NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
Columbus Technical College is one of twenty-five (25) State supported member colleges of postsecondary education in Georgia which comprise the Technical College System of Georgia, an organizational unit of the State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Columbus Technical College as a separate reporting entity.
The Technical College's Local Board of Directors is composed of 7 (seven) members serving staggered three-year terms who are appointed by the State Board of the Technical College System of Georgia. Appropriation of State funds is made to the Technical College System of Georgia by the General Assembly of Georgia. The System Office of the Technical College System of Georgia determines the amount of State appropriations to be received by Columbus Technical College. The Technical College does not have authority to retain unexpended State appropriations (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Columbus Technical College is considered an organizational unit of the Technical College System of Georgia for financial reporting purposes because of the significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships as defined in Section 2100 of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards.
NET POSITION
The Technical College's net position is classified as follows:
Net investment in capital assets This amount represents the Technical College's total investment in capital assets, net of outstanding debt obligations, deferred outflows of resources, and deferred inflows of resources related to those capital assets. To the extent debt has been incurred or deferred inflows of resources have been received but not yet expended for capital assets, such amounts are not included as a component of the net investment in capital assets.
Unrestricted net position: Unrestricted net position represents available resources derived from student tuition and fees, state appropriations, and sales and services of educational departments. These resources will be used for transactions relating to the educational and general operations of the Technical College, and may be used at the discretion of the governing board to meet subsequent fiscal year expenses for those purposes, except for unexpended state appropriations (surplus) of $6,581.66. Unexpended state appropriations must be refunded to the Technical College System of Georgia for remittance to the Office of the State Treasurer.
When an expense is incurred that can be paid using either restricted or unrestricted resources, the Technical College's policy is to first apply the expense towards unrestricted resources, and then towards restricted resources.
NOTE 2: DEPOSITS
DEPOSITS
The custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the Technical College's deposits may not be recovered. Funds belonging to the State of Georgia (and thus the Technical College) cannot be placed in a depository paying interest longer than ten days without the depository providing a surety bond to the State. In lieu of a surety bond, the depository may pledge as collateral any one or more of the following securities as enumerated in the Official Code of Georgia Annotated Section 50-17-59:
1. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other direct obligations of the United
States or of the State of Georgia.
2. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of the counties or
municipalities of the State of Georgia.

3. Bonds of any public authority created by the laws of the State of Georgia, providing that the
statute that created the authority authorized the use of the bonds for this purpose.

4. Industrial revenue bonds and bonds of development authorities created by the laws of the
State of Georgia.

5. Bonds, bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes, or other obligations of a subsidiary
corporation of the United States government, which are fully guaranteed by the United States government both as to principal and interest, or debt obligations issued by the Federal Land Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank, the Central Bank for Cooperatives, the Farm Credit Banks, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association.

6. Guarantee or insurance of accounts provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

At June 30, 2013, the carrying value of deposits was $4,539,860.14 and the bank balance was $5,846,289.57. Of the Technical College's deposits, $5,494,795.14 were uninsured. Of these uninsured deposits, $5,494,795.14 were collateralized with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agency, but not in the Technical College's name.

COLUMBUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE SELECTED FINANCIAL NOTES JUNE 30, 2013

EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
The ERS System is comprised of individual retirement systems and plans covering substantially all employees of the State of Georgia except for teachers and other employees covered by the Teachers Retirement System of Georgia. One of the ERS System plans, the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia (ERS), is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that was established by the Georgia General Assembly during the 1949 Legislative Session for the purpose of providing retirement allowances for employees of the State of Georgia and its political subdivisions. ERS is directed by a Board of Trustees and has the powers and privileges of a corporation. ERS acts pursuant to statutory direction and guidelines, which may be amended prospectively for new hires but for existing members and beneficiaries may be amended in some aspects only subject to potential application of certain constitutional restraints against impairment of contract.
On November 20, 1997, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan (SRBP-ERS) of ERS. SRBP-ERS was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of ERS. The purpose of the SRBP-ERS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by ERS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning January 1, 1998, all members and retired former members in ERS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-ERS whenever their benefits under ERS exceed the limitation on benefits imposed by IRC Section 415.
The benefit structure of ERS is established by the Board of Trustees under statutory guidelines. Unless the employee elects 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. Members hired on or after July 1, 1982 but prior to January 1, 2009 are "new plan" members subject to the modified plan provisions. Effective January 1, 2009, newly hired State employees, as well as rehired State employees who did not maintain eligibility for the "old" or "new" plan, are members of the Georgia State Employees' Pension and Savings Plan (GSEPS). Members of the GSEPS plan may also participate in the GSEPS 401(k) defined contribution component described below. ERS members hired prior to January 1, 2009 also have the option to change their membership to the GSEPS plan.
Under the old plan, new plan, and GSEPS, a member may retire and receive normal retirement benefits after completion of 10 years of creditable service and attainment of age 60 or 30 years of creditable service regardless of age. Additionally, there are some provisions allowing for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service for members under age 60.
Retirement benefits paid to members are based upon a formula adopted by the Board of Trustees for such purpose. The formula considers the monthly average of the member's highest 24 consecutive calendar months of salary, the number of years of creditable service, and the member's age at retirement. Post-retirement cost-of-living adjustments may be made to members' benefits provided the members were hired prior to July 1, 2009. 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.
Member contribution rates are set by law. Member contributions under the old plan are 4% of annual compensation up to $4,200 plus 6% of annual compensation in excess of $4,200. Under the old plan, Columbus Technical College pays member contributions in excess of 1.25% of annual compensation. Under the old plan, these Columbus Technical College contributions are included in the members' accounts for refund purposes and are used in the computation of the members' earnable compensation for the purpose of computing retirement benefits. Member contributions under the new plan and GSEPS are 1.25% of annual compensation. Columbus Technical College is required to contribute at a specified percentage of active member payroll established by the Board of Trustees determined annually in accordance with actuarial valuation and minimum funding standards as provided by law. These Columbus Technical College contributions are not at any time refundable to the member or his/her beneficiary.

COLUMBUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE SELECTED FINANCIAL NOTES JUNE 30, 2013

Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2013 were based on the June 30, 2010 actuarial valuation as follows:

Old Plan* New Plan GSEPS

14.90% 14.90% 11.54%

* 10.15% exclusive of contributions paid by the employer on behalf of old plan members

Members become vested after 10 years of service. Upon termination of employment, member contributions with accumulated interest are refundable upon request by the member. However, if an otherwise vested member terminates and withdraws his/her member contributions, the member forfeits all rights to retirement benefits.
TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
The Teachers Retirement System of Georgia (TRS) is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit plan created in 1943 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly to provide retirement benefits for qualifying employees in educational service. A Board of Trustees comprised of active and retired members and ex-officio State employees is ultimately responsible for the administration of TRS.
On October 25, 1996, the Board created the Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan of the Georgia Teachers Retirement System (SRBP-TRS). SRBP-TRS was established as a qualified governmental excess benefit plan in accordance with Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as a portion of TRS. The purpose of SRBP-TRS is to provide retirement benefits to employees covered by TRS whose benefits are otherwise limited by IRC Section 415. Beginning July 1, 1997, all members and retired former members in TRS are eligible to participate in the SRBP-TRS whenever their benefits under TRS exceed the IRC Section 415 imposed limitation on benefits.
TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits. The benefit structure of TRS is defined and may be amended by State statute. A member is eligible for normal service retirement after 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or after 10 years of service and attainment of age 60. A member is eligible for early retirement after 25 years of creditable service.
Normal retirement (pension) benefits paid to members are equal to 2% of the average of the member's two highest paid consecutive years of service, multiplied by the number of years of creditable service up to 40 years. Early retirement benefits are reduced by the lesser of one-twelfth of 7% for each month the member is below age 60 or by 7% for each year or fraction thereof by which the member has less than 30 years of service. It is also assumed that certain cost-of-living adjustments, based on the Consumer Price Index, will be made in future years. Retirement benefits are payable monthly for life. A member may elect to receive a partial lump-sum distribution in addition to a reduced monthly retirement benefit. Options are available for distribution of the member's monthly pension, at a reduced rate, to a designated beneficiary on the member's death. Death, disability and spousal benefits are also available.
TRS is funded by member and employer contributions as adopted and amended by the Board of Trustees. Members become fully vested after 10 years of service. If a member terminates with less than 10 years of service, no vesting of employer contributions occurs, but the member's contributions may be refunded with interest. Member contributions are limited by State law to not less than 5% or more than 6% of a member's earnable compensation.
Member contributions as adopted by the Board of Trustees for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 were 6% of annual salary. Employer contributions required for fiscal year 2013 were 11.41% of annual salary as required by the June 30, 2010 actuarial valuation.

In addition to the ERS defined benefit pension described above, GSEPS members may also participate in the Peach State Reserves 401(k) defined contribution plan and receive an employer matching contribution. The 401(k) plan is administered by the System and was established by the Georgia Employee Benefit Plan Council in accordance with State law and Section 401(k) of the IRC. The GSEPS segment of the 401(k) plan was established by State law effective January 1, 2009. Plan provisions and contribution requirements specific to GSEPS can be amended by State law. Other general 401(k) plan provisions can be amended by the ERS Board of Trustees as required by changes in Federal tax law or for administrative purposes. The State was not required to make significant contributions to the 401(k) plan prior to GSEPS because most members under other segments of the plan either were not State employees or were not eligible to receive an employer match on their contributions.

The GSEPS plan includes automatic enrollment in the 401(k) plan at a contribution rate of 1% of salary, along with a matching contribution from the State. The State will match 100% of the employee's initial 1% contribution. Employees can elect to contribute up to an additional 4% and the State will match 50% of the additional 4% of salary. Therefore, the State will match 3% against the employee's 5% total savings. Contributions greater than 5% do not receive any matching funds.

GSEPS employer contributions are subject to a vesting schedule, which determines eligibility to receive all or a portion of the employer contribution balance at the time of any distribution from the account after separation from all State service. Vesting is determined based on the following schedule:

Less than 1 year 1 year 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 or more years

0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

Employee contributions and earnings thereon are 100% vested at all times. The 401(k) plan also allows participants to roll over amounts from other qualified plans to their respective account in the 401(k) plan on approval of the 401(k) plan administrator. Such rollovers are 100% vested at the time of transfer. Participant contributions are invested according to the participant's investment election. If the participant does not make an election, investments are automatically defaulted to a Lifecycle fund based on the participant's date of birth.

The participants may receive the value of their vested accounts upon attaining age 59.5, qualifying financial hardship, or retirement or other termination of service (employer contribution balances are only eligible for distribution upon separation from service). Upon the death of a participant, his or her beneficiary shall be entitled to the vested value of his or her accounts. Distributions are made in installments or in a lump sum.
In 2013, the Columbus Technical College employer and employee GSEPS contributions were $13,078.61 and $44,981.01, respectively.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN
Plan Description Columbus Technical College participates in the Georgia Defined Contribution Plan (GDCP) which is a single-employer defined contribution plan established by the General Assembly of Georgia for the purpose of providing retirement coverage for State employees who are temporary, seasonal, and part-time and are not members of a public retirement or pension system. GDCP is administered by the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia.
Benefits A member may retire and elect to receive periodic payments after attainment of age 65. The payment will be based upon mortality tables and interest assumptions to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. If a member has less than $3,500.00 credited to his/her account, the Board of Trustees has the option of requiring a lump sum distribution to the member in lieu of making periodic payments. Upon the death of a member, a lump sum distribution equaling the amount credited to his/her account will be paid to the member's designated beneficiary. Benefit provisions are established by State statute.
The Employees' Retirement System of Georgia issues a financial report each fiscal year which may be obtained through ERS.
Contributions and Vesting Member contributions are seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of gross salary. There are no employer contributions. Contribution rates are established by State statute. Earnings are credited to each member's account in a manner established by the Board of Trustees. Upon termination of employment, the amount of the member's account is refundable upon request by the member. The Technical College's payroll for the year ended June 30, 2013, for employees covered by GDCP was $1,914,700.48. The Technical College's total payroll for all employees was $12,637,998.95.
Total contributions made by employees during fiscal year 2013 amounted to $143,609.46 which represents 7.5% of covered payroll. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
NOTE 10: POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
Columbus Technical College participates in the following State of Georgia other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans:
Administered by Department of Community Health (DCH) Georgia State Employees Post-employment Health Benefit Fund (State OPEB Fund)
Administered by the ERS System State Employees' Assurance Department (SEAD) For retired and vested inactive (SEAD-OPEB) For active employees (SEAD-Active)

GEORGIA STATE EMPLOYEES POST-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH BENEFIT FUND

The State OPEB Fund is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment healthcare plan and is reported as an employee benefit trust fund.

The State OPEB Fund provides postemployment health benefits (including benefits to qualified beneficiaries of eligible former employees) due under the group health plan for employees of State organizations (including technical colleges) and other entities authorized by law to contract with DCH for inclusion in the plan. It also pays administrative expenses of the fund. By law, no other use of the assets of the State OPEB Fund is permitted.

The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (OCGA) assigns the authority to establish and amend the benefit provisions of the group health plans, including benefits for retirees, to the Board of Community Health (Board).

The plan is currently funded on a pay-as-you go basis. That is, annual costs of providing benefits will be financed in the same year as claims occur, with no significant assets accumulating as would occur in an advance funding strategy.

The contribution requirements of plan members and participating employers are established by the Board in accordance with the current Appropriations Act and may be amended by the Board. Contributions of plan members or beneficiaries receiving benefits vary based on plan election, dependent coverage, and Medicare eligibility and election. As of January 1, 2012, for members with fewer than five years of service, contributions also vary based on years of service. As of January 1, 2012, on average, members with five years or more of service pay approximately 25% of the cost of the health insurance coverage. In accordance with the Board resolution dated December 8, 2011, for members with fewer than five years of service as of January 1, 2012, the State provides a premium subsidy in retirement that ranges from 0% for fewer than 10 years of service to 75% (but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to active employees) for 30 or more years of service. The subsidy for eligible dependents ranges from 0% to 55% (but no greater than the subsidy percentage offered to dependents of active employees minus 20%). No subsidy is available to Medicare eligible members not enrolled in a Medicare Advantage Option. The Board sets all member premiums by resolution and in accordance with the law and applicable revenue and expense projections. Any subsidy policy adopted by the Board may be changed at any time by Board resolution and does not constitute a contract or promise of any amount of subsidy.

Participating employers, including but not limited to State organizations, are statutorily required to contribute in accordance with the employer contribution rates established by the Board. The contribution rates are established to fund all benefits due under the health insurance plans for both active and retired employees based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. Contributions are not based on the actuarially calculated annual required contribution (ARC) which represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years.

The combined required contribution rates established by the Board for the active and retiree plans for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, were as follows:

June 2012 July - December 2012 January 2013 - February 2013 March - June 2013

27.523% of covered payroll for July 2012 coverage 35.000% of covered payroll for August 2012 - January 2013 coverage 24.454% of covered payroll for February - March 2013 coverage 25.366% of covered payroll for April - July 2013 coverage

STATE EMPLOYEES' ASSURANCE DEPARTMENT

SEAD-OPEB and SEAD-Active are cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit postemployment plans that were created in fiscal year 2007 by the Georgia General Assembly to provide term life insurance to eligible members of the ERS, Georgia Judicial Retirement System (JRS), and Legislative Retirement System (LRS). SEAD-OPEB provides benefits for retired and vested inactive members, and SEAD-Active provides benefits for active members. Effective July 1, 2009, no newly hired members of any State public retirement system are eligible for term life insurance under SEAD. Pursuant to Title 47 of the OCGA, benefit provisions of the plans were established and can be amended by State statute.

Contributions by plan members are established by the ERS Board of Trustees, up to the maximum allowed by statute (not to exceed 0.5% of earnable compensation). The ERS Board of Trustees establishes employer contribution rates, such rates which, when added to members' contributions, shall not exceed 1% of earnable compensation. Contributions for fiscal year 2013 were based on June 30, 2010, actuarial valuations as follows:

SEAD OPEB

SEAD Active

Total SEAD

Member Rates:

ERS Old Plan Less: Offset Paid by Employer Net ERS Old Plan ERS New Plan, JRS, and LRS

0.50% (0.25%) 0.25% 0.25%

Employer Rates

0.27%

0.00%

0.27%

The ERS Board of Trustees voted and approved that the SEAD-OPEB contribution would be paid from existing assets of the Survivors Benefit Fund (SBF) instead of requiring payment by the employers. The contributions by SBF made on-behalf of Columbus Technical College for fiscal years 2013 and 2012 were estimated to be $3,361.36 and $7,568.08, respectively. There were no required employer contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
According to the policy terms covering the lives of members, insurance coverage is provided on a monthly, renewable term basis, and no return premiums or cash value are earned. The net assets represent the excess accumulation of investment income and premiums over benefit payments and expenses and are held as a reserve for payment of death benefits under existing policies.

COLUMBUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE RECONCILIATION OF BUDGET TO GAAP
JUNE 30, 2013

SCHEDULE "5"

Total Fund Balances - Budget Fund - Non-GAAP Basis (Schedule "1")
Amounts reported for Business-Type Activities in the Statement of Net Position are different because:
Capital Assets used in Business-Type Activities are not reported in the Budget Fund.
Uncollectible accounts receivable are reported as an asset and reserved fund balance in the Budget Fund and as a contra-asset account on the Statement of Net Position.
Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission projects are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund. Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of GSFIC Activity
Agency Fund activities are not reported as a component of the Budget Fund. Assets Liabilities Total Net Effect of Agency Fund Activity
The budgetary basis of accounting implemented by the State of Georgia recognizes expenditures when encumbered. The following adjustments were made to eliminate this activity for reporting on the Statement of Net Position. Payables reported in the Budget Fund that are based on encumbrances are eliminated for GAAP reporting. Payables for goods and services provided in the current fiscal year reported in the Budget Fund as encumbrances payable are reported as accounts payable for GAAP reporting. Reimbursement from grantors reported as revenues in the Budget Fund that are for expenditures based on encumbrances are deferred for GAAP reporting. Total Net Effect of Encumbrance Activity
Compensated Absences are not due and payable in the current period and therefore are not reported as liabilities in the Budget Fund.

SECTION II FINDINGS, QUESTIONED COSTS AND OTHER ITEMS

COLUMBUS TECHNICAL COLLEGE SCHEDULE OF FINDINGS, QUESTIONED COSTS AND OTHER ITEMS
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
FINANCIAL STATEMENT FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
No matters were reported.
FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS
No matters were reported.
OTHER ITEMS (NOTED FOR MANAGEMENT'S CONSIDERATION)
Financial Statement Preparation Process Our review of the Technical College's GAAP basis financial statements revealed errors and misclassifications. Errors found in the Selected Financial Notes, required adjustment. While these errors were relatively insignificant to the financial statements, we recommend that the Technical College strengthen internal controls over the financial statement preparation and review process.
Capital Assets The Technical College's management is responsible for ensuring that capital assets are accurately maintained and properly reported on the Technical College's financial statements. Based on our review of capital assets, the following deficiencies were noted:
The balances for Buildings, Accumulated Depreciation - Buildings, Equipment and Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment reflected in the Asset Management Module within the financial accounting system did not agree to the balances reported on the financial statements.
One equipment item was reported as an asset deletion while it remained in service and should not have been removed from the Capital Assets balance.
Management should review its capital assets records for accuracy and make appropriate adjustments to ensure that the capital assets records conform to the Technical College's approved capital assets policy and generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, management should ensure that the various ledgers and modules associated with capital assets are reconciled to the capital asset information reported on the Technical College's financial statements.
