and Honorable Timothy P. Burgess, Director Office of Planning and Budget
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 F) of the Office of the Governor as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the budgetary statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of the Office of the Governor.
A review consists principally of inquiries of agency 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 of which 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 ofthe matter described in the following paragraph, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
As more fully discussed in Section II, Findings and Improper or Questioned Costs, material discrepancies were noted in the equipment inventory records of the Office of the Governor. Equipment inventory comprises the General Fixed Assets Account Group. We were unable to determine the effects these discrepancies may have on the financial statements.

96ARL-5

Our review was made for the purpose ofexpressing limited assurance that there were no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 1. The accompanying supplementary information (Exhibits G through I and Schedules 1 through 7) is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiries and analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe financial statements and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto.
Respectfully submitted,

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY The Office ofthe Governor, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia, is part of the executive branch of the government of the State of Georgia. The Chief executive powers are vested in the Governor, who is elected by the qualified voters.
The Office of the Governor does not have authority to determine the amount of funding it will receive from the State of Georgia for any given fiscal year. Such authority is vested in the General Assembly of Georgia. The Office ofthe Governor also does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, the Office of the Governor is included within the State of Georgia reporting entity for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational and financial relationships with the State of Georgia. These reporting entity relationships are defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
FUND ACCOUNTING The Office of the Governor uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results ofits operations determined in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State of Georgia. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds are maintained consistent with .legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device used to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. Funds and account groups presented in the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES
BUDGET FUND - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Amended Appropriations Act of 1995-1996. The Budget Fund is similar in nature to a General Fund as defined in generally accepted accounting principles in that the Budget Fund is used to account for all activities except those required to be accounted for in some other fund.
STATE REVENUE COLLECTIONS FUND - The fund used to account for the collection of specific revenues ofthe State of Georgia as provided by statute or administrative action and the subsequent transfer of such funds to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services. This presentation differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that such activity should be included in the General Fund of the governmental organization.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE
AGENCY FUNDS - The funds used to account for assets held for use by other funds, governments, or individuals.

NOTE 1: SUMI\1ARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FUND ACCOUNTING
ACCOUNT GROUPS
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS - The account group used to account for fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations. Fixed assets purchased are recorded at cost or at estimated historical cost if historical cost is not practically determinable. 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 general fixed assets.
The cost ofnormal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Material improvements adding to the value or useful life of the assets are included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT - The account group used to report the noncurrent portions of certain governmental long-term liabilities, such as claims, judgments and compensated absences, which will be paid from future resources. .
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING MEASUREMENT FOCUS
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. Governmental funds should be accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, operating statements present increases and decreases in net current assets and unreserved fund balance is a measure ofavailable spendable resources. In accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, the Budget Fund remits its unreserved fund balance (surplus) to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services in the subsequent fiscal year.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES BUDGETFUND
Except as disclosed in the following paragraphs, units of government of the State of Georgia record their Budget Fund revenues and expenditures in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis ofaccounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are "measurable and available"). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities ofthe current period. Revenues that are accrued include primarily State appropriations, Federal grants and entitlements, and certain amounts earned under operating agreements with other parties. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences, claims and judgements which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES BUDGET FUND
Contractual obligations for goods and services which have not been received at the end ofthe fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities iil the accompanying financial statements. This accounting practice causes expenditure-driven grant revenues to be accrued based, in part, on the unexecuted portion ofcontracts 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 consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, which provide for the recording ofencumbrances as a reservation offund balance. Further, revenue recognition for expenditure-driven grants should be based upon expenditures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Prior period adjustments and certain other items are reported as additions to and deductions from fund balances ofthe Budget Fund 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.
STATE REVENUE COLLECTIONS FUND The State Revenue Collections Fund is maintained on the Cash Receipts and Disbursements basis of accounting as prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia. This basis of accounting is defined as that method of accounting in which certain revenue and the related assets are recognized when received rather than when earned, and certain expenses are recognized when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred. The State Revenue Collections Fund, which should be included in the General Fund in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, should be maintained on the modified accrual basis of accounting.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE AGENCY FUNDS
Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not measure results of operations or have a measurement focus. The modified accrual basis of accounting is utilized for recognizing assets and liabilities.
BUDGET Appropriation allotments to the Office of the Governor are on the basis ofa budget submitted by the Office and approved by the Legislature and the Governor. The budget is adopted on a basis consistent with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia and is compiled in the same manner as all State departments. Expenditures are classified by budget unit object classes as provided in Act No. 476 ofGeorgia Laws 1995 (as approved April 21, 1995) and amended by Act No. 513 of Georgia Laws 1996 (as approved February 16, 1996). This budget is considered to be an appropriated budget and is referred to in these notes as the Amended Appropriations Act of 1995-1996.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUDGET Overexpenditure ofa budget unit object class, except for the "common object classes", included in the Office of the Governor's final amended budget is in violation of Section 54 of the 1995-1996 Amended Appropriations Act. Expenditures ofno more than 102% ofthe stated amount for each common object class are authorized by Section 54. However, the total expenditure for the group of common object classes may not exceed the sum of the stated amounts for the separate object classes of the group. The common object classes include Personal Services, Regular Operating Expenses, Travel, Motor Vehicle Purchases, Equipment, Computer Charges, Real Estate Rentals, Telecommunications and Postage.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents include currency on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and cash management pools that have the general characteristics of demand deposit accounts in that the Office may deposit additional cash at any time and also may withdraw cash at any time without prior notice or penalty.
INVESTMENTS The Office of the Governor participates in an investment pool managed by the State of Georgia's Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services (OTFS) referred to as the "Georgia Fund I". The Office does not have any risk exposure related to investments in derivatives or similar investments in Georgia Fund 1 as the investment policy of OTFS does not provide for investments in derivatives or similar investments through the Georgia Fund 1.
INVENTORIES No inventories of supplies are reported in these financial statements. Expendable supplies are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase.
RESERVED FUND BALANCE Reserves represent those portions of fund equity not appropriable for expenditure or legally segregated for a specific future use. The following is a brief description of the reserves reflected in the accompanying financial statements: .
FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE The residual portion ofFederal financial assistance revenues not yet expended or encumbered. This amount is restricted for expenditure in future years. This accounting treatment differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that the unearned portion of Federal financial assistance should be reflected as deferred revenue.
CRIME VICTIMS EMERGENCY FUND Funds received from penalty assessments for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs for the purpose of compensating innocent victims of crime. This amount is restricted for expenditures in subsequent years.

Other Risk Management
The Department ofAdministrative 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. The Office of the Governor 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.

Participation in the plan is optional. Participants choose the option or options in which they wish to participate. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property or rights of the State of Georgia subject only to the claims of the State's general creditors.

Plan Description retirement allowances for employees ofthe State of Georgia. The Office's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1996, for employees covered by ERS was $12,694,930.11. The Office's total payroll for all employees was $13,442,982.83.
Benefits The benefit structure of ERS was significantly modified on July 1, 1982. Unless elected 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. All other members are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions.
Under both the old plan and new plan, members become vested after 10 years of creditable service. A member
may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 1 years of creditable service and attainment of age 65. If 1 years of service is completed and age 60 is reached, the member may retire with
a reduced benefit. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 30 years of service regardless of age.
Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest eight consecutive calendar quarters of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Postretirement cost-of-living adjustments are also made to member's benefits. 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.
Funding Status and Progress Funding status and progress information is presented in the ERS June 30, 1996, financial report which may be obtained through ERS.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made As established by State statute, all full-time employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions, who are not members ofother state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute.
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of employee contributions paid by the employee of 1.25% ofcompensation and 4.75% of compensation paid by the Office of the Governor on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.25% of compensation paid by employee. The Office also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 1996, the ERS employer contribution rate for the Office amounted to 14.95% ofcovered payroll and included the 4.75% contributed on behalf of the employee under the old plan referred to above. The employer contributions are projected to liquidate the unfunded actuarial

Actuarial assumptions used by the ERS to complite actuarially determined contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit obligation.
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 1996 amounted to $2,056,630.28, of whicp $1,897,939.88 was made by the Office and $158,690.40 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.

GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Plan Description The Office ofthe Governor participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan ("GDCP") which is a singleemployer defined contribution plan established by the Georgia General Assembly for the purpose of providing retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Employees' Retirement System Board of Trustees. The Office's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1996, for employees covered by GDCP was $575,129.11. The Office's total payroll for all employees was $13,442,982.83.
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. If a member has less than $ 3,500 credit to hislher account, the Board 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.
Contributions and Vesting Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 1996 amounted to $43,134.91 which represents 7.50% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.

A member is eligible for service retirement after the member (1) has attained the age of 60 years and has at least ten years ofcreditable service, (2) has at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or (3) has attained the age of 55 years and has at least 25 years of creditable service. For those members with 30 years of service or those age 60 with at least ten years of service, retirement benefits are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two consecutive highest paid years ofservice multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. Any member who has between 25 and 30 years of creditable service and is at least 55 years ofage shall receive a benefit which is reduced by the lessor of 1/12 of 7% for each month the member is below age 60, or by 7% for each year or fraction thereofby which the member has less than 30 years of service. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life. Options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension at a reduced rate to a designated beneficiary on the member's death.
Retirement benefits also include death and disability benefits whereby the disabled member or surviving spouse
is entitled to receive annually an amount equal to the member's service retirement benefit or disability
retirement; whichever is greater. The benefit is based on member's creditable service (minimum of 1 years of service) and compensation up to the date of death or up to the time of disability.
Members become fully vested after ten years of service. If a member terminates with less than ten years of service, no vesting ofemployer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions are refunded with interest.
Contributions Required and Contributions Made Employees of the Institute who are covered by TRS are required to pay 5% oftheir gross earnings to TRS. The :Institute makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board of Trustees as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 1996, the employer contribution rate was 11.81% for covered employees. The interest rate assumption (rate of return on investments) was 7.50%.

Funding Status and Progress

Pension Benefit Obligation

.

The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized measurement established by

Statement NO.5 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that is required to be used for

reporting purposes. The standardized measurement is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits.

This pension valuation method reflects the present value of estimated pension benefits that will be paid in

future years as a result of employee services performed to date and is adjusted for the effects of projected

salary increases and any step-rate benefits. A standardized measure of the pension benefit obligation was

adopted by the GASB to enable readers of the PERS financial statements to assess that PERS funding status

on a going-concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and

make comparisons among similar PERS.

'

The total unfunded pension benefit obligation ofTRS as of June 30, 1995, which was the latest information available, was as follows:

Total pension benefit obligation

$ 17,442,607,000.00

Net assets available for benefits, at cost

15,857,066,000.00

Unfunded pension benefit obligation

$ 1.585,541.00000

The measurement ofthe total pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as of June 30, 1995. Net assets available for benefits were valued as of the same date. TRS does not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit obligation for individual employers.

Retirement System Contributions Total contributions from all employers to TRS for the year ended June 30, 1996, were $607,274,559.00. The Institute's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1996, of $8,526.14 was actuarially determined and represented .0014% of total contributions made by all participating employers.

Trend Information Historical trend information is presented in the TRS June 30, 1996, financial report. This information gives an indication of the progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due.

The review report for the year ended June 30, 1995, noted deficiencies in the procedures used to account for general fixed assets. For the year under review, our examination included a review of the accounting procedures utilized by the Office ofthe Governor in maintaining their State Property System. This review also consisted oftesting the System for compliance with Federal and State laws and regulations. Procedures were also completed to verify the accuracy of the total equipment inventory valuation contained in the inventory records, which comprises the General Fixed Assets Account Group.

Fifty-two (52) equipment items were selected to test the accuracy of the Department's general fixed asset records. These items contained a value of $184,809.41 and were selected for the purpose oflocating the equipment as recorded in the inventory records. The following deficiencies were noted at the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, which is administratively attached to the Office of the Governor:

(1) Eleven (11) items totaling $29,292.21 could not be located.

(2) Two (2) items totaling $2,869.00 were surplused, but were not removed from the inventory records.

(3) Two (2) items totaling $2,696.00 were traded-in, but were not removed from the inventory records.

In addition, one (1) item located in the test area was not included on the inventory records.

The Office of the Governor is required to maintain equipment inventories in accordance with provisions of paragraph 32 ofOMB's Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments (Common Rule) and the State Property System Manual. The discrepancies identified above were caused by the Office's failure to follow guidelines for maintaining equipment inventories.

EXPENDITURESILIABILITIESIDISBURSEMENTS Improper Reporting and Budgeting ofExpenditures Financial Statements Audit Control Number 422-96-02 In the year under review, the Office of the Governor expended $18,414,219.12 under the Object Class - Per Diem, Fees and Contracts for contracts. Funds budgeted for contracts under Object Class - Per Diem, Fees and Contracts normally contemplate that goods and/or services will be received by the State Agency. However, a random sample of 12 contracts revealed that the Office of the Governor simply provided funds to various parties and received no goods or services in return. The related expenditures totaling $957,635.00 for the 12 items tested should have been charged to a grants object class instead of Per Diem, Fees and Contracts. The Office ofthe Governor should perform an extensive review ofthe fiscal year 1997 budget to ensure that grants are correctly budgeted and recorded in the accounting records.
