THE COMMISSION WAS FUNDED BY APPROPRIATIONS FROM THE SPECIAL EDUCATION TRUST FUND, GRANTS FROM THE ALABAMA LAW ENFORCEMENT PLANNING AGENCY, FUNDS FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE EMPLOYMENT TRAINING ACT, AND REVENUE-SHARING FUNDS. THE COMMISSION MAINTAINED ONLY A JOURNAL OF ORIGINAL ENTRY. THE ACCOUNTING TRANSACTIONS WERE NOT SUMMARIZED IN A LEDGER BY OBJECT OF EXPENDITURE OR SOURCE OF REVENUE. THE COMMISSION SHOULD KEEP ACCOUNTING RECORDS WHICH SUMMARIZE THEIR REVENUE BY SOURCE AND EXPENDITURES BY OBJECT CLASSIFICATION. THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PREVIOUS REPORT THAT THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY BE PLACED UNDER A FAITHFUL PERFORMANCE BOND HAS NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED. THE FURNISHING OF SUCH A BOND IS GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICE AND IN NO WAY REFLECTS AGAINST THE CURRENT EXECUTIVE SECRETARY. A CHARGE OF $20 WAS MADE FOR EXCESSIVE PER DIEM CLAIMED ON A TRAVEL VOUCHER. THE CHARGE WAS PROMPTLY PAID WHEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PROPER OFFICIALS. THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRESENT THE REVENUES COLLECTED, EXPENDITURES PAID, FUND BALANCES ARISING FROM CASH TRANSACTIONS AND THE LIMITED ACCRUAL OF EXPENDITURES AT YEAR END FOR THE FISCAL YEARS 1976-1977 AND 1977-1978 ON A BASIS CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF PRECEDING YEARS.
