Honorable Zell Miller, Governor Members ofthe General Assembly Members of the State Board of Technical and Adult Education
and Director and Members of the Satilla 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 Satilla 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 Satilla 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 financial 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Satilla 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 of the Satilla 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 ofthe general-purpose financial 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 general-purpose fmancial 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
Re2Y available to the press of the State, as provided for by Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-6-24. submitted,

CLV:gp 97ARL-42

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30,1997

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Satilla Regional Library (Library) operates pursuant to Official Code of Georgia Annotated Sections 205-40 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 eight members; two members appointed by Atkinson County Library Board, four members appointed by Coffee County Library Board and two members appointed by Jeff Davis 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 t6 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 Satilla 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 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 fmancial 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 ACCOUNTINGPOLICIES
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 capital lease obligations not appropriately accounted for and recorded in other fund types.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and [mancial reporting treatment applied to a fund is detennined 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-Tenn Debt Account Group.
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.

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 1997

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUDGET
The Satilla 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 function level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The budget process begins when the Library's administration receives funding approval from all local funding agencies. The Library's administration prepares a tentative aggregated budget for the Board's approval. The budget is then submitted to the Department of Technical and Adult Education Office of Public Library Services 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.
INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS
The Library has the following type 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.
MEMORANDUM ONLY - TOTAL COLUMNS
Total columns on the general pwpose fmancial 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 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 of this data.
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

Note 2: DEPOSITS
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 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 of indebtedness or other direct obligations of the United States or of the 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 ofany 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.
CATEGORIZATION OF DEPOSITS At June 30, 1997, the bank balances were $127,270.11. The amounts ofthe total bank balances are classified into three categories of credit risk:
Category 1 - Cash that is insured (e.g., Federal depository insurance) or collateralized with securities held by the Library or by the Library's agent in the Library's name.
Category 2 - Cash collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the Library's name.

Note 3: RISK MANAGEMENT

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; 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 same fund that the employee's salary and benefits were paid. Claims are accounted for 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.

Changes in the unemployment compensation claims liability during the last two fiscal years are as follows:

CAPITAL LEASES The Satilla Regional Library has entered into a lease agreement as lessee for a copier. This lease agreement qualifies as a capital lease for accounting purposes and, therefore, has been recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments as of the date of its inception.

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.

SECTIONll FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

SATILLA REGIONAL LIBRARY SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
PIDOR YEAWCURRENT YEAR
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Inadequate Separation of Duties Finding Control Number 6342-93-03
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1996, stated that the Satilla Regional Library did not provide for adequate separation of employee duties in the performance of accounting functions and related procedures ofcash and cash equivalents. In the year under review, our audit noted some improvement regarding adequate separation of employee duties, but still did not achieve an adequate degree of internal control as follows:
The cash receipts function was not separated from maintenance of the General Ledger.
Control procedures are established for the purpose ofproviding management with reasonable assurance that the objectives of the entity are achieved. Lack of control procedures leaves the integrity of the accounting system in question. Management should periodically review employee duties in an attempt to improve internal control through the distribution of responsibilities among various employees.
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Finding Control Number 6342-93-04
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1996, noted that Satilla Regional Library did not maintain a system-wide General Fixed Assets Account Group within the formal accounting records. In the year under review, the Library failed to 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 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.
