1         In fiscal year 2004, Regional Offices of Education implemented Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34 which established a new financial reporting model for state and local governments.  Government-wide financial statements are prepared using full accrual accounting that reports Total Net Assets.  The fiscal year 2003 ending general fixed assets have been restated to reflect the changes required as part of the implementation of GASB Statement No. 34.

              Percentages may not add due to rounding.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

 

STATUTORILY REQUIRED REPORT

 

           The Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/3-6) requires the Regional Superintendent to report, in writing, to the county board, on or before January 1 of each year, stating: (1) the balance on hand at the time of the last report, and all receipts since that date, with the sources from which they were derived; (2) the amount distributed to each of the school treasurers in his or her county; and (3) any balance on hand.

 

           The Regional Superintendent is also required to submit, in writing, to the county board a statement of the condition of the Institute Fund and of any other funds in his or her care, custody or control.

 

           The required report was submitted late, on January 15, 2004.  Also, the report did not contain all of the required elements included in the statute. Management stated that they had never read the statute in its entirety; therefore, they were unaware of all the required elements. (Finding 04-01, page 13).

 

       The Regional Office of Education #10 accepted the recommendation stating that the Regional Superintendent will verify that all required elements are included in the fiscal year 2004 report.

 

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

 

        Our auditors state the Regional Office of Education #10’s financial statements as of June 30, 2004 are fairly presented in all material respects.
