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 Georgia Regents University, 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, 2013.
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.

13ARL-62

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 due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to Georgia Regents University'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 Georgia Regents University'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 Georgia Regents University as of June 30, 2013, 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 Georgia Regents University 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 Georgia Regents University. They do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the State of Georgia as of June 30, 2013, 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 2013, Georgia Regents University adopted new accounting guidance, GASB Statement No. 60, Service Concession Arrangements and GASB Statement No. 63, Reporting Deferred Outflows, Deferred Inflows, and Net Position. Our opinion is not modified with respect to these matters.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, on January 8, 2013, Georgia Health Sciences University and Augusta State University merged to become Georgia Regents University. These financial statements contain the combined information of the two previous entities as Georgia Regents University.
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 vi 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.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of Georgia Regents University. 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 Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November 18, 2013, on our consideration of Georgia Regents University'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 Georgia Regents University's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.
Respectfully,

GSG:as 13ARL-62

Greg S. Griffin State Auditor

GEORGIA REGENTS UNIVERSITY
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

Georgia Health Sciences University, the oldest school of medicine in Georgia, was incorporated in

1828 as the Medical Academy of Georgia. The University has become known for its world-class

instructional, clinical, and research programs. The University offers more than 40 academic

programs in allied health sciences, dentistry, graduate studies, medicine, and nursing at the

baccalaureate, masters, doctoral, and professional levels. Augusta State University is the primary

public institution of higher learning in Georgia committed to the advancement of knowledge and the

enrichment of its community. It is well known for its dedication to expanding educational

opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds. By resolution of the Board of Regents of the

University System of Georgia on January 8, 2013, both institutions were consolidated and united to

form Georgia Regents University which is one of the 31 institutions of higher education of the

University System of Georgia. The wide range of educational opportunities attracts a highly qualified

faculty and student body. A brief historical comparison of student levels is shown by the comparison

numbers that follow.

Overview of the Financial Statements and Financial Analysis

Georgia Regents University is pleased to present its financial statements for fiscal year 2013. 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 the University's financial statements provides an overview of its financial activities for the year. Comparative data is provided for fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2012.

Statement of Net Position

The Statement of Net Position presents the assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, deferred inflows of resources, and net position of the University as of the end of the fiscal year. The Statement of Net Position is a point-of-time financial statement. The Statement of Net Position presents a fiscal snapshot of Georgia Regents University. 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 of resources minus liabilities plus deferred inflows of resources) and their availability for expenditure by the institution. Net position is divided into three major categories. The first category,

i

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 two categories, nonexpendable and expendable.

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. The final category is unrestricted. Unrestricted resources are available to the institution for any lawful purpose.

$ 493,811,638

Total assets increased by $7,810,992, which was due to an increase of $29,801,221 in the category of Current Assets. The increase is mainly in the category of prepaid items.

Total liabilities decreased for the year by $11,202,006. The combination of the increase in total assets of $7,810,992 and the decrease in total liabilities of $11,202,006 yields an increase in net position of $19,012,998. The increase in net position is primarily in the category of Restricted Capital Projects in the amount of $34,358,038.
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.

ii

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.

iv

Operating revenues increased by $8,453,028 in fiscal year 2013. Revenues increased primarily in the category of grants and contracts. Nonoperating revenues increased by $22,310,867 for the year primarily as the result of $20,000,000 in gifts used to partially finance the GSFIC managed construction of the J. Harold Harrison Education Commons Building and an increase in state appropriations for special funding initiatives and the medical school expansion. The compensation and employee benefits category increased by $20,170,785 and primarily affected the Public Service, Academic Support, and Patient Care categories. Faculty personnel costs increased as the result of planned growth in both clinical and research faculty. The Cancer Center and the Department of Medicine recruited new faculty as the University works toward improving its research ranking and the ultimate designation as an NCI Cancer Center. The clinical operations continue to expand that staff to enhance several services including surgery, pediatrics, and gastroenterology. The Department of Psychiatry also experienced clinical growth as a new contract with the State of Georgia to manage its inpatient Psychiatric service was signed. Utilities decreased by $1,699,171 during the past year. The decrease was not significant and primarily associated with decreased electricity and fuel oil costs that were experienced during fiscal year 2013. Statement of Cash Flows The final statement presented by the Georgia Regents University is the Statement of Cash Flows. The Statement of Cash Flows presents detailed information about the cash activity of the institution during the year. The statement is divided into five parts. The first part deals with operating cash flows and shows the net cash used by the operating activities of the institution. The second section reflects cash flows from noncapital financing activities. This section reflects the cash received and spent for nonoperating, noninvesting, and noncapital financing purposes. The third section deals with cash flows from capital and related financing activities. This section deals with the cash used for the acquisition and construction of capital and related items. The fourth section reflects the cash flows from investing activities and shows the purchases, proceeds, and interest received from investing activities. The fifth section reconciles the net cash used to the operating income or loss reflected on the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Position.

Georgia Regents University acquired property from the Georgia State Properties Commission in fiscal year 2013 consisting of 16.47 acres of land known as Georgia Golf Hall of Fame located at 1 Eleventh Street in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia valued at $5,265,951. The University also had capital assets additions for buildings and building improvements in fiscal year 2013. Numerous projects were completed during the fiscal year totaling $7,994,703. The School of Dentistry was substantially completed in fiscal year 2012, and $141,961 of additional work was completed in the current year.

Other on-going projects funded by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission (GSFIC) included $5,721,418. Projected funding by GSFIC for fiscal year 2014 will be approximately the same.

For additional information concerning Capital Assets, see Notes 1, 6, 8, and 10 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Long-Term Liabilities

Georgia Regents University had Long-Term Liabilities of $90,564,039 of which $20,919,973 was reflected as current liability at June 30, 2013.

For additional information concerning Long-Term Liabilities, see Notes 1 and 8 in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Economic Outlook

Along with all other institutions of the University System of Georgia, the University continues to respond to pressures to hold costs to lower levels and tuition to very modest increases. For fiscal year 2014, the state appropriations budget was again reduced by 3% and undergraduate tuition was held to a 3.5% increase for continuing students. The longer-term outlook is somewhat more optimistic as the State and National economies continue to show promise of slow but positive growth and strong budget support for education is shown by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal and the General Assembly.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations Georgia Regents University serves the local, state, and national communities by providing leadership and excellence in teaching, discovery, clinical care, and service as a student-centered comprehensive research university and academic health center, with a wide range of programs from learning assistance through postdoctoral studies.
Reporting Entity On January 8, 2013, Georgia Health Sciences University and Augusta State University merged to become Georgia Regents University. Georgia Regents University 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 Regents 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 Regents University does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Georgia Regents University 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 17 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 University is considered a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the University'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-University transactions have been eliminated.
New Accounting Pronouncements In fiscal year 2013, the University adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 60, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Service Concession Arrangements. The provisions of this Statement establish accounting and financial reporting standards for governments who enter into Service Concession Arrangements (SCA) with other governmental or nongovernmental entities. As of June 30, 2013, the University has not entered into any arrangements that meet the qualifications to be reported as a SCA in accordance with this standard.

In fiscal year 2013, the University adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 62, Codification of Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in PreNovember 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA Pronouncements. The provisions of this Statement incorporate certain accounting and financial reporting guidance into authoritative GASB literature.
In fiscal year 2013, the University adopted the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net Position. The provisions of this Statement establish financial reporting standards for the presentation of deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources and their effects on a government's net position. The University changed its presentation of net assets to net position for fiscal year 2013. There were no other applicable reporting changes for the University
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 Pool and the Board of Regents Short-Term Investment Pool.
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 University accounts for its investments at fair value. 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 Total Return Fund and the Board of Regents Diversified Fund are included under Investments.
Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consists of tuition and fees charged to students and auxiliary enterprise services provided to students, faculty and staff, the majority of whom reside 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 University'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 the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") basis. Resale inventories are valued at cost using the "first-in, first-out" method.
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.
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 University's capitalization policy includes all items with a unit cost of $5,000 or more, and an estimated useful life of greater than one year. Renovations to buildings, infrastructure, and land improvements that exceed $100,000 and/or significantly increase the value or extend the useful life of the structure are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense in the year in which the expense was incurred. Depreciation, which also includes amortization of intangible assets such as water, timber,

and mineral rights, easements, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as software, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 40 to 60 years for buildings, 20 to 25 years for infrastructure and land improvements, 10 years for library books, and 3 to 20 years for equipment. Residual values generally are 10% of historical costs for infrastructure, buildings and building improvements, and facilities and other improvements.
To fully understand 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 GSFIC. These bonds constitute direct and general obligations of the State of Georgia, to 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 University when complete. For projects managed by the University, the University retains construction-in-progress on its books and is reimbursed by GSFIC. For the year ended June 30, 2013, GSFIC did not transfer any capital additions to Georgia Regents University.
Deposits Deposits represent good faith deposits from students to reserve housing assignments in a University residence hall.
Unearned Revenues Unearned Revenues 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. Unearned revenues 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. Georgia Regents University had accrued liability for compensated absences in the amount of $33,665,409 as of July 1, 2012. For fiscal year 2013, $24,330,431 was earned in compensated absences and employees were paid $23,768,110 , for a net increase of $562,321. The ending balance as of June 30, 2013 in accrued liability for compensated absences was $34,227,730.
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 University's net position is classified as follows:
Net Investment in capital assets: This represents the University'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.

Restricted net position - nonexpendable: Nonexpendable restricted net position consists of endowment and similar type funds, in which donors or other outside sources have stipulated, as a condition of the gift instrument, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and in perpetuity, and invested for the purpose of producing present and future income, which may be either expended or added to principal. The University may accumulate as much of the annual net income of an institutional fund as is prudent under the standard established by Code Section 44-15-7 of Annotated Code of Georgia.
Restricted net position - expendable: Restricted expendable net position includes resources in which the University is legally or contractually obligated to spend in accordance with restrictions imposed by external third parties.

Unrestricted net position: Unrestricted net position represents resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments and auxiliary enterprises. These resources are used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the University, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet current expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus) of $232,745. Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, University System Office for remittance to the Office of the State Treasurer. These resources also include auxiliary enterprises, which are substantially self-supporting activities that provide services for students, faculty, and staff.

Unrestricted resources include the following items which are quasi-restricted by management at June 30, 2013:

Income Taxes Georgia Regents University, as a political subdivision of the State of Georgia, is excluded from Federal income taxes under Section 115(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
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 Revenues: 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 Revenues: 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, such as state appropriations and investment income.
Operating Expenses: Operating expense includes activities that have the characteristics of exchange transactions.
Nonoperating Expense: Nonoperating expense includes activities that have the characteristics of nonexchange transactions, such as capital financing costs and costs related to investment activity.
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 University, 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 University's financial statements. To the extent that revenues from such programs are used to satisfy tuition and fees and other student charges, the University has recorded contra revenue for scholarship allowances.
Note 2. Deposits and Investments
Deposits The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the University's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the University) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia.

The University does not have a formal policy addressing variable-rate securities. The University relies upon the judgment of its Investment Managers and the policies of the investment vehicles related to Georgia Regents University's investment assets.

The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. The fair value of investments is determined daily. The pool does not issue shares. Each participant is allocated a pro rata share of each investment at fair value along with a pro rata share of the interest that it earns. Participation in the Board of Regents Investment Pool is voluntary. The Board of Regents Investment Pool is not rated. Additional information on the Board of Regents Investment Pool is disclosed in the audited Financial Statements of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia - System Office (oversight unit). This audit can be obtained from the Georgia Department of Audits - Education Audit Division or on their web site at http://www.audits.ga.gov.

Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The University's Investment Policy and Guidelines manages interest rate risk by recognizing that short-term loss of principal may be necessary in order to achieve longterm safety and growth of principal; and that in order to maximize income from debt instruments with maturities longer than sixty days, market values may be exposed to short-term volatility.

The Effective Duration of the Short-Term Fund is 0.56 years. Of the University's total investment of $4,632,096 in the Short-Term Fund, $4,063,691 is invested in debt securities.

The Effective Duration of the Total Return Fund is 5.10 years. Of the University's total investment of $496,353 in the Total Return Fund, $158,639 is invested in debt securities.
The Effective Duration of the Diversified Fund is 5.43 years. Of the University's total investment of $8,174,497 in the Diversified Fund, $2,615,839 is invested in debt securities.
Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of a failure of the counterparty to a transaction, the University will not be able to recover the value of the investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The University does not have a formal policy for managing custodial credit risk for investments. Investment Managers are held accountable for custodial safety. The University's Investment Policy and Guidelines require that managers be registered in good standing as investment advisors; and will be experienced with proven track records.
At June 30, 2013, $60,060,314 of the University's applicable investments were uninsured and held by the investment's counterparty's trust department or agent, in the University's name.
Credit Quality Risk Credit quality risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The University's policy for managing credit quality risk is contained in its Investment Policy. All investment vehicles are designed to comply with Georgia Code 50-17-63.
The investments subject to credit quality risk are reflected below:

Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. The University's Investment Policy and Guidelines for managing concentration of credit risk requires that stocks and debt issues be diversified. The University also relies upon the concentration of credit risk policy of the individual investment vehicles related to Georgia Regents University's investment assets. More than 5% of the University's investments are in the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and Mutual Bond Fund. These investments are 34.0%, 10.9%, and 11.2% respectively of the University's total investments.

Note 6. Notes/Loans Receivable

The Federal Perkins Loan Program (the Program) comprises substantially all of the loans receivable at June 30, 2013. 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 University for amounts cancelled under these provisions. As the University 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 University 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, 2013, the allowance for uncollectible loans was approximately $394,468.

Note 12. Retirement Plans
Georgia Regents University 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 Regents University 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.

EXHIBIT "D"

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.

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 Regents University pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these Georgia Regents University 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 Regents University 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 Regents University contributions are not at any time refundable to the member or his/her beneficiary.

Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2013 were based on the June 30, 2010 actuarial valuation as follows:

Old Plan* New Plan GSEPS

14.90% 14.90% 11.54%

*10.15% 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.
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. It is also assumed that certain cost-of-living adjustments, based on the Consumer Price Index, will be made in future years. 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. Options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension, at a reduced rate, to a designated beneficiary on the member's death.
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, 2013 were 6.00% of annual salary. Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2013 were 11.41% of annual salary as required by the June 30, 2010 actuarial valuation.

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 a principal administrator, 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 (AIG-VALIC, American Century, 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.

Funding Policy Georgia Regents University 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 2013, 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 Regents University and the covered employees made the required contributions of $12,414,648 (9.24%) and $7,444,242 (6%), respectively.

AIG-VALIC, American Century, 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 Regents University 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 part-time 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. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. 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 2013 amounted to $595,436 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
The Georgia Defined Contribution Plan issues a financial report each fiscal year, which may be obtained from the ERS offices.
Early Retirement Pension Plan
Plan Description Georgia Regents University Early Retirement Pension Plan (ERP) is a single-employer defined benefit pension plan administered by Bryan, Pendleton, Swats and McAlister. The plan was devised by Georgia Regents University (GRU) as a means of manpower reduction and was approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (BOR) effective January 1, 2000.
The manpower reduction plan was designed to allow vested employees aged 55 or employees of any age with 25 years of creditable service to retire without penalties as applied by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) for early retirement. The plan would allow for all participants to retire as if they were vested and aged 60 or had attained 30 years of creditable service. No other benefits will be paid by this plan.
The ERP does not issue a standalone report, however, a financial statement is maintained by the Georgia Regents University, Controller's Division, and is available for review during normal business hours.
Funding Policy The plan is to be funded by the purchase of an annuity utilizing salary savings of departed employees. The initial funding period of the annuity was 15 years; however, effective January 1, 2004, the remaining amortization period was extended 4 years. The fund sources that provided for an employee's salary, as of December 31, 1999, would be responsible for funding the annuity to provide the retiree benefits. There is no additional funding cost to the employee/retiree, BOR, or State of Georgia for this plan.
Since this plan was not pre-funded, Georgia Regents University is taking an aggressive approach to collect and deposit as much into the annuity fund in the earlier years as is possible, thereby, realizing a greater return on investment. Effective January 1, 2009, the period to amortize the unfunded

accrued liability was extended 4 years to 14 years. The funding policy is reasonable and in compliance with the minimum funding requirements set forth in Code Section 47-20-10 of the Public Retirement Systems Standards Law. With this change, the plan should be fully funded by June 30, 2023. Further, since the actuarial value of assets had diverged significantly from the market value of assets, the actuarial value of assets at January 1, 2009, was reestablished and set equal to the market value of assets.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions The annual required contribution for the current year was determined as part of the January 1, 2012 actuarial valuation using the Entry Age Actuarial cost method. The remaining amortization period is 10 years utilizing the entry age, level dollar, closed method. The actuarial value of assets recognizes a portion of the difference between the market value of assets and the expected actuarial value of assets, based on the assumed interest rate of return. The amount recognized each year is 20% of the difference between market value and expected actuarial value. The actuarial assumptions include (a) 7.5% rate of return on investment, (b) annual inflation of 3.5%, and (c) annual cost of living increase of 3.0%.
Note 13. Risk Management
The University System of Georgia offers its employees and retirees access to four different selfinsured healthcare plan options. For the University System of Georgia's Plan Year 2013, the following health care options were available:
Blue Choice HMO plan (Blue Cross Blue Shield) HSA Open Access POS plan (Blue Cross Blue Shield) Open Access POS plan Kaiser Permanente HMO plan
Georgia Regents University and participating employees and retirees pay premiums to either of the self-insured healthcare plan options to access benefits coverage. The respective self-insured healthcare 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 these plans. 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, a wholly owned subsidiary of WellPoint, to serve as the claims administrator for the self-insured healthcare plan products. 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.

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 Regents University, 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 Regents University is responsible for asbestos abatement as a small part of the project costs for various projects. The University has recorded a liability and expense related to this pollution remediation in the amount of $26,023. 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 is the remaining amount of project abatement costs at June 30, 2013. The University does not anticipate any significant changes to the expected remediation outlay. Pollution remediation liability activity in fiscal year 2013 was a follows:

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 Regents University expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial to its overall financial position.
Litigation, claims and assessments filed against Georgia Regents University (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, 2013.

Note 15. 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 University 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.

Prepaid items reported in the Budget Fund that are 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. Georgia State Financing and Investment activity reported as revenues in the Budget Fund that are for expenditures based on encumbrances are eliminated for GAAP reporting. Reimbursement from grantors reported as revenues in the Budget Fund that are for expenditures based on encumbrances are deferred for GAAP reporting. Total Net Effect of Encumbrance Activity

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 Regents University as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and have issued our report thereon dated November 18, 2013.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Georgia Regents University'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 Regents University's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Georgia Regents University'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.

2013YB-10

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. 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.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Georgia Regents University'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.
We noted certain matters that we have reported to management of Georgia Regents University in a separate letter dated November 18, 2013.
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 2013YB-10

Eligibility Significant Deficiency Nonmaterial Noncompliance U. S. Department of Education None 84.SFA Student Financial Assistance Cluster Program

Description:

The University's Student Financial Assistance Office improperly determined the financial need of eligible students.

Criteria:

Provisions included in 34 CFR 668 provide general provisions for administering Student Financial Assistance (SFA) programs and 34 CFR 674, 675, 676, and 685 and 690 provide eligibility and other related program requirements that are specific to the Federal Perkins Loan Program, Federal Work-Study Program, Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Direct Loan Program, and the Federal Pell Grant Program, respectively.

Condition:

A sample of thirty financial assistance files from the Georgia Regents University's student Financial Assistance program was selected to determine if financial assistance was properly calculated and disbursed to eligible students. The items sampled contained financial assistance disbursements of $818,669.00 out of a population of $56,765,959.00. One student in the sample was disbursed Direct Subsidized Student Loans in excess of the student's calculated financial need in the amount of $2,303.00.

Questioned Cost:

Questioned costs of $2,303.00 were identified for one student who received student financial assistance in excess of their eligible need, which when projected over the entire population, resulted in a likely questioned cost of $159,688.47.

Cause:

In discussing this deficiency with the University, they stated that the University's Student Financial Assistance Office did not accurately reflect the amount of other resources available to the student at the time of award.

Effect or Potential Effect: The University was not in compliance with Federal regulations concerning the awarding of SFA funds to students. A total of $2,303.00 was disbursed in excess of eligibility.

FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

Recommendation:

The University should develop and/or modify its policies and procedures to ensure that correct amounts will be awarded to students in conformity with financial need requirements. Additionally, the University should develop and implement a monitoring process to ensure that controls are properly implemented. The University should also contact the U. S. Department of Education regarding the resolution of this finding.

Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plans:

We concur with this finding. The Office of Student Financial Aid will implement procedures to monitor exceptions that may affect students' eligibility for financial aid after the initial awarding has been completed. This will include, but is not limited to, changes in financial need, cost of attendance, and enrollment. If a student's eligibility changes at any time, appropriate actions will be taken in accordance with Federal regulations.
