INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S COMBINED REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements (Exhibits A through F) of Athens Area Technical Institute as of and for the year ended June 30, 1994, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. As described in Note 1, these financial statements were prepared on a prescribed basis of accounting that demonstrates compliance with the budgetary statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Athens Area Technical Institute.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Institute personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Our review was made for the purpose ofexpressing limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with the basis of accounting described in Note 1. The accompanying supplementary information (Exhibits G through J and Schedules 1 through 3) is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been

94ARL-4T

subjected to the inquiries and analytical procedures applied in the review ofthe financial statements, and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto.
Respectfully submitted,
~/~

ATHENS AREA TECHNICAL INSTITUTE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1994

EXHIBIT "F't

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY Athens Area Technical Institute is one of twenty-eight (28) State supported member institutes of postsecondary education in Georgia which comprise the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Athens Area Technical Institute as a separate reporting entity.
The Institute's Local Board of Directors is composed of fourteen (14) members serving staggered three-year terms who are appointed by the State Board of Technical and Adult Education. Appropriation of State funds is made to the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education by the General Assembly of Georgia. The Department's Administrative Central Office determines the amount of State funds to be received by Athens Area Technical Institute. The Institute does not have authority to retain unexpended State funds (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Athens Area Technical Institute is considered an organizational unit of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education for financial reporting purposes because of the significance ofits legal, operational, and financial relationships as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
FUND ACCOUNTING Athens Area Technical Institute uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results of its operations determined in conformity with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State ofGeorgia. 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, on the other hand, 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 net expendable available financial resources.
Funds and account groups presented in the accompanying financial statements are as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE
BUDGET FUND - The fund used to account for activities and functions as set forth in the Amended Appropriations Act of 1993-1994. This fund also includes operations from various institutional services provided to students, faculty, and/or staff which are funded by fees charged to participants that are directly related to, but not necessarily equal to, the cost of service. The Budget Fund is similar in nature to a General Fund as identified in generally accepted accounting principles in that the Budget Fund is used to account for all activities except those required to be accounted for in some other fund.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE
AGENCY FUNDS - The funds used to account for assets held for use by other funds, governments, or individuals.

ATHENS AREA TECHNICAL INSTITUTE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATE:MENTS
JUNE 30, 1994

EXHIBIT "F"

NOTE I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FUND ACCOUNTING
ACCOUNT GROUPS
GENERAL FIXED ASSETS - The account group used to account for fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations. Fixed assets purchased are recorded at historical cost. Donated fixed assets are recorded at fair market value on the date donated. Disposals are deleted at recorded values. No depreciation has been provided on general fixed assets.
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT - The account group used to report the noncurrent portions of certain governmental long-term liabilities, such as claims, judgments, and compensated absences, which will be paid from future resources.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING :MEASURE:MENTFOCUS
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. Governmental funds should be accounted for using the current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements ofthese funds present increases (i.e., revenues) and decreases (i.e.,expenditures) in net current assets.
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGET FUND
Except as disclosed in the following paragraphs, units of government of the State of Georgia record their Budget Fund revenues and expenditures in accordance with the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis ofaccounting, 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. Revenues that are accrued include primarily State funds, Federal grants and entitlements, and certain amounts earned under operating agreements with other parties. Further, the modified accrual basis ofaccounting calls for expenditures, other than accrued interest of general long-term debt, to be recorded when the related fund liability is incurred.
Contractual obligations for services which have not been performed and for goods which have not been delivered at the end of the fiscal year are recognized as expenditures and liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. This accounting practice causes expenditure-driven grant revenues to be accrued based in part on the unexecuted portion of contracts for goods and services. The recognition of encumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State of Georgia, but is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, which provide for the recording of encumbrances as a reservation of fund balance. Further, revenue recognition for expenditure-driven grants should be based upon expenditures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The appropriated budget is adopted at the departmental level and represents appropriations provided by the Amended Appropriations Act of 1993-1994. The budget allocation and disbursement of these funds is made to the various technical institutes by the Administrative Central Office. In addition, the technical institutes receive certain Federal funds and other funds directly and include these funds in the budget filed with the Administrative Central Office.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and Cash Equivalents include currency on hand and demand deposits with banks and other authorized financial institutions. Cash and Cash Equivalents also include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturity dates within three months of the date acquired.

RESERVED FUND BALANCE
FEDERAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE EXPIRED GRANT BALANCES
Expired grant balances represent the unexpended balance ofFederal financial assistance, other than through the Administrative Central Office, remaining after the expiration of the Federal program/project. This amount is refundable to the applicable grantor.
LIVE WORK PROJECTS The accumulated balance of unexpended funds derived from student live work projects. This amount is restricted to expenditures for live work projects in subsequent fiscal years.
PRIOR YEAR LOCAL FUNDS Effective July 1, 1987, Athens Area Technical Institute became a part of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 20-4-23 provides the Institute may retain for future operations "...any unexpended nonstate funds that have been collected by, appropriated for, or otherwise earmarked for use by said postsecondary technical school operated by a local board of education or an area board... ". These unexpended local funds are available for use in subsequent fiscal years.
COMPENSATED ABSENCES Compensated absences represent obligations of the Institute relating to employees' rights to receive compensation for future absences based upon services already rendered. This obligation relates only to vesting accumulated annual leave in which payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No liability has been recorded in the Budget Fund for the current portion ofthis obligation as this amount will not be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Funds are provided in the allotment of State funds each year to the Institute to cover the cost of annual leave paid to terminated employees.
The liability for compensated absences at year-end is reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group for governmental funds.

At June 30, 1994, Athens Area Technical Institute had $7,082.58 in student accounts receivable for tuition and fees which were not supported by approved financial aid at the time of registration. All students attending technical institutes or participating in programs and services provided by these technical institutes are required to pay a fee for such programs and services. Approximately $6,699.08 of the student accounts receivable is overdue from prior years and the remainder occurred during the year under review.

Deferring payment of tuition and fees without approved financial aid is beyond the authority granted to the Institute by the Administrative Central Office of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education. The Institute should initiate extensive collection procedures in an effort to collect all amounts due to the Institute.

(2) Items requiring adjustment on the accounting records disclosed through the bank reconciliation process were carried as reconciling items for extended periods oftime.
(3) There was no administrative review to determine that bank reconciliations were correct and that all required adjustments had been made.
(4) It was noted that the monthly bank statements for all bank accounts were not reconciled to the general ledger in a timely manner.
The Institute should implement appropriate procedures and controls to ensure that all bank statements are reconciled to the general ledger on a timely basis and that all reconciling items are identified and corrected promptly.
