Independent Accountant's Report on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by the Atlanta Technical College (Technical College) and the System Office (Oversight Unit) of the Technical College System of Georgia, solely to assist you in assessing the accuracy of the annual financial statement information reported to the System Office by the Technical College for inclusion in the State of Georgia's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and Single Audit Report; and to assist you in assessing the accuracy of budget basis information provided in the Summary Budget Comparison and Surplus Analysis Report, Statement of Funds Available and Expenditures Compared to Budget By Program and Funding Source, and the Statement of Changes To Fund Balance By Program and Funding Source which are attached as Exhibits A, B and C, respectively. Atlanta Technical College's management is responsible for the financial information reported to the System Office of the Technical College System of Georgia. This agreed-upon procedures engagement was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the parties specified in this report. Consequently, we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.
1. Review selected balance sheet items reported on the annual financial statement worksheets (cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unearned revenues, net position). Confirm that these items have adequate supporting documentation and are properly reconciled to the Technical College's general ledger.
We did not note any exceptions as a result of our procedures.
2.

The Cash note disclosure was not properly reported. Depository insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was reported as $500,000.00 in the note disclosure; however, the depository insurance provided by the FDIC should have been reported as $297,253.62, resulting in an improper variance of $202,746.38 between risk categories in the financial statement note disclosure.

We did not note any exceptions as a result of our procedures.
These agreed-upon procedures do not constitute an audit of the financial statements or any part thereof, the objective of which is to express an opinion on the financial statements or a part thereof. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Had we performed additional procedures, other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
