and Honorable Michael L. Hanes, President Georgia Southwestern State University
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S COMBINED REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements (Exhibits A through D) of Georgia Southwestern State University as of and for the year ended June 30, 1999, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Georgia Southwestern State University.
A review consists principally of inquiries of University personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective ofwhich is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, with the exception of the matters described in the fourth and fifth paragraphs, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying fmancial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles require encumbrances to be recorded as a reservation of fund balance. However, in accordance with Georgia Law and State budgetary policy, management recorded encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities. The effects of this departure from generally accepted accounting principles on the financial statements were not reasonably determinable.

99ARL-67

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the University did not report the liability and related expenditure for compensated absences in the current funds as required by generally accepted accounting principles. If compensated absences were reported, liabilities would be increased and fund balance would be decreased by $629,809.63 as of June 30, 1999, and the net change in fund balance for the year ended June 30, 1999, would be decreased by $33,675.37.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there are no material modifications
that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. The year 2000 supplementary information on Schedule "1" is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E through G) and the financial schedules (Schedules 2 through 6) are presented for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiries and analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe financial statements, and except for the effects of the matters discussed in the fourth and fifth paragraphs, we are not aware of any material modifications which should be made thereto.
Respectfully submitted,

JUNE 30. 1999

NOTE 1: SUMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY Georgia Southwestern State University is one ofthirty-four (34) State supported member institutions ofhigher 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 Southwestern State University 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 Southwestern State 'University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Southwestern State University is considered an organizational unit ofthe Board ofRegents 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 Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
FUND ACCOUNTING In order to ensure observance oflimitations and restrictions placed on the use of the resources available to the University, the accounts of the University are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. This is the procedure by which resources for various purposes are classified for accounting and reporting purposes into funds that are in accordance with activities or objectives specified. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund; however, in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have similar characteristics have been combined into fund groups. Accordingly, all financial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group.
Within each fund group, the University's fund balance allocations and designations represent those portions ofthe fund balances that are reserved, restricted and/or designated for specific future use by legal covenants, State policies, or institutional policies.
Fund groups and funds presented in the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
CURRENT FUNDS
UNRESTRICTED - The fund used to account for those economic resources over which the University retains full control to use for purposes of performing the primary functions of the University, e.g., instruction, research, public service, etc.
RESTRICTED - The fund used to record externally restricted funds which may only be utilized in accordance with the purposes established by their source. Restricted current funds are recorded as revenues and expenditures when expended for current operating purposes.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FUND ACCOUNTING
LOAN FUNDS
The fund used to account for resources which have been made available for financial loans to students.
ENDOWMENT FUND
The fund used to account for gifts from the J. C. Roney Family Trust Fund that are subject to restrictions by the donor requiring that the principal be invested in perpetuity and income only be utilized.
PLANT FUNDS
UNEXPENDED - The fund used to account for financial resources utilized to acquire or to construct physical properties for institutional purposes.
RENEWALS AND REPLACEMENTS - The fund used to account for resources set aside for the renewal and replacement of institutional properties.
INVESTMENT IN PLANT - The fund which shows the total amounts representing the book value of all physical properties owned by the University. Net Investment in Plant is an equity account showing the total book value ofphysical properties belonging to the University less the amount of any indebtedness to others.
AGENCY FUNDS
The fund used to account for resources held by the University as custodian or fiscal agent for individual students, faculty, staff members, and organizations.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Except as otherwise disclosed in these notes, the financial statements are prepared on the modified accrual basis ofaccounting, which is materially the same as the accrual basis of accounting applicable to colleges and universities prescribed in the American Institute ofCertified Public Accountants' audit guide reporting model. The modified accrual basis ofaccounting is defined as that method ofaccounting in which expenditures, other than accrued interest on general long-term debt, are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred and revenues are recorded when available and measurable to finance expenditures of the fiscal period.
Contractual obligations for goods and services which have not been received at the end of the fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. This accounting practice causes expenditure-driven grant revenues to be accrued based, in part, on the unexecuted portion of contracts for goods and services. The recognition of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, but is not

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, which provide for the recording of encumbrances as a reservation of fund balance. Further, revenue recognition for expenditure-driven grants should be based upon expenditures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Compensated absences represent obligations of the University relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon services already rendered. This obligation relates only to vesting accumulated annual leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The compensated absences liability of $629,809.63 and a related net current year expenditure of$33,675.37 have not been reported in the current funds as required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Prior period adjustments and certain other items are reported as additions to and deductions from fund balances of current funds in the accompanying financial statements. This presentation is in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, but differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that immaterial adjustments should be reported as current period revenues and expenditures. The effect of this departure is deemed to be immaterial to the fair presentation of the financial statements.
To the extent that Current Funds and Plant Funds are used to finance plant assets, the amounts so provided are accounted for as expenditures. The balances shown on the Combined Balance Sheet as Net Investment in Plant reflect the accumulated expenditures made for plant facilities through Current Funds and Plant Funds and also include expenditures made for plant facilities expended by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission on behalfofthe University. Donated fixed assets are recorded at fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at recorded values. No depreciation has been provided on physical plant and equipment.
The Statement of Current Funds Revenues, Expenditures, and Other Changes is a statement of financial activities of current funds related to the current reporting period. It does not purport to present the results of operations or the net income or loss for the period as would a statement ofincome or a statement ofrevenues and expenses.
RESTATEMENT OF PRIORYEAR FUND BALANCE In fiscal year 1999, Georgia Southwestern State University adjusted certain fund balance accounts to restate these accounts as required by GASB Statement 31, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Certain Investments and for External Investment Pools". The statement requires certain investments to be reported at fair value rather than at cost. As a result, the beginning fund balance of the following funds has been increased for this change in accounting principle as shown below:

BUDGET The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - Administrative Central Office receives State appropriation allotments for units ofthe University System of Georgia. The appropriated budget is adopted at the Board level and represents appropriations provided by the Amended Appropriations Act of 1998-1999. The appropriated budget covers current funds and plant funds, except for Auxiliary Enterprises and Student Activities which are not subject to appropriation. The allocation ofthe appropriated budget is made to the University by the Administrative Central Office. In addition, the University receives Federal funds and other funds directly and includes these funds in the budget filed with the Administrative Central Office.

A comparison of anticipated funds available and budgeted expenditures by budget unit object class indicates that the following object classes were overspent by the amounts identified below:

Resident Instruction Year 2000 Project

$ 20.000.00

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURES

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30. 1999

The year 2000 issue is the result of shortcomings in many electronic data processing systems and other electronic equipment that may adversely affect the University's operations beyond calendar year 1999. The University has identified computer systems and other electronic equipment that may be affected by the year 2000 issue and are necessary to conducting University operations. The following stages have been identified as necessary to implement year 2000 compliant systems.
Awareness Stage - Encompasses establishing a budget and project plan for dealing with the year 2000 Issue.
Assessment Stage - The actual process of identifying all systems and individual components of systems to check for compliance.
Remediation Stage - The time when changes are made to systems and equipment.
Validation/Testing Stage - The process of ensuring that the changes made to systems and equipment will produce a year 2000 compliant system.
It will be necessary for the University to progress through all four of these stages for each computer and/or electronic system, not already year 2000 compliant, in order to assure that these systems will not be adversely affected.
The following financial systems utilized by the University are supported by the Board ofRegents, University System of Georgia.. The Board intends to remediate all systems which it maintains for use by its member institutions.
The College and University Fund Accounting System is beyond the validation/testing stage and management considers it year 2000 compliant.
The Regents Budget Reporting System and Property Inventory System are beyond the validation/testing stage and management considers them year 2000 compliant.
The Regents Payrol1/Personnel System is beyond the validation/testing stage and management considers it year 2000 compliant.
The Banner Student Information System is supported by SCT Banner, Inc. Their year 2000version has been released and distributed to the University.

The University has completed an inventory of computer systems and other equipment necessary to University operations. Based on this inventory, the University is in the process of making deficient areas compliant. Following is a summary of systems likely to be affected by year 2000 and the status of remediation, if any:
PC's and other computer hardware - Teams have been assigned to verify that all PC's are compliant. TestingIValidation is currently in progress. The MIS Department is currently assessing other hardware at the University.
Physical Plant Equipment - Plant Operations is responsible for assessing compliance for power systems, elevators, emergency generators, chiller and hot water systems. Testing and validation ofthese systems is currently underway.
Auxiliary Services - Testing and validation are currently in progress to ensure compliance for systems used in the Bookstore, Health Center, Food Services and other similar operational activities.
Because of the unprecedented nature ofthe year 2000 issue, its effects and the success ofrelated remediation efforts will not be fully determinable until year 2000 and thereafter. While management is confident that the University will be year 2000 ready, it cannot assume that its remediation efforts will be successful in whole or in part, or that parties with whom the University does business will be year 2000 ready.

FUND BALANCE Deficit to be Funded from Subsequent Years' Operation Finding Control Number: FS-542-98-01

The Intercollegiate Athletics deficit fund balance was reduced by 13% in FY1999. The Fiscal Year 2000 budget projects a surplus of $47,704.00. If this materializes, the deficit will be further reduced. Tighter fiscal control, including reductions in scholarships and operating expenses, should allow for reduction of the deficit. It is expected that it will take two more years to fully eliminate the deficit.

YEAR ENDED JUNE 30. 1999
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
FUND BALANCE Deficit to be Funded from Subsequent Years' Operation Finding Control Number: FS-542-99-01
At June 30, 1999, Intercollegiate Athletics had a deficit fund balance of$127,292.56. This deficit is a result ofthe University's lack of sufficient funds to meet the obligations on a current basis. The Board of Regents' Policy Manual, Section 702.02, states that auxiliary enterprises "shall be placed on a self-supporting basis, and the State will not make an appropriation to finance its operation".
The University should implement appropriate measures to eliminate this deficit and ensure that Intercollegiate Athletics operates on a self-supporting basis.
