(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A. Nature of Activities

Delta operates as a community action agency administering various federal and statefunded programs designed to provide assistance to the poor and disadvantaged in variousparishes in Louisiana that Delta serves. The following programs, with their approximate percentageof total revenues indicated, are administered by Delta:

Head Start Program (64%) - Provides com prehensive early child development for disadvantagedand handicapped preschool children and their families. Funding is provided by federal funds fromthe U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Child Care Food Program (6%) - Provides a food service program in coordination with the HeadStart Program. Funding is provided by federal funds from USDA passed through the LouisianaDepartment of Education,

Community Services Block Grant (3%) - Administers programs designed to provide servicesand activities that will have a measurable impact on causes of poverty in the community. Fundingis provided by federal funds passed through the Louisiana Department of Labor.

Home Energy Assistance (5%) - Assists low income households to offset the burden of highenergy costs. Funding is provided by federal funds passed through Louisiana Housing FinanceAgency and the Louisiana Association of Community Action Partnerships, Inc.

Family Day Care Services (19%) - Provides a food service program for children in privatenonprofit centers of approximately 174 homes. Financing is provided by federal funds passedthrough the Louisiana Department of Education.

Delta Recovery Program (3%) - Provides substance abuse treatment and education for eligibleparticipants. Funding is provided by federal funds passed through the Louisiana Department ofHealth and Hospitals, Division of Alcohol and Drug Abuse.

B. Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of Delta have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

C. Basis of Presentation

Financial statement presentation follows the recommendations of the Financial AccountingStandards Board in its Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, FinancialStatements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117, the Organization is required toreport information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of netassets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted netassets.

D. Income Tax Status

Delta is a non-profit corporation and is exempt from state and federal income taxes under Section501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, income from certain activities not directlyreiated to Delta's tax-exempt purpose would be subject to taxation as unrelated business income.There was no unrelated business income for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,

(Continued)

E. Use of Estimates

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimatesand assumptions affect the reported amou nts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingentassets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ fromthose estimates.

F. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, Delta considers all unrestricted highly liquidinvestments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

G. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost orr if donated, at the approximate fair value at the dateof donation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lifeof each asset. The Federal Government has a reversionary interest in property purchased withfederal funds. Its disposition as well as the ownership of any proceeds there from is subject tofederal regulations.

H. Revenue and Support

Contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanentlyrestricted support, depending on the existence and/or nature of any donor restrictions. Contractualgrant revenue is reported as unrestricted support due to the restrictions placed on those funds bythe funding sources being met in the same reporting period as the revenue is earned.

Support that is restricted by the donor is reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets if therestriction expires in the reporting period In which the support is recognized. All other donor-restricted support is reported as an increase in temporarily or permanently restricted net assets,depending on the nature of the restriction. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulatedtime restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), temporarily restricted net assets arereclassified to unrestricted net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net assetsreleased from restrictions.

(2) Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject Delta to concentrations of credit risk consist principally oftemporary cash investments and grant receivables.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to grant receivables are limited due to these amounts beingdue from governmental agencies under contractual terms. As of June 30,2008 and 2007, Delta hadno significant concentrations of credit risk in relation to grant receivables.

Delta maintains cash balances at several financial institutions. Accou nts at each institution are ffisuredby the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. At June 30, 2008 total cashbalances held at financial institutions was $224,582. Of this amount, $211,671 was secured by FDIC,and the remaining $12,911 was collateralized by pledge securities. At June 30. 2007 total cashbalances held at financial institutions was $477,198. Of this amount, $253,282 was secured by FDIC,and the remaining $223,916 was collateralized by pledged securities.

Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards

To the Board of DirectorsDelta Community Action Association, Inc.Tallulah, Louisiana

We have audited the financial statements of Delta Community Action Association, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) as ofand for the year ended June 30.2008, and have issued our report thereon dated December 9,2008. We conductedour audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted In the United States of America and the standardsapplicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of theUnited States.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered Delta Community Action Association, Inc/s internal control overfinancial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on thefinancial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Delta Community ActionAssociation, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on theeffectiveness of Delta Community Action Association, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the precedingparagraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies ormaterial weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control overfinancialreporting that we consider to be a significant deficiency,

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in thenormal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Asignificant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects DeltaCommunity Action Association, Inc.'s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably inaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that amisstatement of Delta Community Action Association, Inc.'s financial statements that Is more than inconsequential willnot be prevented or detected by Delta Community Action Association, Inc/s internal control. We considerthe deficiencydescribed in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2008-B1 to be a significantdeficiency in internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than aremote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by DeltaCommunity Action Association, Inc.'s internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraphof this section and would not necessarily identify aJI deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficienciesand, accordingly, would necessarily disclose alt significant deficiencies that are also considered to be materialweaknesses. However, we believe that the significant deficiency described above is not a material weakness.

18

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Delta Community Action Association. Inc.'s financialstatements 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 thedetermination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions wasnot an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of ourtests disclosed noinstances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Delta Community Action Association's response to the finding identified in our audit is described in the accompanyingsched ule of findings and questioned costs. We did not audit their response and accordingly, we express no opinion on it

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of Directors and federal awardingagencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specifiedparties.

An audit includes examining, on a testbasis, evidence about Delta Community Action Association, Inc.'s compliance with those requirements and performingsuch other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides areasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on Delta Community ActionAssociation, Inc.'s compliance with those requirements.

Summary Schedule of Prior Audit FindingsJune 30, 2008

There were three findings related to major federal awards programs for the prior audit period for the yearended June 30,2007, as follows:

2007-C1 SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES - Head Start Program CFDA #93.600

Statement of Condition: During the audit, we tested the agency's compliance with the requirement that aminimum of 90 percent of the enrollees in the Head Start program must be from families whose income isbelow the official Federal poverty guidelines or who are receiving public assistance (ie income eligible). Theresults of our testing initially indicated that 11.38% of the enrollees were not determined to be income eligible.However, the agency was able to subsequently revise and correct its rosters to reflect 9.52% of the enrollees notincome eligible, thus meeting the requirement that 90% of the enrollees be income eligible.

Recommendation: We recommend that the agency establish adequate controls for tracking the number ofenrolfees who are determined to be income eligible, to ensure compliance with the requirement that 90% areincome eligible. We further recommend that supervisory personnel be assigned to review documentation ofcompliance with the 90% requirement on a routine basis.

Current Status: Improvement noted. No finding in current year audit.

2007-C2 FINDING

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES - Head Start Program CFDA#93.600

Recommendation: We recommend that the agency establish adequate controls to ensure compliance with theDavis Bacon Act for at! applicable transactions. We further recommend that the agency consult with theDepartment of Health and Human Services to resolve this compliance finding.

Current Status: No finding in current year audit

2007-C3 FINDING

8. The threshold for distinguishing Types A and B programs was $300,000.

9. Delta Community Action Association, Inc. does not qualify as a low-risk auditee.

B. Findings - Financial Statements Audit:

2008-B1 SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

Deficiency: As is common in small organiMtions, management has chosen to engage the auditor to proposecertain year-end adjusting journal entries and to prepare their annual financial statements. This condition isintentional by management based upon the Agency's financial complexity, along with the cost effectiveness ofacquiring the ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.Consistent with this decision, internal controls over the preparation of year-end adjusting entries and annualfinancial statements, complete with notes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have notbeen established. Under generally accepted auditing standards, this condition represents a significant deficiency ininternal controls.

It should be noted that Delta Community Action Association, Inc. prepares appropriate financial statements on aperiodic basis which allows management to monitor the financial performance for the programs-grants-contracts itadministers.

(Continued)

23

Delta Community Action Association, Inc.TaHulah, Louisiana

Schedule of Findings and Questioned CostsJune 30,2008(Continued)

Recently issued Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 112 requires that we report the above condition as acontrol deficiency. The SAS does not provide exceptions to reporting deficiencies that are adequately mitigatedwith nonaudit services rendered by the auditor or deficiencies for which the remedy would be cost prohibitive orotherwise impractical.

Recommendation: As mentioned above, whether or not it would be cost effective to cure a control deficiency is nota factor in applying SAS 112's reporting requirements. Because prudent management requires that the potentialbenefit from an internal control must exceed its cost, it may not be practical to correct all the deficiencies an auditorreports under SAS 112. In this case we do not believe that curing the significant deficiency described above wouldbe cost effective or practical and accordingly do not believe any corrective action is necessary.

Management's Response: It is our understanding that the recently issued statement on Auditing Standards No.112 requires the auditor to assess a potential control deficiency in regards to preparing financial statements,complete with notes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Delta Community Action Association. Inc. (DCM) prepares appropriate financial statements on all programs on amonthly basis. This allows DCAA to monitor the financial performance for all programs. DCAA has an appropriatefinancial management system in place to properly monitor each program-grant-contract.

The finding 2008-81 relates only to the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally acceptedaccounting principles. DCAA cannot prepare financial statements, complete with notes, in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles without assistance from the auditors. But DCAA does possess thesuitable skills, knowledge and experience to review the financial statements in such a mannerthat would prevent ordetect a material misstatement. It should be noted that this has been the process for our annual audit since theexistence of DCAA. Only since the recently issued SAS 112 has this become a control deficiency.

DCM will obtain the necessary accounting competence and knowledge to eliminate this finding in the future.
