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 Augusta Technical Institute as of and for the year ended June 30, 1995, 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 Augusta Technical Institute_ 
A review consists principally ofinquiries ofInstitute 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 ofany 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 I through 5) is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes_ Such information has been 
 
95ARL-4T 
 
 subjected to the inquiries and analytical procedures applied in the review of the financial statements, and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto. 
Respectfully submitted,

NOTE l: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
REPORTING ENTITY Augusta Technical Institute is one oftwenty-nine (29) State supported member institutes of postsecondary education in Georgia which comprise the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, an organiz.at:ional unit ofthe State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Augusta Technical Institute as a separate reporting entity. 
The Institute's Local Board ofDirectors is composed of eleven (11) members serving staggered three-year terms who are appointed by the State Board ofTechnical and Adult Education. Appropriation of State funds is made to the Georgia Department ofTechnical 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 Augusta Technical Institute. The Institute does not have authority to retain unexpended State funds (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Augusta Technical Institute is considered an organizational unit ofthe 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 Augusta Technical Institute uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results ofits operations determined in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State ofGeorgia. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds are maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Account groups are a reporting device used to account for certain assets and liabilities of the governmental funds not recorded directly in those funds. 
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 1994-1995. This fund also includes operations from various institutional services provided to students, faculty, and/or staffwhich 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.

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 cost or at estimated historical cost ifhistorical cost is not practically determinable. 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. 
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. Material improvements adding to the value or useful life ofthe assets are included in the General Fixed Assets Account Group. 
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT - The account group used to report the noncurrent portions of certain governmental long-tenn liabilities, such as claims, judgments, and compensated absences, which will be paid from future resources. 
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING MEASUREMENT FOCUS 
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. Governmental funds should be accounted for using the flow of current financial resources measurement focus. Wrth this measurement focus, operating statements present increases and decreases in net current assets and unreserved fund balance is a measure of available spendable resources. In accordance with accounting practices prescnbed or pennitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State of Georgia, the Budget Fund returns its unreseived fund balance (swplus) to the Administrative Central Office of the Department ofTechnical and Adult Education for remittance to the Office of Treasury and Fiscal Services in the subsequent fiscal year. 
GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGETFUND 
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 ofaccounting. Under the modified accrual basis ofaccounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are "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 pay liabilities ofthe current period. Revenues that are accrued include primarily State funds, Federal grants and entitlements, and certain amounts earned under operating agreements with other parties. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due, and certain compensated absences, claims and judgments which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources.

NOTE l: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGETFUND 
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 ~ on the unexecuted portion ofcontracts 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 ofGeorgia, but is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, which provide for the recording ofencumbrances as a reservation offund balance. Further, revenue recognition for expenditure-driven grants should be based upon expenditures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Contractual terms ofcertain Federal grant agreements received by the Institute for vocational training services require that grant funds earned be recorded as Federal revenues rather than as revenues from tuition and fees. Accordingly, it is the Institute's policy to record certain Federal grant funds as Federal revenues and also as other revenues retained with offsetting expenditures for student expenses charged to the other operating expenses expenditure account. This accounting policy results in an overstatement of both revenues and expenditures in the financial statements for such Federal grants. This policy is in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or pennitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State ofGeorgia, but is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. 
Prior period adjustments and certain other items are reported as additions to and deductions from fund balance of the Budget Fund in the accompanying financial statements. This presentation is in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State of Georgia, but differs from generally accepted accounting principles in that immaterial adjustments should be reported as current period revenues and expenditures. 
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPE AGENCY FUNDS 
Agency Funds are custodial in nature and do not measure results ofoperations or have a measurement focus. The modified accrual basis of accounting is utilized for recognizing assets and liabilities. 
. BUDGET The Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education - Administrative Central Office receives State appropriation allotments and certain Federal funds for the various technical institutes throughout the State. The appropriated budget is adopted at the departmental level and represents appropriations provided by the Amended Appropriations Act of 1994-1995. The budget allocation and disbursement ofthese 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.

NOTE 5: RISK MANAGEMENT 
Public Entity Risk Pool The State Personnel Board - Merit System ofPersonnel Administration internally administers for the State of Georgia a program of health benefits for the employees of units ofgovernment ofthe State of Georgia and units of county governments and local education agencies located with the State of Georgia. This plan is funded by participants covered in the plan, by employers' contnbutions paid by the various units ofgovernment participating in the plan, and appropriations made by the General Assembly ofGeorgia. The State Personnel Board - Merit System ofPersonnel Administration has contracted with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia to process claims in accordance with the State Employees' Health Benefit Plan as established by the State Personnel Board. 
Other Risk Management The Department ofAdministrative Services (DOAS) has the responsibility for the State of Georgia of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects of accidental losses that involve State government assets. The State believes it is more economical to manage its risks internally and set aside assets for claim settlement. Accordingly, DOAS services claims for risk of loss to which the State is exposed, including general liability, property and casualty, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, and law enforcement officers' indemnification. Limited amounts ofcommercial insurance are purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. The Institute, as an organizational unit of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, is part of the State of Georgia reporting entity, and as such, is covered by the State of Georgia risk management program administered by DOAS. Premiums for the risk management program are charged to the state agencies by DOAS to provide claims servicing and claims payment. 
NOTE 6: DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
The State ofGeorgia offers its employees a deferred compensation plan in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to employees ofthe State ofGeorgia and county health departments, pennits such employees to defer a portion oftheir salaiy until future years. Participation in the plan is optional. Participants choose the option or options in which they wish to participate. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property or rights of the State of Georgia subject only to the claims of the State's general creditors. Participant's rights under the plan are equal to those of a general creditor of the State of Georgia in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account of each participant. Financial infonnation relative to the plan is presented in the financial report ofthe State Personnel Board - Merit System ofPersonnel Administration for the year ended June 30, 1995.

TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 
Plan Description Augusta Technical Institute participates in the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer public employee retirement system (PERS) established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement allowances and other benefits for teachers of the State ofGeorgia. The Institute's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1995, for employees covered by TRS was $4,849,542.92. The Institute's total payroll for all employees was $7,736,441.83. 
Benefits TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members. A member is eligible for service retirement after the member (1) has attained the age of60 years and has at least ten years ofcreditable service, (2) has at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless ofage, or (3) has attained the age of55 years and has at least 25 years ofcreditable service. For those members with 30 years of service or those age 60 with at least ten years of service, retirement benefits are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two consecutive highest paid years ofservice multiplied by the number ofyears ofcreditable service up to 40 years. Any member who has between 25 and 30 years ofcreditable service and is at least 55 years 
ofage shall receive a benefit which is reduced by the lessor of 1/12 of7% for each month the member is below age 60, or by 7% for each year or fraction thereofby which the member has less than 30 years of service. The nonnal retirement pension is payable monthly for life. Options are available for distribution ofthe member's monthly pension at a reduced rate to a designated beneficiary on the member's death. 
Retirement benefits also include death and disability benefits whereby the 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 benefit is based on member's creditable service (minimum of l Oyears of service) and compensation up to the date ofdeath or up to the time ofdisability. 
Members become fully vested after ten years of service. If a member terminates with less than ten years of service, no vesting ofemployer contnbutions occurs, but the member's contributions are refunded with interest. 
Contributions Required and Contributions Made Employees ofthe Institute who are covered by TRS are required to pay 5% oftheir gross earnings to TRS. The Institute makes monthly employer contributions to TRS at rates adopted by the TRS Board ofTrustees 
as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 1995, the employer contribution rate was 11.81% for covered employees. The interest rate assumption (rate of return on investments) was 7.50%. 
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 1995 amounted to $815,208.23, ofwhich $572,730.95 
was made by the Institute and $242,477.28 was made by employees. These contributions represented I 1.81% 
(Institute) and 5% (employees) ofcovered payroll.

Funding Status and Progress Pension Benefit Obligation 
The amount of the total pension benefit obligation is based on a standardized measurement established by Statement No. 5 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) that is required to be used for reporting purposes. The standardized measurement is the actuarial present value ofcredited projected benefits. This pension 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 and any step-rate benefits. A standardized measure of the pension benefit obligation was adopted by the GASB to enable readers ofthe 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 similar PERS. 
 
The total unfunded pension benefit obligation ofTRS as ofJune 30, 1994, which was the latest information available, was as follows: 
 
Total pension benefit obligation 
 
$15,313,743,000.00 
 
Net assets available for benefits, at cost 
 
14,254,785,000.00 
 
Unfunded pension benefit obligation 
 
$ 1,058,958 000,00 
 
The measurement ofthe total pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as ofJune 30, 1994. Net assets available for benefits were valued as ofthe same date. TRS does not make separate measurements ofassets and pension benefit obligation for individual employers. 
 
Retirement System Contributions Total contnbutions from all employers to TRS for the year ended June 30, 1995, were $565,117,811.00. The Institute's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1995, of $572,730.95 was actuarially determined and represented .1013% oftotal contributions made by all participating employers. 
 
Trend Information Historical trend information is presented in the financial report ofTRS for the year ended June 30, 1995. This information gives an indication of the progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits when 
due.

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 
Plan Description providing retirement allowances for employees of the State ofGeorgia. The Institute's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1995, for employees covered by ERS was $1,491,292.53. The Institute's total payroll for all employees was $7,736,441.83. 
Benefits The benefit structure of ERS was significantly modified on July 1, 1982. Unless elected otherwise, an employee who currently maintains membership with ERS based upon State employment that started prior to 
July 1, 1982, is an "old plan" member subject to the plan provisions in effect prior to July 1, 1982. All other members are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions. 
Members become vested after 10 years of creditable service. A member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment ofage 65. Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula which considers the monthly average of the member's highest eight consecutive calendar quarters of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Postretirement cost-of-living adjustments are also made to member's benefits. The normal retirement pension is payable monthly for life; however, options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension at reduced rates to a designated beneficiary upon the member's death. Death and disability benefits are also available through ERS. If 10 years of service is completed and age 60 is reached, the member may retire with a reduced benefit. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 30 years of service regardless ofage. 
Contributions Required and Contributions Made Under the old plan, member contributions consist ofemployee contributions paid by the employee of 1.25% ofannual compensation and 4.75% ofannual compensation paid by the Institute on behalfofthe employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.25% of annual compensation paid by employee. The Institute also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. Contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave of retiring employees.

The amount shown as the "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure of the present value ofpension benefits, adjusted for the effects ofprojected salary increases and step-rate benefits, estimated to be payable in the future as a result ofemployee service to date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding status ofERS on the going-concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets

to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among employers. The measure is the actuarial present value ofcredited projected benefits, and is independent ofthe funding method used to determine contributions to the plan. 
 
The pension benefit obligation was computed as part of an actuarial valuation performed as ofJune 30, 1994. Significant actuarial assumptions used in the valuation include the following: 
 
(I) The present value offuture pension benefits paid was computed using a discounted rate of7.5%. This rate is also the same rate assumed to be earned on investments in the plan in future years. 
 
(2) Future pension payments reflect the following assumed salary increases as a result ofinflation and merit increases:

(3) ERS has the authority to grant cost-of-living adjustments by State statute. As ofJune 30, 1994, cost-of-living adjustments have been included in the pension benefit obligation. 
 
The total unfunded pension benefit obligation ofERS as ofJune 30, 1994, which was the latest information available, was as follows:

The measurement ofthe total pension benefit obligation is based on an actuarial valuation as ofJune 30, 1994. Net assets available for benefits were valued as ofthe same date. ERS does not make separate measurements ofassets and pension benefit obligation for individual employers. 
 
Funding Policy The ERS funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined rates that, expressed as percentages ofannual payroll, are sufficient to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Level percentage of payroll employer contribution rates are determined using the entry age funding method. ERS also uses the level percentage of payroll method to amortize the unfunded liability within approximately 20 years following the valuation date. 
 
Total contributions from all employers to ERS for the year ended June 30, 1995, were $256,624,679.00. The Institute's contribution for the year ended June 30, 1995, of $222,053.46 was actuarially determined and represented .0865% oftotal contributions made by all participating employers.

GEORGIA DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN 
Plan Description Augusta Technical Institute participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a singleemployer defined contribution plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia in July 1993 for the purpose ofproviding retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members ofa public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Board of Trustees ofthe Employees' Retirement System of Georgia. The Institute's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1995, for employees covered by GDCP was $1,133,768.46. The lnstitute's total payroll for all employees was $7,736,441.83. 
Benefits 
A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment ofage 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board ofTrustees. If a member has less than$ 3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board ofTrustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu ofmaking periodic payments. Upon the death ofa member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary. 
Contributions and Vesting Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon tennination ofemployment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member. 
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 1995 amounted to $85,033.46 which represents 7.5% ofcovered payroll. These contributions met the requirements ofthe plan.

The review report for the year ended June 30, 1994, disclosed instances where two items of equipment were physically located, but were not recorded on the equipment inventory records.

REVENUE/RECEIVABLES/RECEIPTS Inadequate Accounting Control Procedures Financial Statements Audit Control Number 824-95-02 
 
The review reports for the years ended June 30, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994, disclosed numerous accounting control deficiencies with the "Other" accounts receivable category shown on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis). For the year under review, the accounts receivable procedures were again deficient as indicated below: 
 
(I) As of June 30, 1995, the "Other" accounts receivable category shown on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis) included $295.00 in student receivables outstanding from fiscal year 1994, $277.91 in student receivables outstanding from fiscal year 1993, $1,783.65 in student receivables outstanding from fiscal year 1992, $2,551.46 in student receivables outstanding from fiscal year 1991, and $23,665.30 in student receivables outstanding from fiscal year 1990.

PRIOR YEAR/CURRENT YEAR 
REVENUE/RECEIVABLES/RECEIPTS Inadequate Accounting Control Procedures Financial Statements Audit Control Number 824-95-02 
Tests ofthe underlying documentation supporting these receivables disclosed numerous instances where supporting documentation was not adequate to determine if the amounts recorded were actually earned by the Institute. 
(2) As of June 30, 1995, the "Other" accounts receivable category shown on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis) included $8,869.61 in checks returned for insufficient funds. Included in this amount were $8,277.98 from fiscal year 1994 or earlier. 
(3) As of June 30, 1995 the "Other" accounts receivable category shown on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis) included $751.39 in accounts receivable for tuition and fees from fiscal year 1993 for which payment was deferred by the Institute under a "Tuition Work Assistance Agreement" to enroll and attend classes at the Institute. Under this agreement, students were allowed to enroll and attend classes in exchange for work for the Institute. The "Tuition Work Assistance" policy was discontinued as ofJune 30, 1993. 
(4) As of June 30, 1995 the "Other" accounts receivable category shown on the Combined Balance Sheet (Statutory Basis) included $2,330.59 in accounts receivable for tuition and fees for which payment was deferred by the Institute. These deferments were a result of the Institute's approving a number of students for Pell Grants only later to find out the students were ineligible. 
Deferring payment oftuition and fees without approved financial aid is beyond the authority granted to the Institute by the Administrative Central Office ofthe Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education. This practice by the Institute should be discontinued. 
The Institute should initiate collection procedures in an effort to collect all amounts due to the Institute. Furthermore, the Institute should review all delinquent student accounts receivable to determine ifthe amounts accurately reflect amounts owed to the Institute.
