Portch, Chancellor INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Ladies and Gentlemen: We have audited the accompanying financial statements (Exhibits A through D) of the Administrative Central Office (Oversight Unit) of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Administrative Central Office'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. The financial statements referred to above include only the financial activities ofthe oversight unit of the Board ofRegents ofthe University System ofGeorgia. Financial activities of other organizational units (the various State colleges and universities) are not included. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, Georgia Law and State budgetary policy require the Administrative Central Office to prepare its financial statements on a basis which is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles with respect to the recording of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities. To conform with generally accepted accounting principles, encumbrances should be recorded as a reservation offund balance. The effects on the financial statements of this departure from generally accepted accounting principles were not reasonably determinable, but are believed to be material. 95ARL-62X As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Administrative Central Office did not report the liability and related expenditure for compensated absences in the current funds as required by generally accepted accounting principles. Ifcompensated absences were reported, liabilities would be increased and fund balance would be decreased by $600,486.67 as ofJune 30, 1995, and the net change in fund balance for the year ended June 30, 1995, would be decreased by $29,535.24. In our opinion, except for the effects on the financial statements of the matters discussed in the fourth and fifth paragraphs, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Administrative Central Office (Oversight Unit) of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia as of June 30, 1995, and the changes in fund balances and the current operating funds revenues, expenditures, and other changes for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the Employees' Health Benefit Self-Insurance Program has been recorded as a part of Unrestricted Current Funds. This change is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audit was made for the purpose offorming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information (Exhibits E through H and Schedules 1 through 25) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements of the Administrative Central Office (Oversight Unit) of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, except for the effects of the matters discussed in the fourth and fifth paragraphs, such information is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
