INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the general purpose financial statements (Exhibits A through F) of the Okefenokee Regional Library, as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Library's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 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 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 financial statements of this omission have not been determined, but are believed to be material.
96ARL-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 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position ofthe Okefenokee Regional Library as ofIune 30, 1996, and the results ofits operations and the cash flows of its nonexpendable trust funds for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements ofthe Okefenokee Regional Library taken as a whole. The combining statements (Exhibits G through K) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 9), as listed in the table of contents, are presented for purposes ofadditional analysis and are not a required part ofthe general purpose financial statements of the Okefenokee Regional Library. 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 general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy ofthis report has been filed as a permanent record in the office of the State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-6-24.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30. 1996
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Okefenokee Regional 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 ofthe 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 ofthe Library. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles.
The more significant of the Library's accounting policies are described below.
REPORTING ENTITY
In evaluating how to define the governmental unit for financial reporting purposes, management has considered the criteria set forth in GASB Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards, Section 2100, "Defining the Financial Reporting Entity". Based upon the application of the above criteria, the Okefenokee Regional Library is determined to be a joint venture.
The Library Board consists of fifteen members; three members appointed by Appling County Public Library Board, three members appointed by Alma/Bacon County Public Library Board, three members appointed by Clinch County Public Library Board, three members appointed by Pierce County Public Library Board and three members appointed by Waycross - Ware County Public 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 Board has the power to designate management, the power to retain unreserved fund balances oflocal funds for continued operations and is the lowest level of oversight responsibility for the Library's operations.
The Okefenokee Regional Library is located in Waycross, Georgia, and serves Appling, Bacon, Clinch, Pierce and Ware Counties.
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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30. 1996
Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 confonn 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:
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 (other than for major capital projects) 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.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND - the fund used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE - the trust funds used to account for assets held by a government unit in a trustee capacity for individuals, private organizations, other government units and/or other funds. These funds include:
NONEXPENDABLE TRUST FUNDS Buna T. Fain Memorial 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 to purchase library books and materials for the Okefenokee Regional Library.
Georgia Upfold Gates Student Award Trust 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 to provide scholarships on an annual basis.
Waycross - Ware County Library Memorial Trust Fund - the fund used to account for an endowment ofwhich the corpus is to be invested and preserved intact with the resultant income to be used to support, improve and supplement library services.

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNT GROUP
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 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.
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 ofthese funds are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets.
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 of the 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 the 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 Okefenokee 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

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
fund, function and object. The legal level ofbudget 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 Georgia Department ofEducation, Division ofPublic Library Services 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 yearend.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits (including certificates of deposit and N.O.W. accounts) 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 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.
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 types ofinterfund transactions:
Reimbursements ofexpenditures/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.

Note 2: DEPOSITS
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 ofinsurance, or by collateral. The aggregate ofthe 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 of the 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 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,
(3) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates ofindebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or of the State of Georgia,
(4) Bonds, bills, notes, certificates ofindebtedness or other obligations of the counties or municipalities of the State of Georgia,
(5) Bonds ofany public authority created by the laws ofthe State of Georgia, providing that the statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose,

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' LEAVB
The Library's regular employees earn vacation leave according to their length of service ranging from one and one quarter to one and three quarter days per month with a maximum accumulation of 15 to 21 days. All unused vacation leave up to the maximum accumulation is paid to employees at their current rate of pay, upon retirement or termination ofemployment. See Note 1 - Compensated Absences
Note 7: RETIREMENT PLANS
TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA (TRS)
TRS PLAN DESCRIPTION All full-time librarians and clerical personnel employed by regional and county libraries are covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), which is a cost-sharing multiple employer public employee retirement system (PERS).
TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement and survivors benefits for its members in accordance with State statute. A member is eligible for service retirement after 30 years of service, regardless of age, or after 10 years ofservice and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service and attainment of age 55, at a reduced benefit. Retirement benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two consecutive highest paid years of service multiplied by the number ofyears of creditable service up to 40 years. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life. Options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension at a reduced rate to a designated beneficiary on the member's death.
Retirement benefits also include disability and death benefits. A disabled member or surviving spouse is entitled to receive annually an amount equal to the member's service retirement benefit or disability retirement, whichever is greater. The death benefit is the amount that would be payable to the member's beneficiary had the member retired on the date of death on either a service retirement allowance or a disability retirement allowance, whichever is larger. The benefit is based on the member's creditable service (minimum of 10 years of service) and compensation up to the time of disability or death.
Members become fully vested after ten years of service. If a member terminates with less than ten years of service, no vesting of employee contributions occurs, but the member's contributions are refunded with interest.

Note 7: RETIREMENT PLANS
The Library's payroll for employees covered by TRS for the year ended June 30, 1996, was $335,977.13; total payroll was $358,609.49.
TRS CONTRmUTIONS REQUIRED AND MADE Employees of the Library who are covered by TRS are required by State statute to pay 5% of their gross earnings to TRS. The Library makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board ofTrustees in accordance with State statute and as advised by their independent actuary. At June 30, 1996, the TRS Library employer contribution rate was 11.81%. The interest rate assumption (rate ofreturn on investments) was 7.50%.
Total contributions made during fiscal year 1996 amounted to $56,477.90, of which $39,678.82 was made by the Library and $16,799.08 was made by employees. These contributions represented 11.81% (Library) and 5% (employees) ofcovered payroll.
TRS FUNDING STATUS AND PROGRESS The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized measurement established by Statement No.5 ofthe Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that, with some exceptions, must be used by a PERS. The standardized measurement is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits. This valuation method reflects the present value of estimated pension benefits that will be paid in future years as a result of employee services performed to date, and is adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases. A standardized measure of the pension benefit obligation was adopted by the GASB to enable readers of PERS financial statements to assess that PERS funding status on a going-concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among other PERS and among other employers.
Total unfunded pension benefit obligation ofTRS as ofJune 30, 1995, was as follows:
Total pension benefit obligation
$ 17,442,607,000.00
Net assets available for benefits, at cost
15,857,066,000.00
Unfunded pension benefit obligation
$ 1.585.541.000 00
The measurement ofthe total pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as ofJune 30, 1995. Net assets available to pay pension benefits were valued as of the same date. TRS does not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit obligation for individual employers.
Total contributions from all employers to TRS for fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, were $607,275,000.00. The Library's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1996, of $39,678.82 was actuarially determined and represented .0065% oftotal contributions made by all participating employers.

The audit report for the yearended June 30, 1995, noted that the management of the Okefenokee 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 of the 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 of a General Fixed Assets Account Group. These subsidiary records should include an inventory ofland, buildings, equipment and inexhaustible collections of 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 to and deletions from the General Fixed Assets Account Group.
