INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements (Exhibits A through D) of the Georgia Institute of Technology, a unit of the University System of Georgia, which is an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether

14ARL-62

due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Georgia Institute of Technology's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Georgia Institute of Technology's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the Georgia Institute of Technology as of June 30, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements of the Georgia Institute of Technology are intended to present the financial position and changes in financial position and cash flows of only that portion of the business-type activities of the State of Georgia that is attributable to the transactions of the Georgia Institute of Technology. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the State of Georgia as of June 30, 2014, the changes in its financial position or its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2014, the Georgia Institute of Technology adopted new accounting guidance, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages i through x be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquires of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
14ARL-62

Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of the Georgia Institute of Technology. The accompanying supplementary information (Schedules 1 through 6) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The accompanying supplementary information (Schedules 1 through 6) is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting or other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Governm ent Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 16, 2014, on our consideration of the Georgia Institute of Technology's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Georgia Institute of Technology's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
Respectfully,

GSG:as 14ARL-62

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis
Georgia Institute of Technology is pleased to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2014. The emphasis of discussions about these statements will be on current year data. There are three financial statements presented: the Statement of Net Position; the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position; and the Statement of Cash Flows. This discussion and analysis of Georgia Tech's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. The statements focus on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Georgia Tech as a whole, with resources classified for accounting and reporting purposes into five net asset categories: invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted-nonexpendable; restricted-expendable; restricted-capital projects and unrestricted. The basis of accounting is full accrual, including capitalization and depreciation of equipment and fixed assets and capitalization and amortization of intangible assets. Comparative data is provided for fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013.
Statement of Net Position
The Statement of Net Position presents the assets, deferred outflows, liabilities, deferred inflows and net position of Georgia Tech as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Position is a pointof-time financial statement. The Statement of Net Position presents a fiscal snapshot of Georgia Institute of Technology. The Statement of Net Position presents end-of-year data concerning assets (current and noncurrent) plus deferred outflows, and liabilities (current and noncurrent) plus deferred inflows, and net position (assets plus deferred outflows minus liabilities plus deferred inflows). The differences between current and noncurrent assets are discussed in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
From the data presented, readers of the Statement of Net Position are able to determine the assets available to continue the operations of the institution and how much the institution owes vendors.
Finally, the Statement of Net Position provides a picture of the net position (assets plus deferred outflows minus liabilities plus deferred inflows) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net position is divided into three major categories. The first category, net investment in capital assets, provides the institution's equity in property, plant and equipment owned by the institution. The next category is restricted, which is divided into three categories; nonexpendable, expendable and capital projects. The corpus of nonexpendable, restricted resources is available only for investment purposes. Expendable, restricted resources are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent for purposes as determined by donors and/or external entities that have placed time or purpose restrictions on the use of the assets. Resources restricted for capital projects are available for expenditure by the institution but must be spent on capital projects. The final category is unrestricted. Unrestricted resources are available to the institution for any lawful purpose.

Total assets increased by $70,624,317 primarily due to increases of $42,087,496 and $18,921,670 in the categories of Current Assets and Capital Assets, Net, respectively.
Total liabilities increased by $6,156,541. The combination of the increase in total assets of $70,624,317 and the increase in total liabilities of $6,156,541 yields an increase in net position of $64,467,776. The increase in net position is primarily in the categories of Net Investment in Capital Assets and Unrestricted in the amounts of $35,092,239 and $21,304,202, respectively.
Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position
Changes in total net position as presented on the Statement of Net Position are based on the activity presented in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. The purpose of the statement is to present the revenues received by the institution, both operating and nonoperating, and the expenses paid by the institution, operating and nonoperating, and any other revenues, expenses, gains and losses received or spent by the institution. Generally, operating revenues are received for providing goods and services to the various customers and constituencies of the institution. Operating expenses are those expenses paid to acquire or produce the goods and services provided in return for the operating revenues, and to carry out the mission of the institution. Nonoperating revenues are revenues received for which goods and services are not provided. For example state appropriations are nonoperating because they are provided by the Legislature to the institution without the Legislature directly receiving commensurate goods and services for those revenues.

Economic Outlook
In fiscal years 2009 through 2013 Georgia Tech experienced significant budget cuts to State Appropriations, including cuts to Resident Instruction, Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI), and Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2). For Georgia Tech, "Resident Instruction" includes the core instructional, research, and administrative support activities and excludes GTRI, EI2, and the Auxiliary, or business-like operations. From fiscal years 2009 through 2013, Georgia Tech received total budget reductions of $99.7 million, or 35% of the fiscal year 2009 base state funding. The University System of Georgia (USG) and Georgia Tech did not experience any budget reductions in fiscal year 2014, and the fiscal year 2015 Budget did not include reductions.
The University System operates under a formula funding system, which is mainly based on enrollment and is contingent upon the State Legislature's approval of new USG funding. The formula is a mathematical device that aggregates the funding needs of all institutions to provide a continuous level of support for the Resident Instruction activity. In fiscal year 2014 Georgia Tech received $6.5 million in new formula funding and in fiscal year 2015 received the following new formula funding: $1.5 million for faculty to support enrollment growth, $285 million to support new facilities, and $381 thousand to help fund merit-based pay increases for faculty and staff. In addition, the state provides funding to cover a major share of health insurance and retirement cost increase. Georgia Tech remains watchful and maintains proactive planning efforts as a new performance funding formula is introduced in fiscal year 2016. The revised formula will provide incremental funding to the USG based on the performance of institutions on such measures as student graduation and retention. Georgia Tech expects to fare well on these and other measures.
Sponsored awards received during fiscal year 2014 exceeded $688 million, representing an 11% increase from the previous year. Annual sponsored revenue decreased by 8% to approximately $708 million in fiscal year 2014; however, this decrease was anticipated by Institute leadership based on a planned reduction in capital projects funded by the Georgia Tech Foundation and the expiration of sponsored research awards funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Georgia Tech is well-positioned in growing and emerging research areas that are of interest and value to both Federal and nonFederal sponsors. For this reason, Georgia Tech expects to maintain strong sponsored revenue performance in the coming fiscal year.
Enrollment is expected to remain stable, with a slight increase likely for fiscal year 2015. The Board of Regents (BOR) approved a tuition increase of 9% for both undergraduate and graduate resident students. For nonresident students the BOR approved 2.7% undergraduate and 1.0% graduate rate increases. Georgia Tech expects to continue increasing tuition in an effort to move tuition closer to its peer institutions.
Another major revenue source for Georgia Tech is indirect cost recoveries. Fiscal year 2014 saw a continuing decline of $2.8 million or 5.0% from the prior year's recoveries for Resident Instruction and EI2, for a two year total decrease of $4.7 million or 7.9%. GTRI's indirect cost recoveries remain stable. Georgia Tech remains cautious as it enters fiscal year 2015, planning for these funds to remain flat, or slightly increase, based on new sponsored award indicators noted above.
Georgia Tech expects additional revenue generated from tuition increases, as well as revenue increases from sales and services, to offset negative growth in other revenue categories in fiscal year 2015.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia Institute of Technology (the Institute) serves the state, national and international communities by providing its students with academic instruction that advances fundamental knowledge, conducting research to create a better world for mankind, and by disseminating knowledge to the people of Georgia, the nation, and throughout the world.
Reporting Entity Georgia Institute of Technology is one of thirty-one (31) State supported member institutions of higher education in Georgia which comprise the University System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Georgia Institute of Technology as a separate reporting entity.
The Board of Regents has constitutional authority to govern, control and manage the University System of Georgia. This authority includes but is not limited to the power to designate management, the ability to significantly influence operations, the authority to control institutions' budgets, the power to determine allotments of State funds to member institutions and the authority to prescribe accounting systems and administrative policies for member institutions. Georgia Institute of Technology does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Institute of Technology is considered an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships with the Board of Regents as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
Legally separate, tax exempt Affiliated Organizations whose activities primarily support units of the University System of Georgia, which are organizational units of the State of Georgia, are considered potential Component Units of the State. See Note 16 for additional information.
Financial Statement Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as prescribed by the GASB and are presented as required by these standards to provide a comprehensive, entity-wide perspective of the University's assets, liabilities, net position, revenues, expenses, changes in net position and cash flows.
Basis of Accounting For financial reporting purposes, the Institute is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the Institute's financial statements have been presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned, and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred. All significant intra-Institution transactions have been eliminated.
New Accounting Pronouncements In fiscal year 2014, the Institute adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities. The provisions of this Statement clarify the use of deferred inflows of resources and deferred outflows of resources. Certain items, including those items which were previously reported as assets and liabilities, will now be reported as outflows of resources or inflows of resources. As of June 30, 2014, the Institute did not have any deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources.

EXHIBIT "D"

In fiscal year 2014, the Institute adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 66, Technical Corrections - 2012, an amendment to GASB Statements No. 10 and No. 62. The objective of this Statement is to resolve conflicting guidance by amending GASB Statement No. 10, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Risk Financing and Related Insurance Issues and GASB Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in PreNovember 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements. GASB Statement No. 10 was amended by removing the provision that limited fund based reporting of an entity's risk and financing activities to certain funds. GASB Statement No. 62 was amended by modifying guidance on (1) operating lease payments that vary from a straight-line basis, (2) purchases of a loan or a group of loans, and (3) recognition of servicing fees on mortgage loans that are sold when the stated service fee rate differs from a current (normal) servicing fee rate. The adoption of this Statement did not have a significant impact on the Institute's financial statements.
In fiscal year 2014, the Institute adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 70, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees. This Statement establishes accounting and reporting requirements for state and local governments that extend or receive financial guarantees that are nonexchange transactions. The adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Institute's financial statements.
Future Accounting Pronouncements In fiscal year 2015, the Institute will adopt Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions. The provisions of this Statement establish accounting and financial reporting standards for pensions that are provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers through pension plans that are administered through trusts. Implementation of this Statement will require the Institute to record a liability for its proportionate share of the Net Pension Liability of pension plans in which it participates. Actuarial estimates are currently being made to determine the Institute's liability, the effects of which are believed to be material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of petty cash, demand deposits and time deposits in authorized financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts. This includes the State Investment Pools and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
Short-Term Investments Short-Term Investments consist of investments of 90 days - 13 months, which includes certificates of deposits or other time-restricted investments with original maturities of six months or more when purchased. Funds are not readily available and there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
Investments Investments include financial instruments with terms in excess of 13 months, certain other securities for the production of revenue, land, and other real estate held as investments by endowments. The Institute accounts for its investments at fair value in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools. Changes in unrealized gain (loss) on the carrying value of investments are reported as a component of investment income in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. The Board of Regents Diversified Fund and the Georgia Extended Asset Pool are included under Investments for the Institute.

Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, with the majority residing in the State of Georgia. Accounts receivable also includes amounts due from the federal government, state and local governments, or private sources, in connection with reimbursement of allowable expenditures made pursuant to the Institute's grants and contracts. Accounts receivable are recorded net of estimated uncollectible amounts.
Inventories Consumable supplies are recorded on the consumption method and are valued at cost on the Statement of Net Position using the average-cost basis. Resale Inventories are valued at cost using the average-cost basis.
Noncurrent Cash and Investments Cash and investments that are externally restricted and cannot be used to pay current liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets in the Statement of Net Position.
Prepaid Items Payments made to vendors and local government organizations for services that will benefit periods beyond June 30, 2014, are recorded as prepaid items.
Capital Assets Capital assets are recorded at cost at the date of acquisition, or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts. For equipment, the Institute's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000 or more, and a useful life that meets or exceeds 5 years. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure and facilities and other improvements are capitalized as betterments when the expenditure for the renovation meets or exceeds the capitalization threshold of $100,000. The Institute uses the parent/child methodology to track the costs of nonresearch buildings. In this instance, the original asset is considered the "parent" and any improvements that meet the capitalization criteria above are considered "children". The child asset normally takes on the remaining useful life of the parent asset unless it is determined the child asset increases the useful life of the structure by 25 percent of the original life. If the child asset increases the useful life, the net book value of the original building asset is recapitalized along with eligible improvements as a new asset and the original building asset is retired. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense in the year in which the expense was incurred.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 to 50 years for buildings, 25 to 75 years for infrastructure, 20 to 50 years for facilities and other improvements, 10 years for library books and 5 to 10 years for equipment. Nonresearch buildings are generally depreciated over 40 to 50 years as indicated above. Research buildings are depreciated by building component such as elevators, general structure, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), roof, etc. The useful life of these components is generally between 20 and 50 years. Residual values will generally be 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
Amortization of intangible assets such as water, timber, and mineral rights, easements, patents, trademarks, copyrights and internally generated software is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 10 to 20 years.
To obtain the total picture of plant additions in the University System, it is necessary to look at the activities of the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) - an organization that is external to the System. GSFIC issues bonds for and on behalf of the State of Georgia, pursuant to powers granted to it in the Constitution of the State of Georgia and the Act creating the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission. The bonds issued constitute direct and general obligations of the State of Georgia, the payment of which the full faith, credit and taxing power of the State are pledged.

For projects managed by GSFIC, GSFIC retains construction in progress on its books throughout the construction period and transfers the entire project to the Institute when complete. For projects managed by the Institute, the Institute retains construction in progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2014, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Georgia Institute of Technology.
Capital Liability Reserve Fund In fiscal year 2014, the Board of Regents established a Capital Liability Reserve Fund (Fund) to protect the fiscal integrity of the University System of Georgia (USG), to maintain the strongest possible credit ratings associated with Public Private Venture (PPV) projects, and to ensure that the Board of Regents can effectively support its long-term capital lease obligations. The Fund is financed by all USG institutions participating in the PPV program. The Fund serves as a pooled reserve that is managed by the Board of Regents. The Fund shall only be used to address significant shortfalls and only insofar as a requesting USG institution is unable to make the required PPV capital lease payment to the designated cooperative organization. The Fund will continue as long as the Board of Regents has rental obligations under the PPV program and at the conclusion of the program, funds will be returned to the Institute. The Institute's contribution to the fund as of June 30, 2014 was $2,275,907.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in an Institute residence hall.
Advances Advances include amounts received for tuition and fees and certain auxiliary activities prior to the end of the fiscal year but related to the subsequent accounting period. Advances also include amounts received from grant and contract sponsors that have not yet been earned.
Compensated Absences Employee vacation pay is accrued at year-end for financial statement purposes. The liability and expense incurred are recorded at year-end as compensated absences in the Statement of Net Position, and as a component of compensation and benefit expense in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position.
Noncurrent Liabilities Noncurrent liabilities include (1) liabilities that will not be paid within the next fiscal year; (2) capital lease obligations with contractual maturities greater than one year; and (3) other liabilities that, although payable within one year, are to be paid from funds that are classified as noncurrent assets.
Net Position The Institute's net position is classified as follows:
Net Investment in Capital Assets: This represents the Institute's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of the net investment in capital assets. The term "debt obligations" as used in this definition does not include debt of the GSFIC as discussed previously in Note 1 - Capital Assets section.

Classification of Revenues and Expenses The Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position classify fiscal year activity as operating and nonoperating according to the following criteria:
Operating revenue includes activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions, such as (1) student tuition and fees, net of scholarship allowances, (2) certain federal, state and local grants and contracts, and (3) sales and services.
Nonoperating revenue includes activities that have the characteristics of nonexchange transactions, such as gifts and contributions, and other revenue sources that are defined as nonoperating revenue by GASB No. 9, Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, and GASB No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments, such as state appropriations and investment income.

Scholarship Allowances Student tuition and fee revenues, and certain other revenues from students, are reported at gross with a contra revenue account of scholarship allowances in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position. Scholarship allowances are the difference between the stated charge for goods and services provided by the Institute, and the amount that is paid by students and/or third parties making payments on the students' behalf.
Certain governmental grants, such as Pell grants, and other Federal, state or nongovernmental programs are recorded as either operating or nonoperating revenues in the Institute's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the Institute has recorded contra revenue for scholarship allowances.

Note 5. Notes/ Loans Receivable
The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2014. The Program provides for cancellation of a loan at rates of 10% to 30% per year up to a maximum of 100% if the participant complies with certain provisions. The Federal government reimburses the Institute for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the Institute determines that loans are uncollectible and not eligible for reimbursement by the Federal government, the loans are written off and assigned to the U. S. Department of Education. The Institute has provided an allowance for uncollectible loans, which, in management's opinion, is sufficient to absorb loans that will ultimately be written off. At June 30, 2014, the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $459,918.

Georgia Institute of Technology's fiscal year 2014 expense for rental of real property and equipment under operating leases was $13,292,677, which includes payments to related parties of $10,273,851.
Note 11. Retirement Plans
Georgia Institute of Technology participates in various retirement plans administered by the State of Georgia under two major retirement systems: Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS System) and Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. These two systems issue separate publicly available financial reports that include the applicable financial statements and required supplementary information. The reports may be obtained from the respective system offices. The significant retirement plans that Georgia Institute of Technology participates in are described below. More detailed information can be found in the plan agreements and related legislation. Each plan, including benefit and contribution provisions, was established and can be amended by State law.
Employees' Retirement System of Georgia
The ERS System is comprised of individual retirement systems and plans covering substantially all employees of the State of Georgia except for teachers and other employees covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. One of the ERS System plans, the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that was established by the Georgia General Assembly during the 1949 Legislative Session for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions. ERS is directed by a Board of Trustees and has the powers and privileges of a corporation. ERS acts pursuant to statutory direction and guidelines, which may be amended prospectively for new hires but for existing members and beneficiaries may be amended in some aspects only subject to potential application of certain constitutional restraints against impairment of contract.
On November 20, 1997, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SRBP-ERS) of ERS. SRBP-ERS was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of ERS. The purpose of the SRBP-ERS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by ERS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning January 1, 1998, all members and retired former members in ERS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-ERS whenever their benefits under ERS exceed the limitation on benefits imposed by IRC Section 415.
The benefit structure of ERS is established by the Board of Trustees under statutory guidelines. Unless the employee elects 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. Members hired on or after July 1, 1982 but prior to January 1, 2009 are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions. Effective January 1, 2009, newly hired State employees, as well as rehired State employees who did not maintain eligibility for the "old" or "new" plan, are members of the Georgia State Employees' Pension and Savings Plan (GSEPS). ERS members hired prior to January 1, 2009 also have the option to change their membership to the GSEPS plan.
Under the old plan, new plan, and GSEPS, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60 or 30 years of creditable service regardless of age. Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service for members under age 60.

- 20 -

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2014

EXHIBIT "D"

Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula adopted by the Board of Trustees for such purpose. The formula considers the monthly average of the member's highest 24 consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Post-retirement cost-of-living adjustments may be made to members' benefits provided the members were hired prior to July 1, 2009. 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.
Member contribution rates are set by law. Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation up to $4,200 plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200. Under the old plan, Georgia Institute of Technology pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these Georgia Institute of Technology contributions are included in the members' accounts for refund purposes and are used in the computation of the members' earnable compensation for the purpose of computing retirement benefits. Member contributions under the new plan and GSEPS are 1.25% of annual compensation. Georgia Institute of Technology is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll established by the Board of Trustees determined annually in accordance with actuarial valuation and minimum funding standards as provided by law. These Georgia Institute of Technology contributions are not at any time refundable to the member or his/her beneficiary.
Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2014 were based on the June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation as follows:

Old Plan* New Plan GSEPS

18.46% 18.46% 15.18%

* 13.71% exclusive of contributions paid by the employer on behalf of old plan members
Members become vested after 10 years of service. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contributions; the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.
Teachers Retirement System of Georgia
The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plan created in 1943 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly to provide retirement benefits for qualifying employees in educational service. A Board of Trustees comprised of active and retired members and ex-officio State employees is ultimately responsible for the administration of TRS.
On October 25, 1996, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan of the Georgia Teachers Retirement System (SRBP-TRS). SRBP-TRS was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of TRS. The purpose of SRBP-TRS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by TRS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning July 1, 1997, all members and retired former members in TRS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-TRS whenever their benefits under TRS exceed the IRC Section 415 imposed limitation on benefits.

EXHIBIT "D"

TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits. The benefit structure of TRS is defined and may be amended by State statute. A member is eligible for normal service retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 years of service and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service.
Normal retirement (pension) benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. Early retirement benefits are reduced by the lesser of one-twelfth of 7% for each month the member is below age 60 or by 7% for each year or fraction thereof by which the member has less than 30 years of service. Retirement benefits are payable monthly for life. A member may elect to receive a partial lump-sum distribution in addition to a reduced monthly retirement benefit. Death, disability and spousal benefits are also available.

TRS is funded by member and employer contributions as adopted and amended by the Board of Trustees. Members become fully vested after 10 years of service. If a member terminates with less than 10 years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions may be refunded with interest. Member contributions are limited by State law to not less than 5% or more than 6% of a member's earnable compensation. Member contributions as adopted by the Board of Trustees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 were 6.00% of annual salary. Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2014 were 12.28% of annual salary as required by the June 30, 2011 actuarial valuation.

Regents Retirement Plan
Plan Description The Regents Retirement Plan, a single-employer defined contribution plan, is an optional retirement plan that was created/established by the Georgia General Assembly in O.C.G.A. 47-21-1 et.seq. and administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. O.C.G.A. 47-3-68(a) defines who may participate in the Regents Retirement Plan. An "eligible university system employee" is a faculty member or all exempt full and partial benefit eligible employees, as designated by the regulations of the Board of Regents. Under the Regents Retirement Plan, a plan participant may purchase annuity contracts from four approved vendors (VALIC, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF) for the purpose of receiving retirement and death benefits. Benefits depend solely on amounts contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Benefits are payable to participating employees or their beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the annuity contracts.

EXHIBIT "D"

Funding Policy Georgia Institute of Technology makes monthly employer contributions for the Regents Retirement Plan at rates adopted by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia Board of Trustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 2014, the employer contribution was 9.24% for the participating employee's earnable compensation. Employees contribute 6% of their earnable compensation. Amounts attributable to all plan contributions are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Georgia Institute of Technology and the covered employees made the required contributions of $28,713,521 (9.24%) and $18,620,535 (6%), respectively.
VALIC, Fidelity, and TIAA-CREF have separately issued financial reports which may be obtained through their respective corporate offices.
Georgia Defined Contribution Plan
Plan Description Georgia Institute of Technology participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a single-employer defined contribution plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and parttime and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
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 of Trustees. If a member has less than $3,500 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring 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. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
Contributions Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute.

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

EXHIBIT "D"

Georgia Institute of Technology and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to the healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective health plan options are included in the financial statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - University System Office. All units of the University System of Georgia share the risk of loss for claims associated with the self-insured plans; including the HSA Open Access POS, the Open Access POS and the BlueChoice HMO. The reserves for these plans are considered to be a self-sustaining risk fund. The Board of Regents has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia to serve as the claims administrator for the self-insured healthcare plans. In addition to the self-insured healthcare plan options offered to the employees of the University System of Georgia, a fully insured HMO healthcare plan option is also offered to System employees through Kaiser Permanente.
The Department of Administrative 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 processes 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 are purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. Georgia Institute of Technology, as an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, 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. Premiums for the risk management program are charged to the various state organizations by DOAS to provide claims servicing and claims payment.
A self-insured program of professional liability for its employees was established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia under powers authorized by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 45-9-1. The program insures the employees to the extent that they are not immune from liability against personal liability for damages arising out of the performance of their duties or in any way connected therewith. The program is administered by DOAS as a Self-Insurance Fund.
Georgia Institute of Technology is responsible for pollution monitoring and remediation in all Institute facilities, including asbestos abatement. Monitoring and remediation activities are performed during renovation/construction projects when deemed necessary by Institute management. As of June 30, 2014, the Institute recorded a liability and expense in the amount of $143,458 for pollution monitoring and remediation projects in various Institute structures. The liability is reflected on the Statement of Net Position in Accounts Payable and on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position in Supplies and Other Services. The liability was determined using the Expected Cash Flow Measurement Technique, which measures the liability as the sum of probabilityweighted amounts in a range of possible estimated amounts. The Institute does not anticipate any significant changes to the expected remediation outlay. There are no expected recoveries that have reduced the liability.
Note 13. Contingencies
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and adjustment by grantor agencies. This could result in refunds to the grantor agency for any expenditure disallowed under grant terms. The amount of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although Georgia Institute of Technology expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.

JUNE 30, 2014

EXHIBIT "D"

Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Institute of Technology (an organizational unit of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia), if any, are generally considered to be actions against the State of Georgia. Accordingly, significant litigation, claims and assessments pending against the State of Georgia are disclosed in the State of Georgia Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
Note 14. Post-Employment Benefits Other Than Pension Benefits
Pursuant to the general powers conferred by the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 20-3-31, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has established group health and life insurance programs for regular employees of the University System of Georgia. It is the policy of the Board of Regents to permit employees of the University System of Georgia eligible for retirement or that become permanently and totally disabled to continue as members of the group health and life insurance programs. The policies of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia define and delineate who is eligible for these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. Organizational units of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia pay the employer portion for group insurance for affected individuals. With regard to life insurance, the employer covers the total cost for $25,000 of basic life insurance. If an individual elects to have supplemental, and/or, dependent life insurance coverage, such costs are borne entirely by the employee.
The Board of Regents Retiree Health Benefit Plan is a single-employer, defined benefit plan. Financial statements and required supplementary information for the Plan are included in the publicly available Consolidated Annual Financial Report of the University System of Georgia. The Institute pays the employer portion of health insurance for its eligible retirees based on rates that are established annually by the Board of Regents for the upcoming plan year. For the 2014 plan year, the employer rate was between 70-75% of the total health insurance cost for eligible retirees and the retiree rate was between 25-30%.
As of June 30, 2014, there were 1,529 employees who had retired or were disabled that were receiving these post-employment health and life insurance benefits. For the year ended June 30, 2014, Georgia Institute of Technology recognized as incurred $8,414,724 of expenditures, which was net of $3,332,032 of participant contributions.

Note 17. Subsequent Event
On March 14, 2014 the Institute entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Emory University (Emory) to mutually develop, own and operate a shared library facility ("The Facility") to house certain library collections of each institution. To accomplish this goal EmTech, Inc. ("EmTech") a not-for-profit corporation whose six-member board is equally appointed by the Presidents of Emory and the Institute, will construct, finance and manage The Facility on behalf of Emory and the Institute. The land on which The Facility will be constructed is owned by Emory and will be ground leased to EmTech. On May 20, 2014 the Georgia Board of Regents approved a proposed rental agreement for the period of December 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 with options to renew on a year-to-year basis for 29 consecutive one-year periods, and then one option to renew for a five month period. The rental agreement is expected to be signed in fiscal year 2015 between EmTech as lessor and Emory and the Institute individually as tenants of The Facility. The Institute will commit to monthly rent payments which will cover expenses consisting of the following components: debt service, ground rent, operating costs, a capital reserve, EmTech's ongoing administrative and corporate costs, and funding a facility operating reserve. Rent shall escalate annually in conjunction with the escalation of these components. The Institute will pay an estimated total rent of $50,379,807 over a thirty year period, with the first year's annual rental payment estimated to be $1,499,050.

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY RECONCILIATION OF BUDGET TO GAAP
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

Presented below is a reconciliation of the fund balance of the Budget Fund, as reported on Schedule 1, to Net Position of business-type activities, as reported on Exhibit A.
Total Fund Balances - Budget Fund - Non-GAAP Basis (Schedule "1")
Amounts reported for Business-Type Activities in the Statement of Net Position are different because:
Capital Assets used in Business-Type Activities are not reported in the Budget Fund.
Uncollectible accounts receivable are reported as an asset and reserved fund balance in the Budget Fund and as a contra-asset account on the Statement of Net Position.
Funds placed on deposit with the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission for use in capital outlay projects are reported as an outlay in the Budget Fund, but are included as a prepaid item on the Statement of Net Position.
Changes in the Fair Market Value of Investments are recognized on the Statement of Net Position, but are not reported in the Budget Fund.
Agency and Other Fiduciary Fund activities are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund. Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of Agency and Other Fiduciary Fund Activity
Auxiliary Enterprises Fund activities are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund. Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of Auxiliary Enterprises Fund Activity
Endowment Fund activities are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund. Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of Endowment Fund Activity
Loan Fund activities are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund. Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of Loan Fund Activity
Student Activities Fund activities are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund. Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of Student Activity Fund Activity
Insurance Reimbursement Fund activities are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of Insurance Reimbursement Fund Activity
The budgetary basis of accounting implemented by the State of Georgia recognizes expenditures when encumbered. The following adjustments were made to eliminate this activity for reporting on the Statement of Net Position. Payables reported in the Budget Fund that are based on encumbrances are eliminated for GAAP reporting. Prepaid items reported in the Budget Fund that based on encumbrances are eliminated for GAAP reporting. Payables for goods and services provided in the current fiscal year reported in the Budget Fund as encumbrances payable are reported as accounts payable for GAAP reporting. Total Net Effect of Encumbrance Activity
Certain Liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported as liabilities in the Budget Fund. Capital Leases Payable Compensated Absences Payable Contracts Payable Claims and Judgments Payable Total Liabilities
Rounding Variance

Net Position of Business-Type Activities (Exhibit "A")

The supplementary information presented on Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4 was prepared on a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with budgetary statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, which is a special purpose framework. The information was derived from, and relates directly to, the same information used to prepare the financial statements. However, the budgetary statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia require reporting of certain information that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Presented on this schedule is a reconciliation of the fund balance of the Budget Fund, as reported on Schedule 1, to Net Position of business-type activities, as reported on Exhibit A.

SECTION II COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL REPORTS

Greg S. Griffin
STATE AUDITOR
(404) 656-2174

DEPARTMENT OF AUDITS AND ACCOUNTS
270 Washington Street, S.W., Suite 1-156 Atlanta, Georgia 30334-8400
December 16, 2014

Honorable Nathan Deal, Governor Members of the General Assembly of Georgia Members of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
and Honorable G.P. "Bud" Peterson, President Georgia Institute of Technology
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the basic financial statements of Georgia Institute of Technology as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and have issued our report thereon dated December 16, 2014.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Georgia Institute of Technology's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Georgia Institute of Technology's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Georgia Institute of Technology's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies
2013YB-30

may exist that were not identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. We did identify a certain deficiency in internal control, described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs as item FS-503-14-01 that we consider to be significant deficiencies.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Georgia Institute of Technology's financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Georgia Institute of Technology's Response to Findings
Georgia Institute of Technology's response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Georgia Institute of Technology's response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.
Respectfully submitted,

GSG:as 2014YB-30

Greg S. Griffin State Auditor

SECTION III FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014

FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

FS-503-14-01 Inadequate Internal Controls over Research Labs

Control Category: Internal Control Impact:

Accounting Controls (Overall) Significant Deficiency

Description: An internal audit over the Advanced Concepts Laboratory (ACL) within Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) noted the intentional circumvention of established procedures and compliance with GTRI and Georgia Institute of Technology requirements.

Criteria: The Institute's management is responsible for designing, maintaining and monitoring procedures and requirements over the revenues and expenses associated with GTRI to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are valid and are in line with the Institute's objectives.

Condition: Several issues were noted associated with the ACL and GTRI within the internal audit, including the following:

The audit revealed that when purchasing concerns were raised regarding proper procedures or practices within the ACL and other GTRI labs, the accounting and finance staff were not supported by lab and/or senior GTRI management.
Some researchers claimed that purchases were for "classified" contracts to deter the audit, accounting and financial oversight.
Conflicts of Interest as prescribed by Institute policy 5.6.4 Disclosure of Real or Potential Conflicts of Interest were intentionally not disclosed by employees.
ACL was not following GTRI's policies for the use of overages resulting from Firm-Fixed Price contracts.

The Internal Audit findings noted that the majority (90%) of the unallowable cost on sponsored research occurred prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

Questioned Cost: Total unallowable cost of $518,025 was discovered, which occurred during fiscal years 2009 through 2014. Total unallowable cost is considered immaterial to the financial statements.

Cause: In discussing these conditions with Institute personnel, they stated that there was an absence of appropriate support, tone and messaging related to compliance, contributing to an environment in which various "red flags" for malfeasance were not adequately addressed.

Effect: Without the requisite managerial support for satisfactory controls and procedures in place at GTRI, the Institute placed itself in a position where misappropriation of assets occurred.

Recommendation: At the time of issuance of the audit report, Institute management has implemented additional controls to further mitigate risk in the areas identified, including changes in reporting structures and multiple changes in personnel.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2014
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plans: Management concurs with this finding and recommendation. The issues noted were initially identified through the Institute's system of financial controls and principle-based accountability standards. Management has since engaged in an aggressive and proactive approach to improve processes related to the management and oversight of sponsored programs. Additional controls have been implemented to mitigate risk in the areas identified including the development of new policies, changes in reporting structures and multiple changes in personnel. Corrective actions noted in the internal audit report outline specific measures that are being implemented on schedule and as planned. Action steps related to the "Condition" noted herein will be completed by June 30, 2015.
