2001, encumbrances as expenses m the June 30, 2002, basic financial statements To conform to generally accepted accountmg pnnc1ples, encumbrances should be recogruzed as expenses and hab1hlles m the penod that goods and services are received. The effects on the basic financial statements of this departure from generally accepted accounung pnnc1ples were not reasonably deterrnmable.

 The College's Adjusted Balance July I. 2001, for Capital Assets as reflected in Note 6, did not 
reconcile with esllmated cost values established by an independent appraisal As a result of this unexplained vanance, we were unable to sallsfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the Capital Assets amounts reflected in the basic financial statements 
As descnbed in Note I, East Georgia College adopted the prov1s1ons of Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No 35, Basic Fmanczal Statements - and Management's D1scuss1on and Analysis -for Public Colleges and Umversltles, as amended by GASB Statement No 31, Basic Financial Statements - and Management's Discusswn and Ana(vsis - for State and Local Governments, and GASB Statement No 38, Certain Financial Statements Note Dzsc/osures, as of July I, 2001. to implement a new financial reporting model 
Management's D1scuss1on and Analysis 1s not a reqwred part ofthe basic financial statements but 1s supplementary infonnallon required by the GASB We have apphed certam hmued procedures, which consisted pnnc1pally ofinqumes ofmanagement regarding the methods ofmeasurement and presentat10n ofth1s supplementary infonnatlon, and we are not aware ofany matenal modificatlons that should be made thereto 
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing hm1ted assurance that there are no matenal mod1fical!ons that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting pnnc1ples generally accepted in the Umted States ofAmenca The accompanying supplementary information (Schedules I through 3) 1s presented for add1t1onal analysis purposes Such informatlon has been subjected to the inqumes and analytical procedures applied m the reVlew ofthe financial statements, and we are not aware of any matenal mod1ficat1ons that should be made to such data

The College had one s1gmficant capital asset add1t10n for fac1ht1es m fiscal year 2002 An add!tJonal 19 795 acres was donated to the College to provide a parcel of property for our proposed Georgia 
Rural Economic Development and Technology Center. Tlus new property 1s adjacent to the Swainsboro/Emanuel County Technology Park and the proposed new fac1hty will serve the dual purpose ofprov1dmg an mstructlonal fac1hty for our Information Technology program and proVId!ng classroom and office space for the Georgia Rural Econonuc Development Center/ICAPP partnership The Georgia State Fmancmg and Investment Comrmss1on (GSFIC) Classroom Add.lb.on and ActIVIty Center construction projects will be completed m Fiscal Year 2003, and the complete cost of the pro3ects will be cap1tahzed at that time Tlus constructJon will be accounted for m the financial statements of GSFIC untd the project 1s completed. 
 
Due to the budget holdbacks m MRR fundmg for fiscal year 2002, East Georgia College did not 
complete any major repaus and renovation projects. We did complete the design work for the final phase ofour A/C Improvement project and 1t 1s anllc1pated that fundmg for the construction portion of the project will be remstated m fiscal year 2003

 The East Georgia College overall financial position 1s strong Even with a relatively flat funded year, the College was able to generate a modest increase m Net Assets The College anticipates the current fiscal year will be much hke last and will mamtam a close watch over resources to mamtam the College's ab1hty to react to unknown mtemal and external issues

the Umvers1ty System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance ofits legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board ofRegents as defined m Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Fmancial Reporting Standards. 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION 
In June 1999, the GASB issued Statement No 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management 
Discusswn and Analysisfor State and Local Governments. This was followed m November 1999 by GASB Statement No 35, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discusswn and Analysis for Public Colleges and Umvers1t1es. The State of Georgia 1s reqwred to implement GASB Statement No. 34 as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002. As an orgamzat1onal urut ofthe State of Georgia, the College 1s also reqmred to adopt GASB Statements No. 34 and No 35 as amended by GASB Statements No 37 and No. 38. The financial statement presentation required by GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 35 as amended by GASB Statements No 37 and No. 38 proV1des a comprehensive, enllty-wide perspective of the College's assets, hab1ht1es, net assets, revenues, expenses, changes m net assets, cash flows, and replaces the fund group perspective preVJously reqmred. 
The College has elected to not restate its 2001 financial statements to conform with the new financial statement presentation, therefore comparative financial information will not be presented for fiscal year 2002. S1gmficant accounting changes made m order to comply with the new reqmrements include {I) adoption ofdepreciation on capital assets; and (2) recognition ofcompensated absences.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION Generally Accepted Accountmg Pnnc1ples (GAAP) requires that the report.mg of summer school revenues and expenses be between fiscal years rather than in one fiscal year Due to the lack of matenahty, Insutuuons of the Uruvers1ty System ofGeorgia will contmue to report summer revenues and expenses in the year JO winch the predommate actJv1ty takes place. 
At June 30, 2001, encumbrances (contractual obbgations for goods and services not received at fiscal year end) were recorded as expenditures by the College Jnstead of reservauons of fimd balance as required by generally accepted accountJOg pnnc1ples For fiscal year 2002, the College changed its 
method ofrecordmg encumbrances such that encumbrances at June 30, 2002 were not recorded as 
expenses This change 1s JO accordance with generally accepted accounung pnnc1ples. 
No adJustments however, have been made on the financial statements to restate the fimd balance at 
July 1, 2001 for the June 30, 2001 enc\llllbrances recorded as expenditures in fiscal year 2001. The net effect of the above accounung treatment resulted in an understatement of expenses on the accompanying financial statements for pnor year encumbrances winch should have been reflected as expenses in the penod when goods and services were received. 
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING For financial report.mg purposes, the College 1s considered a special-purpose government engaged only m busJOess-type activities. Accordmgly, the College's financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accountmg, except as noted JO the preceding paragraphs. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recogruzed when earned, and expenses are recorded when an obhgatJon has been incurred All s1gruficant intra-college transactions have been ehminated. 
The College has the option to apply all FJOanc1al Accountmg Standards Board (FASB) pronouncements issued after November 30, 1989, unless FASB conflicts with GASB. The College has elected to not apply FASB pronouncements issued after the applicable date. 
RESTATEMENT OF NET ASSETS - BEGINNING OF YEAR As a result of the adopuon ofGASB Statement No 34, the College was also reqwred to make certam changes in accounting pnnc1ples, specifically (1) adopllon of depreciation on capital assets, and (2) recordJOg of compensated absences GASB Statement No 34 reqwres certam summer semester revenues be recogruzed between fiscal years rather than the fiscal year JO winch the semester was predommantly conducted The Umvers1ty System of Georgia has chosen to continue to record summer revenue m the year JO winch the semester was predomJOantly conducted Net assets at July I, 200 I were reduced by $6,942,851 03 for the cumulatlve effect of these changes

 EAST GEORGIA COLLEGE SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS 
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS 
ACCOUNTING CONTROLS (OVERALL) Inadequate Closmg Procedures Fmdmg Control Number. FS-572-02-01 
Durmg fiscal year 2002, the Board ofRegents ofthe Uruvers1ty System ofGeorgia converted uruts of the Uruvers1ty System from the College Uruvers1ty Fmanc1al Accounting (CUFA) legacy system to the new Georgi.aFIRST System (Financial, Information and Reportmg Systems for Tomorrow) In January of 2002, East Georgia College placed tlus accountmg system mto producllon 
The management of East Georgia College 1s responsible for implementmg procedures to estabhsh and mamtam adequate control over the operallon, ullhzatlon, and mtegnty of their data processed with the Georgi.aFIRST System. We encountered problems wtth the financial data presented by the College. The College's failure to estabhsh and adhere to a final closmg for the year ended June 30, 2002, created a situation where data presented for revu:w was mcomplete Extensive review procedures were necessary to determme the vahdity of the mformatlon proVJded. 
To reduce the nsk ofreportmg mcomplete mforrnatlon, the College should work with the Board of Regents Central Office to develop procedures that will result m complete reporting ofall financial data m a more efficient a!ld timely manner. 
CAPITAL ASSETS Inadequate Capital Assets Records Fmding Control Number: FS-572-02-02 
Our review of East Georgia College's accountmg procedures for the Capital Asset Management System determmed that procedures m place were msufficient to proVJde adequate control over the College's capital assets The followmg defic1enc1es were noted. 
1) Effective July 1, 2001, the capitalization threshold for equipment was mcreased from $1,000.00 to $5,000.00. The College failed to reconcile the eqwpment component ofthe Asset Ma.J1agement module as of July I, 2001, with the equipment inventory balance as of June 30, 2001 
2) The College's Asset Management module, as of July I, 2001, did not reconcile with estimated cost values estabhshed by an independent appraisal. There were assets m the amount of $38,978 00 for Equipment that were mcluded on the mdependent appraisal report that were not mcluded on the Asset Management module, as well as assets m the amount of$163,47l.00 for Facilities and Other Improvements that were mcluded on the Asset Ma.J1agement module that were not mcluded on the mdependent appraisal report The College was unable to proVJde an explanation or documentation for the vanances.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS 
CAPITAL ASSETS Inadequate Capital Assets Records Fmdmg Control Number FS-572-02-02 
3) The College's Asset Management module did not reconcile to the Capital Ledger There was an asset mcluded on the Asset Management module that was not added to the Capital Ledger as of June 30, 2002. An aucht adjustment of $434,542 39 was made to record the asset m the Capital Ledger. 
These defic1enc1es are a result of management's failure to implement adequate policies and procedures to ensure that the College's capital assets are properly maintained. The College should establish appropnate procedures to strengthen controls and ensure that assets are properly accounted for and safeguarded. 
GENERAL LEDGER Inadequacies m Control Over Subs1chary Ledgers Finchng Control Number FS-572-02-03 
Our exammaUon mcluded a reVJew ofthe procedures uuhzed by East Georgia College m recordmg 
transachons to the vanous modules compnsmg the GeorgiaFIRST accountmg system Our testing 
revealed that, at June 30, 2002, the College's general ledger module did not balance with the subs1chary modules This cond11Ion was pnmarily due to errors m posting subsidiary records durmg the conversion from the old College Uruvers1ty Fmanc1al Accounting (CUFA) legacy accountmg system to the new GeorgiaF/RST accounting System and due to transachons bemg posted to the 
general ledger module rather than the appropnate subs1chary modules. The College chd not proVJde a 
reconc1hation of the general ledger balances to the subs1d1ary records, which resulted m extensive work by the auditors to identify reconcilmg items at June 30, 2002. 
Management's failure to ensure that subs1chary records are reconciled with the general ledger causes mternal reports to management, generated from the subsidiary modules, to be maccurate and misleadmg. This conchuon can lead to erroneous dec1S1ons by the College's management and result m maccurate reporting of financial mformatlon. 
To ensure accurate and timely reportmg offinanCJal mformation from subs1charyrecords, the College should post transachons correctly to the subs1d1ary ledgers rather than as Journal entnes m the general ledger The College should develop mtcrnal accounting controls and procedures to ensure that reconc1hation of subs1d1ary ledgers and the general ledger are performed on a regular basis.
