9. Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Organization incurredanet loss of $121,489 forthe year ended September 30,2007. In the prior year, the Organization received a significant number ofgrants to provide services to those affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. With this grant revenue, theOrganization generated net income of $360,455 for the year ended September 30,2006, which eliminatedthe deficit in prior year net assets. Net assets for the year ended September 30,2006 was $60,712.However, the loss incurred this year has generated a deficit of $60,892 for the year ended September 30,2007. Overall, the deficit in unrestricted net assets has continued to increase each year. The deficit iniinrestricted net assets mcreased by $117 for the year ended 2007. The deficit in unrestricted net assets at2007 and 2006, was ($371,488) and ($371,371), respectively.
Although the Organization has been successful in obtaining restricted grants for programs which doescover program related expenses, there is limited unrestricted revenue to pay for administrative andoverhead costs. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, there was no unrestricted cash. Approximately$80,000 is due to the unrestricted cash balance from the restricted cash balance.
Since inception, the Organization was dependent on Woman's Hospital for administrative supportnecessary to cover payroll costs due to a two month delay in receiving reimbursable grant money fromvarious grantors. This relationship with Woman's Hospital terminated on March 1,2004.
In addition, the Organization incurred debt to Woman's Hospital for start-up costs. During the year endedSeptember 30,2005, the Organization has restructured this debt to Woman's Hospital (see Note 2);however, there is limited unrestricted revenue to make payments on this debt.
Management's plans relating to the above liquidity issues are as follows:
• Management has identified ways to increase overhead reimbursement from grants.• The debt due to Woman's Hospital has been restructured at a favorable interest rate and payment
terms.• Management has prepared a Strategic Plan for 2008 which includes fundraising and corporate
sponsorships.
Management believes that these plans, along with monitoring costs, will provide sufficient liquidity forthe Organization for the coming year.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTORL OVERFINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCEWITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Board of DirectorsFamily Road of Greater Baton Rouge, Inc.Baton Rouge, Louisiana
We have audited the financial statements of Family Road of Greater Baton Rouge, Inc. (Family Road) (a non-profit organization) as of and for the year ended September 30,2007, and have issued our report thereon datedMarch 11,2008. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in theUnited States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government AuditingStandards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Family Road's internal control over financial re^^a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financialstatements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Family Road's internalcontrol over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of theOrganization's internal control over financial reporting.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management oremployees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on atimely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, thatadversely affects the entity'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 thata misstatement of the entity's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented ordetected by the entity's internal control
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that result in morethan a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented ordetected by the Organization's internal control.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the firstparagraph of this section and would not necessarily identity all deficiencies in internal control that might besignificant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control overfinancial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. We noted certain othermatters that we reported to management in a separate letter dated March 11,2008.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Family Road's financial statements are free ofmaterial 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 thoseprovisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The resultsof our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported underGovernment Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information of the Board of Directors, Management, and the LouisianaLegislative Auditor and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specifiedparties. However, under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Legislative Auditoras a public document.

The management of Family Road is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control overcompliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. Inplanning and performing our audit, we considered Family Road's internal control over compliance with therequirements that could have a direct and niaterial effect on amauditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not expressan opinion on the effectiveness of Family Road's internal control over compliance.
A control deficiency in an Organization's internal control over compliance exists when the design or operationof a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assignedfunctions, to prevent or detect noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on atimely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, thatadversely affects the entity's ability to administer a federal program such that there is more man a remotelikelihood that noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is more thaninconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in moreman a remote likelihood that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federalprogram will not be prevented or detected by the entity's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the firstparagraph of this section and would not necessarily identity all deficiencies in internal control that might besignificant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identity any deficiencies in internal control overcompliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

a coding error caused Family Road to request reimbursement for maintenanceprepayment. In the future invoices will be more closely reviewed to ensure allreimbursements are for expense charges.

We have audited the financial statements of the Family Road of Greater Baton Rouge, Inc., for theyear ended September 30,2007 and have issued our report thereon. As part of our examination, wemade a study and evaluation of internal accounting control to the extent we considered necessary toevaluate the system as required by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States ofAmerica. Under these standards, the purposes of such evaluation are to establish a basis forreliance on the system of internal accounting control in determining the nature, timing, and extentof other auditing procedures that are necessary for expressing an opinion on the financialstatements and to assist the auditor in planning and performing his audit of the financial statements.
The objective of internal control is to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance as to thesafeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and the reliability of thefinancial records for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. Theconcept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a system of internal accounting controlshould not exceed the benefits derived and also recognizes that the evaluation of these factorsnecessarily requires estimates and judgments by management.
No matter how good a system, there are inherent limitations that should be recognized inconsidering the potential effectiveness of internal accounting. In the performance of most controlprocedures, errors can result from misunderstanding of instructions, mistakes of judgment,carelessness, or other personal factors. Control procedures whose effectiveness depends uponsegregation of duties can be circumvented by collusion. Similarly, control procedures can becircumvented intentionally by management either with respect to the execution and recording oftransactions or with respect to the estimates and judgments required in the preparation of financialstatements. Further, projection of any evaluation of internal accounting control to future periods issubject to the risk that the degree of compliance with the procedures may deteriorate. We say thissimply to suggest that any system needs to be constantly reviewed and improved where necessary.

During the course of our audit, we made the following observations which we feel should bebrought to your attention. Concerning these matters, we offer the following comments andrecommendations:
1) Disaster Recovery Plan
Family Road does not have well defined, written disaster recovery procedures. The time tomake contingency plans is before disaster strikes, so that all personnel will be aware of theirresponsibilities in the event of an emergency situation. We suggest that management develop adisaster recovery plan that includes, but is not limited to, the following matters:
• Location of, and access, to off-site storage• A listing of all data files that would have to be obtained from the off-site storage
location• Identification of a backup location (name and telephone number) with similar or
compatible equipment for emergency processing (management should makearrangements for such back-up with another company, a computer vendor, or a servicecenter; the arrangement should be in writing)
• Responsibilities of various personnel in an emergency• Priority of critical applications and reporting requirements during the emergency
period
Management's response: Management agrees with the recommendation noted above and has plansto perform a cost benefit analysis before implementing a disaster recovery plan.
2) Indirect Cost Allocation
Our audit procedures disclosed that the indirect cost allocation was not accurately calculatedfor one of the grants, which required an adjustment between restricted and unrestrictedrevenue. We recommend that someone review the indirect cost allocations for the grants on amonthly or quarterly basis. We believe that this process will make accounting for andclassifying of grants an easier and more routine task. This should also enhance the ability toachieve more consistent accounting and financial statement presentation.
Management's response: Management agrees with the recommendation noted above and hasimplemented a process for reviewing the calculation of the indirect cost allocations requested forthe grants.
