The report is issued pursuant to Georgia law requiring all Regional Commissions to publish a complete set of financial statements within six months of the close of each fiscal year. The report must conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and be audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America by a firm of licensed certified public accountants.
This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the Commission. Consequently, agency management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, the ARC’s management has established a comprehensive internal control framework. It is designed both to protect the Commission’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient, reliable information for the preparation of the ARC’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The ARC recognizes that the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits. Accordingly, the agency has designed its controls in a way that provides reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
