Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia
and Director and Members of the Statesboro Regional Library Board
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying generalpurpose financial statements ofthe Statesboro Regional Library, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility ofthe Statesboro 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 ofAmerica. 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.
2000ARL-42A

The aggregate effects on the general purpose financial statements ofthis variance or omission have not been determined, but are 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 Statesboro Regional Library as of June 30, 2000, 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 Statesboro 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 ofthe Statesboro 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,


RWH:gp 2000ARL-42A

NOTES TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2000

Note 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
The Statesboro Regional Library (Library) operates pursuant to Official Code ofGeorgia 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 ofGeorgia. With the exception ofthe 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 ten members; two members appointed from Bryan County Library Board, two members appointed from Bulloch County Library Board, two members appointed from Candler County Library Board, two members appointed from Emanuel County Library Board and two members appointed from Evans 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 ofGeorgia 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 and other funds for continued operations and is the lowest level of oversight responsibility for the Library's operations. The Statesboro Regional Library is therefore determined to be a joint venture.

FUND ACCOUNTING
The Library uses funds 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.
General Fixed Assets, which includes the Library's inexhaustible collections and books, are recorded as expenditures in the various funds at the time ofpurchase. 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.
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:

Note I: 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 (other than for major capital projects) 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.
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 fund used to account for assets held by a government unit in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals. This fund includes:
EXPENDABLE TRUST FUND ,. the fund used to account for financial resources to be used for the Deferred Compensation Plan for the employees of the Library.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental and expendable trust 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.
Governmental and expendable trust 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 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. Those revenues considered susceptible to accrual are intergovernmental grants and investment income.
Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.
BUDGET
The Statesboro 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 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 ofthis 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 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.
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 ofone 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 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 objective, given equivalent conditions of safety and liquidity. Funds may be invested in the following:
(1) Obligations issued by the State of Georgia or by other states,

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.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES
Compensated absences represent obligations ofthe 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. .
Additionally, the dollar value of accumulated compensated absences at June 30, which will be . payable from future resources has not been recorded in the General Long-Tenn Debt Account Group as this liability is also deemed to be immaterial to the fair presentation ofthese financial statements.

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 ofoperations 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..

SECTIONll FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS

STATESBORO REGIONAL LIBRARY SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2000
P~ORYE~CURRENTYEAR
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS Failure to Maintain General Fixed Assets Account Group Financial Statements Finding Control Number: 6162-93-01
The audit report for the year ended June 30, 1999, noted that the management of the Statesboro 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 ofland, 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.
