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 Ohoopee 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 Ohoopee 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 Ohoopee 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.
In our opinion, the general-purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Ohoopee Regional Library as of June 30, 1997, and the results of its operations and the cash flows of its nonexpendable trust fund for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the general-purpose financial statements, during fiscal year 1997, the Library completed a comprehensive inventory of its general fixed assets for inclusion in the general-purpose financial statements. This change is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements of the Ohoopee Regional Library taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits G and H) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 4), as listed in the table of contents, are presented
97ARL-43

for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general-purpose financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the 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 Ohoopee 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. 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 eleven members; seven members appointed by Toombs County Library Board, two members appointed by Montgomery County Library Board and two members appointed by Tattnall County Library Board. The Library Board is without authority to detennine 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.
While the Toombs County Library Board appoints a majority of the Ohoopee Regional Library's Board, the Toombs County Library Board is neither able to impose its will upon the Library nor is there a financial benefit/burden relationship between the two boards as defmed by Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The Ohoopee Regional Library is therefore considered to be a related organization of the Toombs County Library Board.
FUND ACCOUNTING
The Library uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid fmancial 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.
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:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPES - used to account for all or most of the Library's general activities. Governmental Fund Types include:

OHOOPEE REGIONAL LIBRARY

EXHIBIT "F"

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30,1997

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE - the trust fund used to account for assets held by a government unit in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other government units and/or other funds. This fund includes:
NONEXPENDABLETRUSTFUND Ohoopee Regional Library Book Fund - the fund used to account for an endowment of which the corpus is to be invested and preserved intact with the resultant income to be used exclusively for the purchase of library books.
ACCOUNT GROUPS
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS ACCOUNT GROUP - used to account for all general fixed assets acquired by the Library which includes land, buildings, equipment and inexhaustible collections and books.
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP - used to account for material compensated absences not appropriately accounted for and recorded in other fund types.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and fmancial 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 decreases (i.e., expenditures) 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 fmanced from available spendable resources, are reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.
Nonexpendable trust funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets.

OHOOPEE REGIONAL LIBRARY

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1997

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Governmental funds are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting under which:
Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., 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.
The accrual basis of accounting, as required by generally accepted accounting principles, is utilized by nonexpendable trust funds. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
BUDGET
The Ohoopee 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 Department of Technical and Adult Education 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 deposits in authorized financial 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

infonnation 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.
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS
General fixed assets purchased, including capital outlay costs, are recorded as expenditures in the various funds at the time of purchase. All purchased general fixed assets are valued at cost where historical records are available and at estimated historical cost where no historical records exist. Donated general fixed assets are recorded at fair market value as of the date donated. Disposals are deleted at recorded cost. No depreciation has been provided on General Fixed Assets. The cost of nonnal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the assets or materially extend the useful lives of the assets is not capitalized. Infrastructure assets are not capitalized by the Library. The values of inexhaustible collections and books at the Library are not readily determinable, therefore, the Library has not capitalized them. During fiscal year 1997 the Library completed a comprehensive inventory of its general fixed assets for inclusion in the general purpose financial statements.
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 financial statements.
INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
The Library has the following type of interfund transactions:
Reimbursements of expenditures/expenses initially made from a fund that are properly applicable to another fund are recorded as expenditures/expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/ expenses 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 fmancial analysis. Data in these columns do not present fmancial position, results of operations or cash flows in confonnity with generally accepted accounting principles, nor is such data comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been made in the aggregation ofthis data. Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative data to confonn to the current year classifications.

Note 4: RISK MANAGEMENT

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

The Library has obtained commercial insurance for risk of loss associated with torts, assets 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 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 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:

Note 6: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Amounts received or receivable principally from the Federal government are subject to audit and review by grantor agencies.

The Library believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial to its overall financial position.

Professionals and nonprofessionals may accrue balances of 160 and 120 hours, respectively. After five years of employment, professionals and nonprofessionals may accrue an additional 40 hours of incentive leave to a maximum accumulation of 200 and 160 hours, respectively. Upon tennination of employment, employees are paid at their current rate of pay for all unused personal leave up to the maximum accumulation. See Note 1 Compensated Absences
