Honorable Sonny Perdue, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
and Director and Members of the Athens Regional Library Board
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying general-purpose financial statements of the Athens Regional Library, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2002, as listed in the table ofcontents. These generalpurpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Athens Regional Library's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general-purpose financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general-purpose financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in the notes to the general-purpose financial statements, the Library's financial statements have been prepared using a certain accounting practice and policy which, in our opinion, varies in some respects from generally accepted accounting principles. This variance is described as follows:
* The general-purpose financial statements ofthe Library did not contain a General Fixed Assets Account Group to account for property, equipment and inexhaustible collections and books owned by the Library which should be included to conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
2002ARL-42

The aggregate effect on the general-purpose financial statements ofthis variance or omission has not been determined, but is believed to be material.
In our opinion, except for the effects on the general-purpose financial statements of the matter referred to in the third paragraph, the general-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Athens Regional Library as of June 30, 2002, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements of the Athens Regional Library taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E and F) and the financial schedules (Schedules I through 4), as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general-purpose financial statements of the Athens Regional Library. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe general-purpose financial statements and in our opinion, except for the effects of the matter discussed in the third paragraph, such information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the general-purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy ofthis report has been filed as a permanent record in the office ofthe State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Section 506-24.
Respectfully submitted,
~~4:k. 11 W. Hinton State Auditor

ATHENS REGIONAL LIBRARY

EXHIBIT "D"

NOTES TO THE GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2002

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Athens Regional Library (Library) operates pursuant to Official Code of Georgia Annotated Sections 20-5-40 through 20-5-59 to provide public library services with costs shared by participating local governmental agencies and grants from the State of Georgia. With the exception of the departure from generally accepted accounting principles disclosed in these notes, the financial statements of the Library have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental units and unless otherwise disclosed in these notes, the financial statements present all fund types and account groups of the Library.
The Library Board consists of 16 members; 4 members appointed by Clarke County Library Board, 3 members appointed by Franklin County Library Board, 3 members appointed by Madison County Library Board, 3 members appointed by Oconee County Library Board and 3 members appointed by Oglethorpe County Library Board. The Library Board is without authority to determine the amount of its funding, except by submission of budget requests to local governmental units from which the Library receives support and to the State of Georgia for State and Federal funding. Membership in the Library and participation in library services is at the discretion ofeach participating governmental agency. The Library Board has the power to designate management, the power to retain unreserved fund balances of local and other funds for continued operations and is the lowest level of oversight responsibility for the Library's operations. The Athens Regional Library is therefore determined to be a joint venture.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The Library uses funds and an account group to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain governrnental functions or activities.
A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. An account group is a financial reporting device designed to provide accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in the funds because they do not directly affect expendable available financial resources.
General Fixed Assets, which includes the Library's inexhaustible collections and books, are recorded as expenditures in the various funds at the time of purchase. A General Fixed Assets Account Group is not presently maintained by the Library. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, a General Fixed Assets Account Group should be maintained for reporting the cost ofassets acquired by governmental fund types.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2002

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The general-purpose financial statements account for all State, Federal, Local and Other funds under control of the Library, in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental units, unless otherwise disclosed in these notes. Funds and the account group presented in this report are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES - used to account for all or most of the Library's general activities. Governmental Fund Types include:
GENERAL FUND - the fund used to account for all financial resources of the Library except those required to be accounted for in another fund. These transactions relate to resources obtained and used for services provided by a Library.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. The primary type of special revenue fund consists ofproceeds received from State and Federal sources to accomplish specific objectives and are required to be accounted for separately.
ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - A financial reporting device used to account for compensated absences.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Their reported fund balance is considered a measure of available spendable resources.
Liabilities which are expected to be financed from available spendable resources are reported as liabilities in the governmental funds. Other liabilities, which are not expected to be financed from .available spendable resources, are reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.
Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis ofaccounting under which:
Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both 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 be used to pay liabilities of the current period. The Library considers receivables collected within sixty days after year-end to be

Note l: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
available and therefore susceptible to accrual. Nonexchange transactions, in which the Library gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include intergovernmental grants and donations. Revenue from grants and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.
BUDGET
The Athens Regional Library's budget is a complete financial plan for the Library's fiscal year and is based upon estimates of expenditures together with probable funding sources. There is no statutory prohibition regarding overexpenditure of the budget at any level. The budget for all governmental funds is prepared by fund, function and object. The legal level of budget control was established by the Library at the aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The budget process begins when the Library's administration prepares a tentative aggregated budget for the Board's approval. After approval of this tentative budget by the Board, copies are sent to all local funding agencies. After funding approval is received from all local funding agencies, the Board makes revisions as necessary and adopts the budget. The budget is then submitted to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia as a part of the Library's annual application for State aid. The Board may increase or decrease the budget at any time during the year. All unexpended budget authority lapses at fiscal year end.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in authorized financial institutions. Georgia Laws authorize the Library to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks or insured Federal savings and loan associations.
INVESTMENTS
COMPOSITION OF INVESTMENTS Investments made by the Library in nonparticipating interest-earning contracts (such as certificates of deposit) and repurchase agreements are reported at cost. Participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase of one year or less are reported at amortized cost. Both participating interest-earning contracts and money market investments with a maturity at purchase greater than one year and equity investments are reported at fair value. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 36-83-4 authorizes the Library to invest its funds. In selecting among options for investment or among institutional bids for deposits, the highest rate of return shall be the

(1) Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other states,
(2) Obligations issued by the United States government,
(3) Obligations fully insured or guaranteed by the United States government or a United States government agency,
(4) Obligations of any corporation of the United States government,
(5) Prime banker's acceptances,
(6) The Local Government Investment Pool administered by the State of Georgia, Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services,
(7) Repurchase agreements, and
(8) Obligations of other political subdivisions of the State of Georgia.
RECEIVABLES
Receivables consist of grant reimbursements due on Federal, State or other grants for expenditures made but not reimbursed, allotted funds from participating local governments, and other receivables disclosed from information available. Receivables are recorded when either the asset or revenue recognition criteria has been met. Receivables recorded on the general-purpose financial statements do not include any amounts which would necessitate the need for an allowance for uncollectible receivables.
INVENTORIES
Inventories of goods for resale are valued at cost and are recorded as expenditures at the time of purchase. The inventories reported on the balance sheet are equally offset by reservations of fund balance which indicate that these amounts do not constitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component of net current assets.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES
Compensated absences represent obligations of the Library relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon services already rendered. This obligation relates only

INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
The Library has the following type of interfund transactions:
Reimbursements ofexpenditures initially made from a fund that are properly applicable to another fund are recorded as expenditures in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures in the fund that is reimbursed.
MEMORANDUM ONLY - TOTAL COLUMNS
Total columns on the general-purpose financial statements are captioned "Memorandum Only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis. Data in these columns do not present financial position or results of operations in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. nor is such data comparable to a consolidation. lnterfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation of this data.
Note 2: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
COLLATERALIZATION OF DEPOSITS Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) Section 45-8-12 provides that there shall not be on deposit at any time in any depository for a time longer than ten days a sum of money which has not been secured by surety bond, by guarantee of insurance, or by collateral. The aggregate of the face value of such surety bond and the market value of securities pledged shall be equal to not less than 110 percent ofthe public funds being secured after the deduction ofthe amount ofdeposit insurance. If a depository elects the pooled method (OCGA 45-8-13. l) the aggregate ofthe market value ofthe securities pledged to secure a pool ofpublic funds shall be not less than 110 percent ofthe daily pool balance. OCGA Section 45-8-11 (b) provides an officer holding public funds may, in his discretion, waive the requirement for security in the case of operating funds placed in demand deposit checking accounts.
Acceptable security for deposits consists of any one of or any combination of the following:
(1) Surety bond signed by a surety company duly qualified and authorized to transact business within the State of Georgia,
(2) Insurance on accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,

The Library has obtained commercial insurance for risk ofloss associated with torts, assets, errors or omissions and job related illness or injuries to employees. The Library has neither significantly reduced coverage for these risks nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the Library's insurance coverage in any of the past three years.

The Library has elected to self-insure for all losses related to acts of God. The Library has not experienced any losses related to this risk in the past three years.

The Library is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. The Library accounts for claims within the General Fund with expenditure and liability being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. The Library has not experienced any unemployment compensation claims during the last two years.

The Library has purchased a surety bond to provide additional insurance coverage as follows:

SECTION II FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

ATHENS REGIONAL LIBRARY SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
PRIOR YEAR/CURRENT YEAR
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Finding Control Number: 6292-93-01
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 2001, noted that the management ofthe Athens Regional Library had chosen not to maintain a system-wide General Fixed Assets Account Group within the formal accounting records as required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the year under review, the Library did not establish a General Fixed Assets Account Group within the formal accounting records. This condition results in the general-purpose financial statements ofthe Library being incomplete and not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Appropriate action should be taken by the Library to establish accounting controls and procedures to provide for maintenance ofa General Fixed Assets Account Group. These subsidiary records should include an inventory of land, buildings, equipment and inexhaustible collections and books owned by the Library and should include, but may not be limited to, date acquired, acquisition cost, estimated replacement cost, location and description. Detailed records should be maintained of all additions and deletions to the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
