Honorable Zell Miller, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Technical and Adult Education
and Director and Members of the Coastal Plain 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 Coastal Plain Regional Library, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1997, as listed in the table of contents. These general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Coastal Plain 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 generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general-purpose financial statements are free of material 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 of the 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.
The aggregate effects on the general-purpose fmancial statements of this omission have not been determined, but are believed to be material.

97ARL-42

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 fmancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Coastal Plain Regional Library as of June 30, 1997, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements ofthe Coastal Plain Regional Library taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E and F) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 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 fmancial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe general-purpose financial statements and in our opinion is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the generalpurpose financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy of this report has been filed as a permanent record in the office of the State Auditor and made available to the press of the State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-6-24.
Respectfully submitted,
~~
Claude L. Vickers State Auditor

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1997

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Coastal Plain 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 departures from generally accepted accounting principles disclosed in these notes, the financial statements of the Library have been prepared in confonnity 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 eight members; one member appointed by Victoria Evans Memorial Library Board, one member appointed by Carrie Dorsey Perry Memorial Library Board, one member appointed by Cook County Library Board, one member appointed by Irwin County Library Board and four members appointed by Tifton-Tift County Library Board. The 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 of each participating governmental agency. The Library Board has the power to designate management, the power to retain unreserved fund balances of local funds for continued operations and is the lowest level of oversight responsibility for the Library's operations. The Coastal Plain Regional Library is therefore detennined 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 governmental 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 of assets acquired by governmental fund types.
The general purpose financial statements account for all State, Federal 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:

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30. 1997

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 of proceeds 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 - used to account for material 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 fmancing 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 of accounting under which:
Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (Le., when they become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount ofthe transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities ofthe current period. Those revenues considered susceptible to accrual are intergovernmental grants and investment income.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.

JUNE 30, 1997

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUDGET
The Coastal Plain 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 on a basis other than 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 Department of Technical and Adult Education as a part ofthe 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 deposits in authorized fmancial institutions. Georgia Laws authorize the Library to deposit its funds in one or more solvent banks, insured Federal savings and loan associations, or insured State chartered building and loan associations.
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.
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 to vesting accumulating leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No liability has been recorded in the individual funds for the current portion of this obligation as this amount is deemed immaterial to the general purpose fmancial statements.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
The Library has the following types of interfund transactions:
Reimbursements of expenditures 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.
Operating transfers are recorded for all interfund transactions other than reimbursements.
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. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation ofthis data.
Note 2: DEPOSITS
COLLATERALIZAnON 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 ofsecurities pledged shall be equal to not less than 110 percent ofthe public funds being secured after the deduction ofthe amount of deposit insurance. OCGA Section 45-8-11 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 anyone of or any combination ofthe 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,
(3) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or ofthe State of Georgia,
(4) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia,

(5) Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose,

(6) Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the State of Georgia, and

(7) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates of indebtedness, or other obligations of a subsidiary corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest and debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.

CATEGORIZAnON OF DEPOSITS At June 30, 1997, the bank balances were $97,549.78. The bank balances were entirely covered by Federal depository insurance.

Note 3: RISKMANAGEMENT

The Library is exposed to various risks ofloss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destruction of assets; errors or omissions; job related illness or injuries to employees and natural disaster.

The Library has obtained commercial insurance for risk of loss associated with torts and assets. 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 natural disaster. In addition, the Library has elected to self-insure for errors or omissions, which includes, among other risks, risks for sexual harassment and discrimination. The Library has not experienced any losses related to these risks in the past three years.

The Library participates in the Association County Commissioners of Georgia-Self Insured Workers' Compensation Fund, a public entity risk pool organized on July 1, 1982 to develop, implement and administer a program ofworkers' compensation self-insurance for its member organizations. The Library pays an annual premium to the Fund for its general insurance coverage. Additional insurance coverage is provided through an agreement by the Fund with Safety National Casualty Corporation to provide coverage for potential losses by the Fund in excess of $450,000.00 loss per occurrence, up to $2,000,000.00.

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

Note 5: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Amounts received or receivable principally from the Federal government are subject to audit and review by grantor agencies. This could result in requests for reimbursement to the grantor agency for any expenditures which are disallowed under grant terms. The Library believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial to its overall financial position.

Note 6: ACCUMULATED EMPLOYEES' LEAVE

Regular full-time employees earn annual leave ranging from .84 to 1.25 days each month depending upon the employee's length of continuous Library service with a maximum accumulation of fifteen days. Employees are paid at their daily rate of pay for unused accumulated annual leave up to the maximum of fifteen days upon retirement or termination of employment. See Note 1 - Compensated Absences
