Component VII: General Fiscal Requirements/Uniform Grants Guidance (UGG)
Fiscal monitoring is different than program monitoring: Fiscal monitoring will include a review of a subgrantees financial operations, which may include areview of internal controls for program funds in accordance with state and federal requirements, an examination of principles, laws and regulations, and adetermination of whether costs are reasonable and necessary to achieve program objectives. This activity involves an assessment of financial statements,records, and procedures. It is similar to an audit, but has a lesser degree of detail and depth and, usually, a higher degree of frequency.
Fiscal monitoring includes, but is not limited to:• Reviewing a random sample (usually 3-5 per program) of invoices or bills for expenditures charged to the program to determine if appropriate units ofmeasure are reported and that costs (units x rate) are correct and that costs align with grant objectives and were approved in the application for funds.
• Comparing budgets or budget limits to actual costs to determine if the LEAs expenditures are likely to be more or less than budgeted
• Obtaining documentation that services billed or items purchased were actually delivered according to the contract
• Comparing invoices with supporting documentation to determine that costs were allowable, necessary, and allocable.
An expenditure is allowable if it is an approved use of funds under the statute or regulations governing a program and meet the intent of the program.
An expenditure is necessary if it is part of an approved application for funding.
An expenditure is allocable to the extent that the expenditure is used to meet the intent of the grant program (costs are pro-rated across grants if used to meetseveral grant program objectives).

Methodology toAllocate Stateand Local Funds
1. Federal funds must be used to supplement and in no case supplantstate and local resources. LEAs must show methodology used toallocate State and local funds is the same as it would be in the absenceof Title I funds. This is an LEA decision, and PDE does not prescribemethods. Please explain your methodology used at the LEA level toallocate funds equitable to schools despite Title I status.
Commonwealth Charter Academyis the LEA and the school. Allfunding stays within our oneschoolwide school.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Report on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Charter School’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Opinions In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School, as of June 30, 2017, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, the budgetary comparison schedule for the general fund, and pension information on pages 38 and 39 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Supplementary Information Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 17, 2018, on our consideration of the Charter School’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Charter School’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School
Management Discussion and Analysis
June 30, 2017 The Management of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School (CCA or the School) has prepared this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the School for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The information presented here should be read and considered in conjunction with the School's financial statements. Financial Highlights The School ended June 30, 2017, with a deficit net position of $11,226,444. The current year operations decreased the deficit $10,098,107 from June 30, 2016. The School adopted GASB 68 beginning in 2014-15, and is accordingly reporting its share of the June 30, 2017 total PSERS pension liability calculated to be $93.5 million. This liability is the main contributor to the deficit net position. For fiscal year 2016-17, CCA adopted a balanced general fund budget in the amount of $116.5 million. Actual general fund revenues and other financing sources were $123.3 million. Actual general fund expenditures were $99.1 million and transfers to the capital projects fund were $22.4 million. The resulting general fund surplus of $1.8 million has been assigned by management. General fund revenues in 2016-17 decreased approximately $1.3 million over the prior year due to the significant reclassification of 2014-15 billings received in 2015-16 during the 2015-16 audit. The School's general fund cash balance at June 30, 2017 was $27.3 million, a decrease of $4.7 million from the previous year. School receivables have increased by $2.0 million due to the appropriate amount of receivables booked in the 2016-17 school year.
Relatedly, unearned revenue decreased by $790,000. Payables decreased by $5.3 million primarily for lower amounts owed to Connections Education at fiscal year-end.

Overview of Financial Statements This Management Discussion and Analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the School's basic financial statements. The School's financial statements are comprised of: the Basic Financial Statements; Notes to Financial Statements; and Supplementary Information, including pension and single audit reporting requirements.
Government-Wide Financial Statements include a Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities which are designed to provide readers with a short term and long term overview of the School's finances. The measurement focus of revenue and expense is similar to that used in the private sector and is referred to as the accrual basis of accounting. The remaining Fund Financial Statements focus on a more detailed presentation of operations in the short-term. In particular, fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending for program purposes at the end of the fiscal year. The fund statements report revenues only to the extent cash has been received, or is expected to be received in the near future. This is known as the modified-accrual basis of accounting, and is unique to governmental entities. There is a Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet with the net position presented on the Statement of Net Position. The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.

Governmental Funds The focus of the School's governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the School's financing requirements. In particular, fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending for program purposes at the end of the fiscal year.
The School's governmental funds reported an ending fund balance of $33.5 million. Budget Variations The actual revenues exceeded budgeted amounts by $6.8 million, due to an increase in funding from
local school districts, deferred revenue from prior years recorded in 2016-17, and an increase in
federal funding monies.
Actual expenditures, excluding other financing uses, is less than budget by $9.8 million due to actual
enrollment being lower than anticipated.
Capital Assets As of June 30, 2017, the School's investment in capital assets for its governmental activities totaled $19,903,486 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets include equipment, furniture, buildings and building improvements. Major capital asset purchases during the year included the following;
- Capital expenditures of $7,530,585 for buildings and improvement, - Capital Expenditures of $634,000 for software development - Capital expenditures of $1,479,751 for furniture and equipment.
The additions to the assets are higher over the previous year due to building construction costs. Building improvements and equipment costing $10,779,541 with a net book value of $2,850,952 was disposed of during the year ended June 30, 2017. The net disposal of assets is higher than previous years due to a physical inventory conducted at the School’s facility. Additional information on the School's capital assets can be found in Note 5 of this report.

Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates The School's primary source of revenue, the per student subsidy provided by the local school
districts, are anticipated to remain relatively flat as compared to the previous year. Economic factors
affecting budgets will include the cost of health insurance, increase of PSERS contribution rates and potential State budget cuts. Some future events that could impact the School financially are
fluctuations in the student enrollment.
The School purchased a building in August of 2016. Renovations are planned for the School to move
the two Harrisburg Family Service Center locations in 2017-18. The School anticipates that space will be leased to tenants to offset operating costs. Operating leases for the current locations will cease
upon the transition.
During 2017-18 and 2018-19 school years, the School is investing in curriculum and learning
management system enhancements. This will require additional resources for the next several years.
There are no other known future events that will financially impact the School. Contacting the School's Financial Management
The financial report is designed to provide interested parties a general overview of the School's finances. Questions regarding any of the information provided in this report should be addressed to the CEO, Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School, One Innovation Way, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

The Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School (the “Charter School” or “School”) is a nonprofit corporation established pursuant to the Pennsylvania Nonprofit Corporation Law of 1988. The Charter School is chartered directly through the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The current charter expired June 30, 2016; the renewal is currently being processed by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The Charter School is located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and was established to leverage technology on behalf of students who need a more personalized approach to education to maximize their potential and meet the highest performance standards. The Charter School is a provider of high-quality, highly accountable virtual schooling for learners in grades K-12. The Charter School gives learners the flexibility to learn at home with a curriculum that meets rigorous State education standards. Through individualized service, instruction, and dedication to achievement, the Charter School provides an opportunity for all learners to competently meet personal and community goals, overcome challenges, and share their passion for success with future generations. The Charter School is governed by a board of directors. The number of directors shall be determined by the Board from time to time. At least three Directors shall be chosen from and shall represent one of the following constituencies: (1) the parent of one or more student(s) who is/are enrolled in the School; (2) a generally recognized community leader in the area served by the School, as determined at the discretion of the Board; and (3) an individual currently employed as either a teacher, college instructor in the area of education, or an individual who has served in those capacities or who otherwise has expertise in education, as determined at the discretion of the Board. NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Reporting Entity
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements of the reporting entity include only statements of the Charter School. The Charter School used guidance contained in generally accepted accounting principles to evaluate the possible inclusion of related entities (authorities, boards, councils, etc.) within its reporting entity. The criteria used by the Charter School for inclusion are financial accountability and the nature and significance of the relationships. In determining financial accountability in a given case, the Charter School reviews the applicability of the following criteria. The Charter School is financially accountable for:
• Organizations that make up the legal Charter School entity. • Legally separate organizations if Charter School officials appoint a voting majority of the
organization’s governing body and the Charter School is able to impose its will on the organization, or if there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on, the Charter School as defined below.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED A. Reporting Entity - continued
Impose its will - If the Charter School can significantly influence the programs, projects, or activities of, or the level of services performed or provided by the organization. Financial benefit or burden - Exists if the Charter School (1) is entitled to the organization’s resources; (2) is legally obligated or has otherwise assumed the obligation to finance the deficits of, or provide support to, the organization; or (3) is obligated in some manner for the debt of the organization.
• Organizations that are fiscally dependent on the Charter School. Fiscal dependency is established if the organization is unable to adopt its budget, levy taxes, set rates or charges, or issue bonded debt without approval by the Charter School.
Based on the foregoing criteria, the Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School has determined it has no component units.
B. Basis of Presentation - Government-Wide Financial Statements
Government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) display information about the reporting entity, except for its fiduciary activities. All fiduciary activities are reported only in the fund financial statements. The government-wide statements include separate columns for the governmental and business-type activities of the primary government, as well as any discretely presented component units. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange transactions, are reported separately from business-type activities which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from the legally separate component units for which the primary government is financially accountable. The Charter School presently only has governmental activities.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function to the Charter School are offset by the program revenues related to that function. Direct expenses are those that are directly related to and clearly identified with a function. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or others who purchase, use or directly benefit from services or goods provided by a given function or 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meet the operational or capital requirements of a function. Other items properly not included in program revenues are reported as general revenues. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED C. Basis of Presentation - Fund Financial Statements
The fund financial statements provide information about the government’s funds, including its fiduciary funds. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining governmental funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds. The Charter School Reports the Following Major Governmental Funds:
General Fund: The general fund is the general operating fund of the Charter School. This fund is charged with all costs of operating the Charter School for which a separate fund has not been established. Capital Projects Fund: The capital projects fund accounts for expenditures related to facilities acquisitions and improvements as well as office furniture and equipment costs located within School facilities.
The Charter School does not currently have any enterprise or fiduciary funds. During the course of operations, the government has activity between funds for various purposes. Any residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as interfund receivables and payables. While these balances are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements. Balances between the funds included in governmental activities (i.e., the governmental funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the governmental activities column. Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In fund financial statements, these amounts are reported at gross amounts as transfers in/out. While reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental activities column.

D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources. The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measureable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the Charter School considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 120 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been met, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period for this revenue source. If time eligibility requirements are not met, deferred inflows of resources would be recorded. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the Charter School. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.
E. Budgetary Information
1. Budgetary Basis of Accounting
Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles for the general fund. All annual appropriations, except unexpended grant appropriations and encumbrances, lapse at fiscal year end. The Charter School’s 2016-2017 budget was prepared and approved by the board of directors prior to submitting the budget to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. All budget amounts presented in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted for legally authorized revisions of the annual budget during the year.

F. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows/Outflows of Resources, and Net Position/Fund Balance
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Charter School’s reporting entity considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments are valued at fair value in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application, except for investments in external investment pools, which are valued at amortized costs if required criteria are met as outlined in Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 79, Certain External Investment Pools and Pool Participants.
The Charter School categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs.
2. Receivables The intergovernmental receivables are amounts due from local school districts, the Pennsylvania
Department of Education (PDE), and other governmental entities. 3. Prepaid Items Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund financial statements. The costs of prepaid items are recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
4. Capital Assets, Depreciation, and Amortization The Charter School’s capital assets with useful lives of more than one year are stated at historical cost
and comprehensively reported in the government-wide financial statements. The reported value excludes normal maintenance and repairs, which are essentially amounts spent in relation to capital assets that do not increase the capacity or efficiency of the item or extend its useful life beyond the original estimate. In the case of donations, the Charter School values these capital assets at the estimated fair value of the item at the date of its donation.

4. Capital Assets, Depreciation, and Amortization - continued The Charter School generally capitalizes assets with a cost of $10,000 or more as purchase and
construction outlays occur, with the exception of laptops. Assets purchased or constructed with long-term debt may be capitalized regardless of the threshold established. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the asset value or materially extend useful lives are not capitalized. Capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. When capital assets are disposed, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in operations.
Estimated useful lives, in years, for depreciable assets are as follows:
Assets Years
Building and improvements 6 - 27.5Furniture and equipment 3 - 7
5. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The Charter School has two items that qualify for reporting in this category, which are a deferred pension contribution and deferred outflows of resources for pension reported in the government-wide statement of net position. A deferred pension contribution results from contributions made to the pension plan subsequent to the measurement date and prior to the Charter School’s year end. The contributions will be recognized as a reduction in net pension liability in the following year. Deferred outflows of resources for pension relates to the Charter School’s net pension liability and pension expense and arises from changes in assumptions, actual versus expected results, changes in benefits, variances in expected versus actual investment earnings, changes in the employer’s proportion, or differences between employer contributions and the proportionate share of total contributions reported by the pension plan. These amounts are deferred and amortized over either a closed five-year period or the average remaining service life of all employees, depending on what gave rise to the deferred outflow.

5. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources - continued In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section
for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Charter School has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. The first item, deferred inflows of resources for pension, relates to the Charter School’s net pension liability and pension expense and arises from changes in assumptions, actual versus expected results, changes in benefits, variances in expected versus actual investment earnings, changes in the employer’s proportion, or differences between employer contributions and the proportionate share of total contributions reported by the pension plan. These amounts are deferred and amortized over either a closed five-year period or the average remaining service life of all employees depending on what gave rise to the deferred inflow. The second item, unavailable revenue, arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting and is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from tuition. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available.
6. Unearned Revenues Revenues that are received but not earned are reported as unearned revenues in the government-
wide, governmental, and proprietary funds financial statements. Unearned revenues arise when resources are received prior to the incurrence of qualifying expenditures. In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are met, or when the Charter School has legal claim to the resources, the liability for unearned revenue is removed from the respective financial statements and revenue is recognized.
7. Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and deferred outflows of resources less liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. Net investment in the capital assets component of net position is comprised of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. In addition, any deferred outflows of resources and/or deferred inflows of resources related to such capital assets or liabilities associated with the capital assets should also be added to or deducted from the overall net investment in capital assets. The restricted component of net position is used when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislation adopted by a higher governmental authority or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors, or laws or regulations of other governments. The remaining component of net position is unrestricted. The Charter School applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both the restricted and unrestricted components of net position are available.

8. Fund Balance Policies and Flow Assumptions Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any
limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The Charter School itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a commitment (committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance).
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific
purposes determined by a formal action of the Charter School’s highest level of decision-making authority. The board of directors is the highest level of decision-making authority for the Charter School that can, by adoption of a resolution prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the resolution remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another resolution) to remove or revise the limitation.
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for
specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The Senior Director of Business Operations may assign fund balance. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment.
The Charter School does not have a minimum fund balance policy. Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. The Charter School’s policy states in circumstances where an expenditure is made for a purpose for which amounts are available in multiple fund balance classifications, the order in which resources will be expensed is as follows: restricted fund balance, followed by committed fund balance, assigned fund balance and unassigned fund balance.

use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions (including special assessments) that are restricted to meeting the operations or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Other internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
2. Resident School District Payments Local sources revenue includes amounts paid by various school districts for the students enrolled in
the Charter School who reside within that particular school district. Payment charges per student enrolled vary by district and are calculated annually under Section 1725-A of the Pennsylvania Public School Code. This revenue is earned and recognized during the applicable school year, net of any refunds, if collected within the period of availability.
H. Other Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY - CONTINUED D. Budgetary Compliance
The Charter School’s only legally adopted budget is for the General Fund. All budgetary transfers were made within the last nine months of the fiscal year. The Charter School cancels all purchase orders open at year end; therefore, it does not have any outstanding encumbrances at June 30, 2017. In addition, the Charter School includes a portion of the prior year’s fund balance represented by unappropriated liquid assets remaining in the fund as budgeted revenue in the succeeding year. The results of operations on a GAAP basis do not recognize the fund balance allocation as revenue as it represents prior period’s excess of revenues over expenditures.
NOTE 3 - CASH The deposit and investment policy of the Charter School adheres to state statutes. There were no deposits or investment transactions during the year that were in violation of either the state statutes or the policy of the Charter School. Deposits Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the government’s deposits may not be returned to it. The Charter School does not have a policy for custodial credit risk. As of June 30, 2017, the carrying amount of the Charter School’s deposits was $39,969,441 and the bank balance was $41,845,129. Of the bank balance, $250,000 was covered by federal depository insurance and $41,595,129 of the Charter School’s bank balance was exposed to custodial credit risk, but covered by collateralization requirements in accordance with Act 72 of the 1971 Session of the General Assembly.

NOTE 7 - EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN - CONTINUED
Employee Defined Benefit Pension Plan - continued General Information about the Pension Plan Plan Description PSERS is a governmental cost-sharing multi-employer defined benefit pension plan that provides retirement benefits to public school employees of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania under Title 24 Part IV of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. The members eligible to participate in the System include all full-time public school employees, part-time hourly public school employees who render at least 500 hours of service in the school year, and part-time per diem public school employees who render at least 80 days of service in the school year in any of the reporting entities in Pennsylvania. PSERS issues a publicly available financial report that can be obtained at www.psers.state.pa.us. Benefits Provided PSERS provides retirement, disability, and death benefits. Members are eligible for monthly retirement benefits upon reaching (a) age 62 with at least one year of credited service; (b) age 60 with 30 or more years of credited service; or (c) 35 or more years of service regardless of age. Act 120 of 2010 (Act 120) preserves the benefits of existing members and introduced benefit reductions for individuals who become new members on or after July 1, 2011. Act 120 created two new membership classes, Membership Class T-E (Class T-E) and Membership Class T-F (Class T-F). To qualify for normal retirement, Class T-E and Class T-F members must work until age 65 with a minimum of three years of service or attain a total combination of age and service that is equal to or greater than 92 with a minimum of 35 years of service. Benefits are generally equal to two percent or 2.5 percent, depending upon membership class, of the member’s final average salary (as defined in the Code) multiplied by the number of years of credited service. For members whose membership started prior to July 1, 2011, after completion of five years of service, a member’s right to the defined benefits is vested and early retirement benefits may be elected. For Class T-E and Class T-F members, the right to benefits is vested after 10 years of service. Participants are eligible for disability retirement benefits after completion of five years of credited service. Such benefits are generally equal to two percent or 2.5 percent, depending upon membership class, of the member’s final average salary (as defined in the Code) multiplied by the number of years of credited service, but not less than one-third of such salary nor greater than the benefit the member would have had at normal retirement age. Members over normal retirement age may apply for disability benefits. Death benefits are payable upon the death of an active member who has reached age 62 with at least one year of credited service (age 65 with at least three years of credited service for Class T-E and Class T-F members) or who has at least five years of credited service (10 years for Class T-E and Class T-F members). Such benefits are actuarially equivalent to the benefit that would have been effective if the member had retired on the day before death.

Employee Defined Benefit Pension Plan - continued General Information about the Pension Plan Contributions The contribution policy is set by State Statute and requires contributions by active members, employers, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Member Contributions: Active members who joined the System prior to July 22, 1983 contribute at 5.25 percent (Membership Class T-C) or at 6.50 percent (Membership Class T-D) of the member’s qualifying compensation. Members who joined the System on or after July 22, 1983, and who were active or inactive as of July 1, 2001, contribute at 6.25 percent (Membership Class T-C) or at 7.50 percent (Membership Class T-D) of the member’s qualifying compensation. Members who joined the System after June 30, 2001 and before July 1, 2011 contribute at 7.50 percent (automatic Membership Class T-D). For all new hires and for members who elected Class T-D membership, the higher contribution rates began with service rendered on or after January 1, 2002. Members who joined the System after June 30, 2011 automatically contribute at the Membership Class T-E rate of 7.5 percent (base rate) of the member’s qualifying compensation. All new hires after June 30, 2011, who elect Class T-F membership, contribute at 10.3 percent (base rate) of the member’s qualifying compensation. Membership Class T-E and Class T-F are affected by a “shared risk” provision in Act 120 of 2010 that in future fiscal years could cause the Membership Class T-E contribution rate to fluctuate between 7.5 percent and 9.5 percent and Membership Class T-F contribution rate to fluctuate between 10.3 percent and 12.3 percent. Employer Contributions: The Charter School’s contractually required contribution rate for fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 was 29.20 percent of covered payroll, actuarially determined as an amount that, when combined with employee contributions, is expected to finance the costs of benefits earned by employees during the year, with an additional amount to finance any unfunded accrued liability. The rate was certified by the PSERS board of trustees. Contributions to the pension plan from the Charter School were $7,281,614 for the year ended June 30, 2017. The Charter School is also required to contribute a percentage of covered payroll to PSERS for healthcare insurance premium assistance. For the year ended June 30, 2017, the contribution rate was 0.83 percent of covered payroll and the Charter School contributed $206,977.

The net pension liability was measured as of June 30, 2016, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by rolling forward the System’s total pension liability as of June 30, 2015 to June 30, 2016. The Charter School’s proportion of the net pension liability was calculated utilizing the employer’s one-year reported covered payroll as it relates to the total one-year reported covered payroll.

• The investment rate of return was adjusted from 7.50% to 7.25%. • The inflation assumption was decreased from 3.0% to 2.75%. • Salary growth changed from an effective average of 5.50%, which was comprised of inflation of 3.00%,
real wage growth and for merit or seniority increases of 2.50%, to an effective average of 5.00%, comprised of inflation of 2.75% and 2.25% for real wage growth and for merit or seniority increases.
• Mortality rates were modified from the RP-2000 Combined Healthy Annuitant Tables (male and female) with age set back 3 years for both males and females to the RP-2014 Mortality Tables for Males and Females, adjusted to reflect PSERS’ experience and projected using a modified version of the MP-2015 Mortality Improvement Scale.

The recommended assumption changes based on this experience study were adopted by the PSERS Board at its June 10, 2016 Board meeting, and were effective beginning with the June 30, 2016 actuarial valuation. The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The pension plan’s policy in regard to the allocation of invested plan assets is established and may be amended by the board. Plan assets are managed with a long-term objective of achieving and maintaining a fully funded status for the benefits provided through the pension.

Employee Defined Benefit Pension Plan - continued Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions - continued Discount Rate The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.25 percent. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rate and that contributions from employers will be made at contractually required rates, actuarially determined. Based on those assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. Sensitivity of the School’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 7.25 percent, as well as what the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point lower (6.25%) or one percentage point higher (8.25%) than the current rate:

NOTE 14 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued the following standards which have not yet been implemented:
• Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than
Pensions - This statement replaces the requirements of Statement No. 45, Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. The scope of this statement addresses accounting and financial reporting for OPEB that is provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers. This statement establishes standards for recognizing and measuring liabilities, deferred outflows of resources, deferred inflows of resources, and expense/expenditures. This statement is effective for the Charter School’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.
• Statement No. 87, Leases - This statement requires recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for
leases that previously were classified as operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources. This statement is effective for the Charter School’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.
The Charter School has not yet completed the analysis necessary to determine the actual financial statement impact of these new pronouncements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER
MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Board of Directors Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School Harrisburg, Pennsylvania We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and each major fund of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2017, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated January 17, 2018. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
To the Board of Directors Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2017. Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance Management of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Commonwealth Charter Academy Charter School’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

These adjustments had not been identified and were required to be posted in order for the financial statements to be properly stated which constitutes a deficiency in the School’s financial reporting process. Effect The School’s financial position and financial activity as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016 was not properly stated until adjustments were posted to the general ledger. Cause An error in the application of accounting principles in the prior year required the beginning general fund balance and the beginning governmental net position to be adjusted. Significant revenues not received within the period of availability had to be deferred to future periods. A significant expenditure relating to the subsequent fiscal year was paid in the current year and reflected as a current year expense instead of as a prepaid item. Recommendation All revenues not collected within the period of availability should be deferred to future periods. All significant expenditures during the year‐end cutoff period should be evaluated to determine that they have been included in the proper fiscal year. Management Response During the 2015 and 2016 fiscal years, Commonwealth Connections Academy experienced significant delays in payments for services from the Commonwealth of PA and various school districts, necessitating adjustments to the revenue recognition estimates. If 2014‐15 and 2015‐16 had been a typical year with billings and payments flowing consistent with historical norms, the revenue recognition adjustments would not have been required. Nonetheless, the Charter School management acknowledges the finding for the revenue and expense audit adjustments and has made appropriate modifications to its year end accounting processes and policies to prevent future adjustments.
