INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Mr. Rayford J. Fontenot, Superintendent,and Members of the Evangeline Parish School Board

Ville Platte, Louisiana

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, each majorfund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Evangeline Parish School Board (the SchoolBoard), as of and for the year ended June 30, 2004, which collectively comprise the School Board's basicfinancial statements as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of theSchool Board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements basedon our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United Statesof America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards.issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and the provisions of Office of Management andBudget Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments and Nonprofit Organizations". Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financialstatements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidencesupporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing theaccounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overallfinancial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, therespective financial position of the governmental activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remainingfund information of the School Board, as of June 30, 2004, and the respective changes in financial positionfor the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated November15, 2004, on our consideration of the School Board's internal control over financial reporting and on our testsof its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integralpart of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, and should be read inconjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

The required supplementary information on pages 35 through 39 is not a required part of the basicfinancial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting StandardsBoard. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of managementregarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we didnot audit the information and express no opinion on it.

The Evangeline Parish School Board has not presented management's discussion and analysis that theGovernmental Accounting Standards Board has determined is necessary to supplement, although not requiredto be a part of, the basic financial statements.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements thatcollectively comprise the School Board's basic financial statements. The other supplementary information onpages 41 through 62 and the schedules required by state law on pages 74-86 are presented for purposes ofadditional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying scheduleof expenditures of federal awards included in the Single Audit Section in the table of contents is presented forpurposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133,"Audits of States. Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations", and is not a required part of thefinancial statements of the Evangeline Parish School Board. Such information, except for that portion marked"unaudited" on which we express no opinion, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in theaudit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects inrelation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

The financial information for the preceding year, which is included for comparative purposes, wastaken from the financial report for that year in which we expressed an unqualified opinion on the financialstatements of the Evangeline Parish School Board.

A. Financial Reporting Entity

The School Board was created by Louisiana Revised Statute (LRS-R.S.)17:51 to provide public education for the children within Evangeline Parish. TheSchool Board is authorized by LRS-R.S. 17:81 to establish policies and regulationsfor its own government consistent with the laws of the State of Louisiana and theregulations of the Louisiana Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. TheSchool Board is comprised of thirteen members who are elected from thirteendistricts for terms of four years.

The School Board operates fourteen schools within the parish with a totalenrollment of 6,148 pupils. In conjunction with the regular educational programs,some of these schools offer special education and/or adult education programs. Inaddition, the School Board provides transportation and school food services for thestudents.

For financial reporting purposes, the School Board includes all funds andactivities for which the School Board exercises financial accountability. Because theSchool Board members are independently elected and are solely accountable forfiscal matters, which include (1) budget authority, (2) responsibility for fundingdeficits and operating deficiencies, and (3) fiscal management for controlling thecollection and disbursement of funds, the School Board is a separate governmentalreporting entity, primary government.

B. Basis of Presentation

Government-Wide Financial Statements (GWFS)

The statement of net assets and the statement of activities display informationabout the School Board, the primary government, as a whole. They include all fundsof the reporting entity, which are considered to be governmental activities. Fiduciaryfunds are not included in the GWFS. Fiduciary funds are reported only in theStatement of Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities at the fund financial statement level.

The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expensesand program revenues for each function of the School Board's governmentalactivities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program orfunction and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Programrevenues include (a) fees and charges paid by the recipients of goods or servicesoffered by the programs, and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted tomeeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenuesthat are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented asgeneral revenues.

Fund Financial Statements

The accounts of the School Board are organized and operated on the basis offunds. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a separate set ofself-balancing accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to theirintended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance withfinance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds ismaintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements. Fund financialstatements report detailed information about the School Board.

The various funds of the School Board are classified into two categories:governmental and fiduciary. The emphasis on fund financial statements is on majorfunds, each displayed in a separate column. A fund is considered major if it is theprimary operating fund of the School Board or meets the following criteria:

a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses ofthat individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that categoryor type; and

b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses ofthe individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 5percent of the corresponding total for all governmental andenterprise funds combined.

C. Measurement Focus/ Basis of Accounting

Measurement focus is a term used to describe "which" transactions arerecorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to"when" transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied.

Measurement Focus

In the government-wide statement of net assets and the statement ofactivities, the governmental activities are presented using the economic resourcesmeasurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are thedetermination of operating income, changes in net assets (or cost recovery), andfinancial position. All assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associatedwith their activities are reported. In the fund financial statements, the "currentfinancial resources" measurement focus is used. Under this measurement focus, onlycurrent financial assets and liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets.Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financialresources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure ofavailable spendable financial resources at the end of the period.

Basis of Accounting

In the government-wide statement of net assets and statement of activities,the governmental activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting.Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned andexpenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used.Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting from exchange andexchange-like transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements ofGASB Statement No. 33 "Accounting and Financial Reporting for NonexchangeTransactions."

Program revenues

Program revenues included in the Statement of Activities are derived directlyfrom the program itself or from parties outside the School Board's taxpayers orcitizenry, as a whole; program revenues reduce the cost of the function to be financedfrom the School Board's general revenues.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Allocation of indirect expenses

The School Board reports all direct expenses by function in the Statement ofActivities. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a function.Indirect expenses of other functions are not allocated to those functions, but arereported separately in the Statement of Activities. Depreciation expense isspecifically identified by function and is included in the direct expense of eachfunction. Interest on general long-term debt is considered an indirect expense and isreported separately on the Statement of Activities.

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds are presented on themodified accrual basis of accounting. Under this modified accrual basis ofaccounting, revenues are recognized when "measurable and available." Measurablemeans knowing or being able to reasonably estimate the amount. Available meansbeing collectible within the current period or within 60 days after year-end.Expenditures (including facilities acquisition and construction) are recorded when therelated fund liability is incurred, except for general obligation bond principal andinterest which are reported when due. The governmental funds use the followingpractices in recording revenues and expenditures:

Revenues

Federal and state entitlements (unrestricted grants-in-aid, which include stateequalization and state revenue sharing) are recorded when available and measurable.Expenditure-driven federal and state grants, which are restricted as to the purpose ofthe expenditures, are recorded when the reimbursable expenditures have beenincurred.

Ad valorem taxes are recorded in the year the taxes are due and payable. Advalorem taxes are assessed in November, by the Parish Assessor, based on theassessed value and become due on December 31 of each year. The taxes becomedelinquent on January 1. An enforceable lien attaches to the property as of January 1.The taxes are generally collected in December, January, and February of the fiscalyear. Property tax revenues are recognized when levied to the extent that they resultin current receivables. Such amounts are measurable and available to finance currentoperations.

Interest income on time deposits and revenues from rentals, leases, androyalties are recorded when earned.

Sales and use tax revenues are recorded in the month collected by the SchoolBoard.

Substantially all other revenues are recorded when received.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Expenditures

Salaries are recorded as expenditures when incurred. Nine-month employeesalaries are incurred over a nine-month period but paid over a twelve-month period.

Compensated absences are recognized as expenditures when leave is actuallytaken or when employees (or heirs) are paid for accrued leave upon retirement ordeath.

Principal and interest on general long-term obligations are not recognizeduntil due.

All other expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accrualbasis of accounting when the related fund liability is incurred.

Other Financing Sources (Uses)

Transfers between funds that are not expected to be repaid, (or any othertypes, such as capital lease transactions, sales of capital assets, debt extinguishments,long-term debt proceeds, et cetera), are accounted for as other financing sources(uses). These other financing sources (uses) are recognized at the time theunderlying events occur.

D. Assets. Liabilities and Equity

Cash and interest-bearing deposits

For purposes of the Statement of Net Assets, cash and interest-bearingdeposits include all demand deposits, money market accounts, and time deposits ofthe School Board, which are stated at cost.

Investments

Under state law the School Board may deposit funds with a fiscal agentorganized under the laws of the State of Louisiana, the laws of any other state in theunion, or the laws of the United States. The School Board may invest in UnitedStates bonds, treasury notes and bills, government backed agency securities, orcertificates and time deposits of state banks organized under Louisiana law andnational banks having principal offices in Louisiana, hi addition, local governmentsin Louisiana are authorized to invest in the Louisiana Asset Management Pool(LAMP), a nonprofit corporation formed by the State Treasurer and organized underthe laws of the State of Louisiana, which operates a local government investmentpool.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Interfund receivables and payables

During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur betweenindividual funds that may result in amounts owed between funds. Those related togoods and services type transactions are classified as "due to and from other funds."Short-term interfund loans are reported as 'interfund receivables and payables."Long-term interfund loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances from and toother funds." Interfund receivables and payables between funds within governmentalactivities are eliminated in the Statement of Net Assets.

Receivables

In the government-wide statements, receivables consist of all revenuesearned at year-end and not yet received. Major receivable balances for thegovernmental activities include ad valorem taxes, sales and use taxes, and federal andstate grants.

Inventories

The cost of inventories is recorded as expenditures when consumed ratherthan when purchased. Reserves are established for an amount equal to the carryingvalue of inventories.

Inventory of the School Food Service Special Revenue Fund consists of foodpurchased by the School Board and commodities granted by the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture through the Louisiana Department of Education. Thecommodities are recorded as revenues and expenditures when consumed. Allinventory items purchased are valued at cost (first-in, first-out), and donatedcommodities are assigned values based on information provided by the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture.

Capital Assets

The accounting treatment over property, plant and equipment (capital assets)depends on whether they are reported in the government-wide or fund financialstatements.

In the government-wide financial statements, capital assets are capitalized athistorical cost, or estimated historical cost if actual is unavailable, except for donatedassets, which are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of donation. TheSchool Board maintains a threshold level of $5,000 or more for capitalizing capitalassets.

EVANGELINE PARISH SCHOOL BOARDVille Platte, Louisiana

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocatedexpense in the Statement of Activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in theStatement of Net Assets. Depreciation is provided over the assets' estimated usefullife using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of estimated useful livesby type of asset is as follows:

Vehicles 5 yearsEquipment 5-10 yearsBuildings and improvements 40 years

The cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value ofthe asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.

In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fundoperations are accounted for as facilities acquisition and construction expenditures ofthe governmental fund upon acquisition.

The School Board does not possess any material amounts of infrastructurecapital assets, such as sidewalks and parking lots. Amounts expended for such itemsprior to June 30, 2Q02 were considered to be part of the cost of buildings andimprovements. In the future, if such items are built or constructed, and appear to bematerial in cost compared to all capital assets, they will be capitalized anddepreciated over their estimated useful lives as with all other depreciable capitalassets.

Compensated Absences

Twelve-month employees earn from 5 to 10 days of vacation leave each year,depending on their length of service with the School Board. Vacation leave cannotbe accumulated. All School Board employees earn from 10 to 12 days of sick leaveeach year, depending upon the number of months employed. Sick leave can beaccumulated without limitation. Upon retirement or death, unused sick leave of up to25 days is paid to the employee or heirs at the employee's current rate of pay, and allunused sick leave is used in the retirement benefit computation as earned service.

Sabbatical leave may be granted for rest and recuperation and for professionaland cultural improvement. Any employee with a teaching certificate is entitled,subject to approval by the School Board, to one semester of sabbatical leave afterthree years of continuous service or two semesters of sabbatical leave after six ormore years of continuous service. Due to its restrictive nature, sabbatical leavebenefits are recorded as expenditures in the period taken and no liability is recordedin advance of the sabbatical.

EVANGELINE PARISH SCHOOL BOARDVille Platte, Louisiana

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

For fund financial statements, vested or accumulated sick leave that isexpected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources is reported asan expenditure and a current fund liability of the governmental fimd that will pay it.In the government-wide statements, amounts of vested or accumulated sick leave thatare not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources arerecorded as long-term debt. No expenditure is reported for these amounts.

In accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 16, of the GovernmentalAccounting Standards Board, Accounting for Compensated Absences, no liability isrecorded for nonvesting accumulating rights to receive vacation pay. A liability hasbeen recorded for up to 25 days of accumulated sick leave for those employeeseligible for retirement as of June 30, 2004.

At June 30, 2004, employees of the School Board have accumulated andvested $1,745,244 of compensated absence benefits.

Long-term debt

The accounting treatment of long-term debt depends on whether the assetsare used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whetherthey are reported in the government-wide or fund financial statements. Since theSchool Board doesn't have a proprietary fund, all School Board long-term debt isused in governmental fimd operations.

All long-term debt to be repaid from governmental resources is reported asliabilities in the government-wide statements. The long-term debt consists primarilyof general obligation bonds. For government-wide reporting, the costs associatedwith the bonds are recognized over the life of the bond. As permitted by GASBStatement No. 34, the amortization of the costs of bonds will be amortizedprospectively from the date of adoption of GASB Statement No. 34.

Long-term debt for governmental funds is not reported as liabilities in thefund financial statements. The debt proceeds are reported as other financing sourcesnet of the applicable premium or discount and payment of principal and interestreported as expenditures. For fund financial reporting, issuance costs, even ifwithheld from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt serviceexpenditures.

Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)

Equity Classifications

In the government-wide statements, equity is classified as net assets anddisplayed in three components:

a. Invested in capital assets, net of related debt - Consists of capital assetsincluding restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation andreduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, orother borrowing that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, orimprovement of those assets.

b. Restricted net assets - Consists of net assets with constraints placed onthe use either by (1) external groups, such as creditors, grantors,contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments; or (2) lawthrough constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.

c. Unrestricted net assets - All other net assets that do not meet thedefinition of "restricted" or "invested in capital assets, net of relateddebt."

In the fund financial statements, governmental fund equity is classified asfund balance. Fund balance is farther classified as reserved and unreserved, withunreserved further split between designated and undesignated.

E. Budget Practices

Proposed budgets are prepared on a basis consistent with generally acceptedaccounting principles (GAAP) and are presented to the School Board by theSuperintendent prior to the commencement of each fiscal year. After public hearings,the proposed budgets, after any amendments deemed necessary, are adopted by theBoard. Budgetary amendments are processed in the same manner. Budgets areprepared only for the General Fund and all Special Revenue Funds. Allappropriations lapse at the end of each fiscal year.

F. Revenue Restrictions

The School Board has various restrictions placed over certain revenuesources from state or local requirements. The primary restricted revenue sourcesinclude:

G. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generallyaccepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure ofcontingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reportedamounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual resultscould differ from those estimates.

(2) Cash and Interest-Bearing Deposits

Under state law, the School Board may deposit funds within a fiscal agent bank organizedunder the laws of the State of Louisiana, the laws of any other state in the Union, or the laws of theUnited States. The School Board may invest in direct obligations of the United States government,bonds, debentures, notes or other evidence of indebtedness issued or guaranteed by federal agenciesand/or the United States government, and time certificates of deposit of state banks organized underLouisiana law and national banks having principal offices in Louisiana.

. r . REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROLA Professional Accounting Corporation

OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OFFINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE

WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

Mr. Rayford Fontenot, Superintendent,and Members of the Evangeline Parish School Board

Ville Platte, Louisiana

We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, each major fund, and theaggregate remaining fund information of the Evangeline Parish School Board, (the School Board) as of andfor the year ended June 30, 2004, which collectively comprise the School Board's basic financial statementsand have issued our report thereon dated November 15, 2004. We conducted our audit in accordance withauditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable tofinancial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of theUnited States.

Compliance

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the School Board's financial statements arefree of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on thedetermination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with thoseprovisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The resultsof our tests disclosed an instance of noncompliance that is required to be reported under GovernmentAuditing Standards, which is described in the accompanying summary schedule of current and prior yearaudit findings as item 04-1(C).

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Evangeline Parish School Board's internalcontrol over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressingour opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financialreporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose allmatters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A materialweakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control componentsdoes not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material inrelation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLETO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVERCOMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133

Mr. Rayford Fontenot, Superintendent,and Members of the Evangeline Parish School Board

Ville Platte, Louisiana

Compliance

We have audited the compliance of the Evangeline Parish School Board (the School Board), with thetypes of compliance requirements described in the U. S. Office of Management and Budget (QMS') CircularA-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to its major federal program for the year ended June 30,2004. The School Board's major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor's results section ofthe accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of theSchool Board's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the School Board's compliancebased on our audit.

We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted inthe United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government AuditingStandards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits ofStates, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 requirethat we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with thetypes of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a majorfederal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the School Board'scompliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures, as we considered necessary in thecircumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does notprovide a legal determination on the School Board's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the Evangeline Parish School Board complied, in all material respects, with therequirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year endedJune 30, 2004.

Internal Control Over Compliance

The management of the School Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining effectiveinternal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable tofederal programs.

Management Letter

Mr. Rayford J. Fontenot, Superintendentand Members of the Evangeline Parish School Board

Ville Platte, Louisiana

During our audit of the financial statements of the Evangeline Parish School Board, as of and for theyear ended June 30, 2004, we noted certain areas in which improvements in the accounting system andfinancial practices may be desirable. Therefore, we submit the following suggestions for your consideration:

1. In performance of School Activity Funds testing, numerous findings were notedinvolving internal control, bank reconciliations, cash receipts, and cash disbursements.Internal control procedures should be implemented in order to resolve the findingsnoted.

2. Controls over the fixed asset inventory system should be improved. The followingdeficiencies were noted while performing the inventory inspection:

a) Items were disposed of and not removed from the inventory.b) Items were transferred to another location and not corrected on the

inventory.c) Several new purchases were not added to the inventory.d) Item had no tag.e) Numerous items could not be found on the inventory list.

We would like to express our appreciation to you and your office staff for the courtesies andassistance rendered to us during the performance of our audit. Should you have any questions or needassistance in implementing any of our suggestions, please feel free to contact us.
