The District was created to provide recreational facilities for the citizens of Ward Threeof Allen Parish. The Distik* is gowmed by five commissioners v^^Police Jury and maybe be compensated by a per diem of $10 per meeting attended, not to exceed twelvemeetings per year As of September 30,2006, the cornmlssionere have chosen not to be paid any perdiem.

The District is in the process of developing therecreation complex and when it is completed it will offer a wide range of recreational facilities to thecitizens,
GASB Statement No. 14, Tte Reporting Entity, established criteria for determining the governmentalreporting entity and component units that should be included within the reporting entity. Under provisionsof this Statement, the Recreation District No. 6 of Alien Parish is considered a component unit of the MienParish Police Jury, As a component unit, the accompanying financial statements we included within thereporting of the primary government, either blended into those financial statements or separately reportedas discrete component units.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of changesin net assets) report information on all of the nonffduciary activities of the Recreation District No. 6 of AllenParish. For the most part the effect of interfutvj activity has been removed from these statements.Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, wereported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges forsupport
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function orsegment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are dearly identifiable with aspecific function or segment Program revenues include 1) changes to customers or applicants whopurchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function orsegment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capitalrequirements of a particular function or segment Taxes and other items not property Included amongprogram revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. All individualgovernmental funds and individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund finandalstatements.
6. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement!̂and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded

B. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting, and Financial Statement Presentation
when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized asrevenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue assoon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurementfocus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are bothmeasurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within thecurrent period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, theDistrict considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the currentfiscal period. 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 claimsand judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible toaccrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. All other revenue items areconsidered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the District.
The Recreation District No. 6 of Allen Parish reports the following governmental funds:
The General Fund is the District's primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources ofthe District, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Debt Service Fund accounts for transactions relating to resources retained and used for thepayment of principal and interest on long-term obligations.
The Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources received and used for the acquisition,construction, or improvement of capital facilities not reported in the other governmental funds.
Private-sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1,1989, generallyare followed in the government-wide financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflictwith or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financialstatements.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services,or privileges provided, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions,including special assessments. General revenues include all taxes.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the District's policy to userestricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
C. Deposits and Investments
The District's cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. State law and

Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, bridges,sidewalks, and similar items), are reported in the governmental activities column In the government-widefinancial statements. Capital assets are capitalized at historical cost or estimated cost if historical cost isnot available. As of September 30,2006, alt assets are capitalized at historical cost. Donated assets arerecorded as capital assets at their estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The RecreationDistrict No. 6 of Allen Parish maintains a threshold level of $2,500 or more for capitalizing capital assets.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extendasset lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.
All capital assets, other than land, are depreciated using the straight-line method over their remaininguseful lives.
As of September 30,2006, the only capital assets the District has are land and construction in progress,therefore, no depreciation has been recorded.

H. Estimates
The preparation of financial statements In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in theUnited slates of America require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reportedamounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of thefinancial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenditures, and expenses during thereporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2006-11/C (Material weakness) Segregation of duties:Because of the lack of a large staff, more specifically accounting personnel, there is a problem withsegregation of duties necessary for proper controls. One person is currently performing the function ofpreparing disbursements in the journals, and posting to the general ledger. We do note that this situation isinherent to most entities of this type and is difficult to solve due to the funding limitations of the District. Werecommend that the commissioners take an active interest in the review of all of the financial information.This was also a prior year finding.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITHGOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of CommissionersRecreation District No. 6 of Allen ParishAllen Parish Police JuryReeves, Louisiana
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each majorfund of Recreation District No. 6 of Allen Parish, as of and for the year ended September 30, 2006, whichcollectively comprise the Recreation District No. 6 of Allen Parish's basic financial statements and haveissued our report thereon dated March 1, 2007. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditingstandards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financialaudits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the UnitedStates.
internal Control Over Financial Reporting
in planning and performing our audit, we considered Recreation District No. 6 of Allen Parish's internalcontrol over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressingour opinions on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financialreporting. However, we noted certain matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and itsoperation that we consider to be reportable conditions. Reportable conditions involve matters coming toour attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal control overfinancial reporting that in our judgment, could adversely affect Recreation District No. 6 of Allen Parish'sabiiity to initiate, record, process, and report financial data consistent with the assertions of management inthe financial statements. Reportable conditions are described in the accompanying schedule of findings asitem 2006-1 I/C,
A material weakness is a reportable condition in which the design or operation of one or more of theinternal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that restatements caused byerror or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited mayoccur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal oourse of performing theirassigned functions. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarilydisclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions and, accordingly, would notnecessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses.However, of the reportable conditions described above, we consider item 2006-1 I/C to be a materialweakness.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Recreation District No. 6 of Allen Parish'sfinancial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certainprovisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have adirect and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing anopinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do notexpress such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
