INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S COMBINED REPORT ON REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements (Ex.hibits A through F) of Chattahoochee Technical Institute as of and for the year ended June 30, 1996, 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 Chattahoochee 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 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 1 through 3) is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been 
96ARL-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, 
~~

 CHATTAHOOCHEE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
JUNE 30, 1996 
 
EXIllBIT "F" 
 
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
REPORTING ENTITY Chattahoochee Technical Institute is one of twenty-nine (29) 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 Chattahoochee Technical Institute as a separate reporting entity. 
The Institute's Local Board of Directors is composed of eleven (11) 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 Chattahoochee Technical Institute. The Institute does not have authority to retain unexpended State funds (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Chattahoochee Technical Institute is considered an organizational unit of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education for financial reporting purposes because ofthe significance of its 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 Chattahoochee 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 of the State of Georgia. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a selfbalancing set ofaccounts. 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 offunds 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 1995-1996. 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 defined 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 1: 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-term 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. With 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 prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, the Budget Fund returns its unreserved fund balance (surplus) to the Administrative Central Office ofthe Department of Technical 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 of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis ofaccounting, revenues are recogmzed when susceptible to accrual (Le., when they are "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 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 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING GOVERNMENTAL FUND TYPE BUDGET FUND 
Contractual obligations for goods and services which have not been received 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 ofencumbrances as expenditures and liabilities is in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by statutes and regulations of the State of Georgia, but is not consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, which provide for the recording of encumbrances 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 permitted by statutes and regulations ofthe State of Georgia, 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.

Benefits ofage shall receive a benefit which is reduced by the lessor of 1/12 of 7% for each month the member is below age 60, or by 1O!cl for each year or fraction thereofby which the member has less than 30 years of service. The nonna! retirement pension is payable monthly for life. Options are available for distribution of the 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 10 years of service) and compensation up to the date of death or up to the time of disability. 
Members become fully vested after ten years of service. If a member terminates with less than ten years of service, no vesting ofemployer contributions 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 of Trustees as advised by their independent actuary. For fiscal year 1996, 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 1996 amounted to $717,259.87, of which $503,912.49 was made by the Institute and $213,347.38 was made by employees. These contributions represented 11.81% (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 of credited 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 of the 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 of June 30, 1995, which was the latest information available, was as follows:

Benefits a reduced benefit. Additionally, there are certain provisions allowing for retirement after 30 years of service regardless of age. 
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. 
Contributions Required and Contributions Made As established by State statute, all full-time employees ofthe State of Georgia and its political subdivisions, who are not members ofother state retirement systems, are eligible to participate in the ERS. Both employer and employee contributions are established by State statute. 
Under the old plan, member contributions consist of employee contributions paid by the employee of 1.25% ofcompensation and 4.75% ofcompensation paid by the Institute on behalf of the employee. Under the new plan, member contributions consist solely of 1.25% of compensation paid by employee. The Institute also is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll determined annually by actuarial valuation. For the year ended June 30, 1996, the ERS employer contribution rate for the Institute amounted to 14.890,10 ofcovered payroll and included the 4.75% contributed on behalfofthe employee under the old plan referred to above. The employer contributions are projected to liquidate the unfunded actuarial liability within 20 years based upon the actuarial valuation of June 30, 1995. Employer contributions are also made on amounts paid for accumulated leave to retiring employees. 
Actuarial assumptions used by the ERS to compute actuarially determined contribution requirements are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit obligation. 
Total contributions to the plan made during fiscal year 1996 amounted to $22,253.91, of which $20,523.35 was made by the Institute and $1,730.56 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.

FEDERAL FINANCIAL REPORTS Failure to Submit Institutional Payment Summary Report Federal Financial Assistance Pell Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) Audit Control Number 827-96-01 
 
The review report for the year ended June 30, 1995, noted that Chattahoochee Technical Institute failed to submit an Institutional Payment Summary (IPS) report during one specified reporting period as required by regulations set forth in The Blue Book ofthe U. S. Department ofEducation. 
 
For the year. under review, Chattahoochee Technical Institute again failed to submit IPS reports for the required reporting periods of July 1, 1995 - October 15, 1995 and October 16, 1995 - December 15, 1995. Management claims that this condition was the result ofan oversight by the Financial Aid office. The Institute should implement procedures to ensure that all IPS reports are submitted in accordance with Federal reporting requirements.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS Lack of Administrative Capability Federal Financial Assistance Pell Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) Audit Control Number 827-96-02 
 
For the year under review, our tests ofthe internal control structure for administering the Pell Grant program indicated that the Institute has a lack of administrative capability based on the standards in 34 CFR 668. 16. Federal regulations 'require that the Institute administer the Pell Grant program with adequate checks and balances in its system of internal controls. We noted deficiencies in the following control categories:

(1) Federal Financial Reports (2) Types of Services!Allowed or Unallowed (3) Eligibility 
This condition resulted from the failure of management of Chattahoochee Technical Institute to provide an adequate system ofinternal controls for the Pell Grant program. Appropriate controls should be implemented and monitored by the Institute to ensure that the Pen Grant program is in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations. 
FEDERAL FINANCIAL REPORTS Incorrect Student Payment Summary -Report Federal Financial Assistance Pen Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) Audit Control Number 827-96-03 
For the year under review, the Student Payment Summary (SPS) report for the U. S. Department of Education indicated that the Institute incurred $549,454.00 in Federal Pen Grant program expenditures. This amount represented the Institute's authorized amount ofthe Federal Pen Grant award for fiscal year 1996. However, the Institute's accounting records reflected $562,402.75 in fiscal year 1996 Pell Grant payments or. $12,948.75 in excess ofthe authorized amount. In order to be reimbursed for the excess Pen Grant program expenditures, the Institute in conformity with Federal Statutes, must certify to the U. S. Department ofEducation the validity of these payments. The Federal agency can then make appropriate adjustments of the fiscal year 1996 authorized amount in order to make additional funds available to the Institute. 
TYPES OF SERVICES/ALLOWED OR UNALLOWED Award not Properly Calculated Federal Financial Assistance Pen Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) Questioned Costs: $484.00 Audit Control Number 827-96-04 
For the year under review, an examination of the records of twenty-five students who received Pen Grants revealed that one student was overpaid a total of$484.00. Federal regulation (34 CFR 690.62) states that the _ amount ofa student's Pell Grant for an academic year is based upon the payment and disbursement schedules published each award year by the U. S. Department of Education. The financial aid office awarded the overpayment to the student based on an incorrect expected family contribution.

CURRENT YEAR TYPES OF SERVICES/ALLOWED OR UNALLOWED Award not Properly Calculated Federal Financial Assistance Pell Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) Questioned Costs: $484.00 Audit Control Number 827-96-04 The Institute should establish procedures to ensure that financial aid awards are made in accordance with appropriate Federal regulations. Reimbursement of$484.00 should be secured for refund to the Pell Grant program. ELIGffiILITY Ineligible Student Receiving Student Aid Federal Financial Assistance Pell Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) Questioned Costs: $146.00 Audit Control Number 827-96-05 For the year under review, an examination of the records of twenty-five students who received Pell Grants revealed that one student was overpaid a total of$146.00. Federal regulations (34 CFR 668.7,668.16 and 690.75) state that a student should maintain satisfactory academic progress to be eligible to receive a Pell Grant payment. The overpayment to the student was for the 1996 Spring quarter for which the student had become ineligible due to not maintaining satisfactory academic progress in accordance with the Institute's policy. This questioned cost occurred because the financial aid office failed to adequately monitor the student's academic progress. The Institute should establish procedures to ensure that financial aid awards are made in accordance with appropriate Federal regulations. Reimbursement of$146.00 should be secured for refund to the Pell Grant program.
