INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
Ladies and Gentlemen: 
We have audited the accompanying financial statements (Exhibits A through F) of Griffin Technical Institute as ofand for the year ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Institute's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. 
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 
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. 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position (statutory basis) of Griffin Technical Institute as ofJune 30, 1996, and the results of its operations (statutory basis) for the year then ended, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

 Our audit was made for the purpose offorming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information (Exhibits G through] and Schedules 1 through 3) is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements of Griffin Technical Institute. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. 
Respectfully submitted, 
~

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
REPORTING ENTITY Griffm 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 ofthe State of Georgia. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of Griffin Technical Institute as a separate reporting entity. 
The Institute's Local Board ofDireetors is composed of nine (9) 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 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 Griffin Technical Institute. The Institute does not have authority to retain unexpended State funds (surplus) for any given fiscal year. Accordingly, Griffin Technical Institute is considered an organizational unit ofthe Georgia Department ofTechnical and Adult Education for financial reporting purposes because ofthe significance of its legal, operational, and financial relationships as defined in Section 2100 ofthe Governmental Accounting Standards Board Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards. 
FUND ACCOUNTING Griffin Technical Institute uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results of its 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 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 detenninable. 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 ofthe 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 ofcurrent 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 of the 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 recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., 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 ofthe 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 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. 
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 of operations 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 1995-1996. The budget allocation and disbursement of these funds is made to the various technical institutes by the Administrative Central Office.

Public Entity Risk Pool The State Personnel Board - Merit System ofPersonnel Administration administers for the State of Georgia a program ofhealth benefits for the employees ofunits of government of the State of Georgia, 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' contributions paid by the various units of government participating in the plan, and appropriations made by the General Assembly of Georgia. 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 processes 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 of commercial insurance are purchased applicable to property, employee and automobile liability, fidelity and certain other risks. T~e 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 various state organizations by DOAS to provide claims servicing and claims payment.

NOTE 9: RETIREMENT PLANS 
TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 
Plan Description Griffin 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 of Georgia. The Institute's payroll for the year ended June 30, 1996, for employees covered by TRS was $2,901,922.37. The Institute's total payroll for all employees was $4,053,757.72. 
Benefits TRS provides service retirement, disability retirement, and survivor's benefits for its members. A member is eligtble for service retirement after the member (1) has attained the age of 60 years and has at least ten years ofcreditable service, (2) has at least 30 years of creditable service, regardless of age, or (3) has attained the age of 55 years and has at least 25 years of creditable 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 of creditable service up to 40 years. Any member who has between 25 and 30 years of creditable service and is at least 55 years 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 7% for each year or fraction thereofby which the member has less than 30 years of service. The normal 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.

TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF GEORGIA 
 
Benefits 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 of the Institute who are covered by TRS are required to pay 5% of their 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 $487,813.43, of which $342,717.04 was made by the Institute and $145,096.39 was made by employees. These contributions represented 11.81% (Institute) and 5% (employees) of covered 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 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 of TRS as ofJune 30, 1995, which was the latest information available, was as follows: 
 
Total pension benefit obligation 
 
$ 17,442,607,000.00

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. 
Under both the old plan and new plan, 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 of age 65. 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 of age.

Benefits 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 ofyears 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 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 14.8go!cJ 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 $20,793.16, of which $19,182.77 was made by the Institute and $1,610.39 was made by employees. These contributions met the requirements of the plan.
