U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission

I am pleased to present the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's financial statements for fiscal year 2010. Our financial statements are an integral component of our Performance and Accountability Report. The Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002 extends to the agency a requirement to prepare and submit audited financial statements. The President's Management Agenda, Improved Financial Performance component among other standards, requires us to obtain and sustain clean audit opinions on our financial statements. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued an updated Circular A-136, Financial Reporting Requirements, on September 29, 2010, which further refined reporting requirements for the PAR submission.
Our FY 2010 financial statements received an unqualified opinion through the hard work of the dedicated financial and administrative staff in the agency. This is the seventh consecutive year that the EEOC has received an unqualified opinion and represents our continuing successful efforts to improve the financial management of the agency. We will re-compete the requirements for the agency’s financial business software, hosting, and applications and accounting operations support in FY 2011 for implementation effective October 1, 2011, FY 2012. The Department of the Interior’s National Business Center currently supports CGI’s Momentum® software package, hosting and transaction processing through an inter-agency agreement which expires September 30, 2012.
For FY 2010, the agency received a $367.3 million budget. We completed the fiscal year within budget and improved financial management. Compensation and benefit costs continue to consume a substantial portion of the budget. Office space rent costs are rising consistent with housing the number of employees onboard and approved vacancies. Rent costs remained just under 7% of our total budget. With 8% of the budget dedicated to the State and local program, only 14% of the budget is available for technology, programs, travel, and other general expenses.
The agency is faced with growing workloads. We continue with our hiring program to rebuild staffing levels which were at a historically low level. Beginning at mid year of FY 2009, we began the process to hire investigators, trial attorneys, and other staff to support our systemic enforcement and litigation programs. We continued new hire efforts in FY 2010 as well as automatically backfilling positions as staff retire or leave for other reasons. Also, we dedicated $2.9 million to address training for our investigators, attorneys, program analysts, and other employees.
Working with the General Services Administration, the agency is relocating our Washington Field Office (WFO) from our Headquarters office at 131 M Street, NE in Washington, D.C. New hiring for both Headquarters human resource functions and the WFO drove the expansion requirements. The WFO will relocate to an area building in the Spring of 2011. The location will be close to our Headquarters in the same area called NoMa (North of Massachusetts Avenue). The agency is pleased to continue to be at the forefront of an area for economic re-development within the District of Columbia.
Working with our Office of Information Technology, the agency competed and awarded two important orders in this past fiscal year. The first order is for Enterprise Applications Support through the GSA Small Business Alliant Government-wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). The potential contract value is close to $10 million if all the option periods and optional contract line items are funded. The scope of the contract provides for all applications support throughout the agency. The second order is for Enterprise Operations Support through the GSA Small Business Alliant Government-wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). The potential contract value is close to $10 million if all the option periods and optional contract line items are funded.
As reported in the past, I have identified several critical issues for the agency to focus on to continue to improve its long-term financial health. An update on each item is provided below.
Three years ago the agency contracted for an independent top-down study of the information technology infrastructure and staffing. The report called for substantial changes in the governance, organization, use of contracts, server and network operations, desktop management, and the skill mix of staff in order to more effectively spend the $23 million annual budget for the information technology function. An independent cost/benefit study will be undertaken in FY 2011/2012 for the current data center operating in the Headquarters building. Special emphasis will be placed on comparing energy consumption, cost of labor, risk factors for the location in Washington, DC, disaster recovery and the economies of scale that could be achieved through a competitive acquisition process.
In FY 2011, we will continue the focus on accountability, financial transparency, and results through improved budget planning, performance metrics and financial management.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacqueline Berrien, Chair
FROM: Milton A. Mayo, Jr. , Acting Inspector General
SUBJECT: Audit of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Fiscal Year 2010 Financial Statements (OIG Report No. 2010-03-FIN)
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm of Harper, Rains, Knight and Company, P.A (HRK) to audit the financial statements of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for fiscal year 2010. The contract required that the audit be done in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards; Office of Management and Budget’s Bulletin 07-04, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements, and the Government Accountability Office/President’s Council on Integrity and Efficiency’s Financial Audit Manual.
HRK issued an unqualified opinion on EEOC’s FY 2010 financial statements. In its Report on Internal Control, HRK noted two areas involving internal control and its operation that were considered to be significant deficiencies. These included time and attendance controls and controls over revenue and receivables. In its Report on Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations, HRK noted no instances of non compliance with certain laws and regulations applicable to the agency.
In connection with the contract, OIG reviewed HRK’s report and related documentation and inquired of its representatives. Our review, as differentiated from an audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards, was not intended to enable us to express, and we do not express, opinions on EEOC’s financial statements or conclusions about the effectiveness of internal controls or on whether EEOC’s financial management systems substantially complied with FFMIA; or conclusions on compliance with laws and regulations. HRK is responsible for the attached auditor’s report dated November 10, 2010 and the conclusions expressed in the report. However, OIG’s review disclosed no instances where HRK did not comply, in all material respects, with generally accepted government auditing standards.
EEOC management was given the opportunity to review the draft report and to provide comments. Management comments are included with the report as an attachment.

Report of Independent Auditors
Inspector General
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), as of September 30, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of net cost and changes in net position, and combined statement of budgetary resources, for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of EEOC management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of EEOC as of September 30, 2009 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated November 13, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and OMB Bulletin No. 07-04, Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Statements, as amended. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial 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, the financial position of EEOC as of September 30, 2010, and its net cost of operations, changes in net position, and budgetary resources for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered EEOC’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. We did this in order to determine our audit procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide an opinion on internal control. We limited our internal control testing to those controls necessary to achieve the objectives described in OMB Bulletin No. 07-04, as amended. We did not test all internal controls relevant to the operating objectives as broadly defined by the Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act of 1982. Providing an opinion on internal control was not the objective of our audit. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on EEOC’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance or on management’s assertion on internal control included in Managements’ Discussion and Analysis. However, our work identified the need to improve certain internal controls, as defined above, they are described in Exhibit 1. These deficiencies in internal control, although not considered material weaknesses, represent significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal control, which adversely affect the entity’s ability to meet their internal control objectives or meet OMB criteria for reporting matters under FMFIA.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies that might be a significant deficiency. A significant deficiency is a deficiency in internal control, or a combination of deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the entity's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that might be a material weakness. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that result in a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Because of inherent limitations in internal controls, misstatements, losses, or non-compliance may nevertheless occur and not be detected.
Report on Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations
The management of EEOC is responsible for complying with laws and regulations applicable to EEOC. As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether EEOC’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with selected provisions of laws and regulations including laws governing the use of budgetary authority and government-wide policies identified in OMB Bulletin No. 07-04, as amended, non-compliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of consolidated and combined financial statements. Our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations which would be reportable under U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards or OMB audit guidance.
We limited our tests of compliance to the provisions of laws and regulations referred to in the preceding paragraph. Providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Other Information
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board and OMB Circular A-136, Financial Reporting Requirements. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the MD&A. However, we did not audit the information and accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements of EEOC taken as a whole. The other accompanying information included in this performance and accountability report is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the management of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. Government Accountability Office, and the U.S. Congress and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Exhibit 1
Significant Deficiencies
1. Lack of Adequate Controls over Time and Attendance
In fiscal years (FY) 2008 and 2009, a significant deficiency relating to the lack of adequate controls over time and attendance was reported.
The following recommendations were made to management:
The EEOC Office of Human Resources (OHR) should review and refine controls in place over time and attendance reporting to ensure all employees report accurate and complete information to time keepers.
OHR should implement a policy requiring timesheets with incorrect or incomplete information to be returned to employees for correction before certifying time and attendance information in EEOC’s online timekeeping system.
In response to the prior year finding, OHR indicated the updated Time Attendance Guidance included policy and procedures to address the deficiencies and that follow-up with timekeepers and certifiers was performed. In addition, OHR’s response indicated EEOC had purchased a web based time and attendance system with a planned implementation of January 2011.
During FY 2010, EEOC continued to experience difficulties in providing support for recorded time and attendance, including providing time and attendance support that was incomplete, for the incorrect pay period and not properly approved.
We noted the following during our testing:
Based on the knowledge OHR is implementing a new system in FY2011, we make the following recommendations:
Management’s Response: Management concurs with the finding and recommendation. See appendix B for management’s detailed response.
2. Lack of Adequate Controls over Revenue and Receivables
In fiscal years (FY) 2008 and 2009, a significant deficiency relating to the lack of adequate controls over revolving fund (RF) revenue and receivables was reported.
It was recommended to management that the Revolving Fund Division (RFD) ensure documentation is maintained to support all transactions recorded in the general ledger.
During fiscal year (FY) 2010, EEOC continued to experience difficulties providing complete and timely documentation supporting RF transactions recorded in the general ledger.
We noted the following during our testing:
Per interviews with RFD personnel, we were informed that due to systems limitations with the contracted systems to record on-line registrations and payment and the core accounting system, additional manual processes were required to be performed by RFD personnel on a daily basis in order to maintain accurate accounting records over the RF revenue and accounts receivable activity.
Recognizing the manual nature of certain RF revenue and accounts receivable activities, we make the following recommendations:
Management’s Response: Management generally concurs with the finding and recommendation. See appendix B for management’s detailed responses. While the OCFO concurs with the overall finding, they take exception to their inclusion, as well as the inclusion of the core accounting system, Momentum, in the recommendation and request "the recommendation in the first bullet needs to drop the reference to CFO management and core accounting system limitations."
Auditor Response: Ultimately the OCFO is responsible for all transactions recorded in Momentum and therefore their inclusion in the recommendation is considered necessary to resolve the finding.
Appendix A
Status of Management’s Actions on Prior Year Recommendations
| Recommendation | Status as of 11-10-2010 |
|---|---|
|
OHR should review and refine controls in place over time-and-attendance reporting to ensure that all employees report accurate and complete information to timekeepers. Additionally, OHR should implement a policy requiring return of timesheets with incorrect or incomplete information to employees for correction before certification of time-and-attendance information in EEOC’s online timekeeping system. |
Unresolved: Repeat Condition |
|
The CFO, along with the Director of the RFD, should review accrual procedures in place and refine these procedures to ensure that all revenue not earned at yearend is properly classified as deferred in the financial statements. |
Resolved |
|
The CFO should work with the Director of RFD to ensure that documentation is maintained to support all transactions recorded in the general ledger. |
Unresolved: Repeat Condition |
|
The CFO should coordinate with the Director of RFD to ensure that timely, complete, and accurate reconciliations are performed between the general ledger and the subsidiary ledger and the differences identified are researched and resolved. |

MEMORANDUM
TO: Milton A. Mayo, Jr.
Acting Inspector General
FROM: Lisa M. Williams /s/
Chief Human Capital Officer
SUBJECT: Transmittal of Draft FY 2010 Financial Statement Audit Report of the EEOC
In response to Exhibit 1, Number 1, Lack of Adequate Controls over Time and Attendance, we understand the listed findings.
To improve control over our time and attendance (T&A) system, in January 2011, the EEOC is transitioning to Quicktime which is an automated web-based T&A system that allows employee entry of time, as well as traditional timekeeper data entry. The system provides for extensive editing to ensure that data meets relational edits and regulatory requirements. T&A's must be validated and certified through electronic signatures before updating and producing payroll interface files. Quicktime currently provides payroll interfaces for our existing Federal Personnel and Payroll System (FPPS).
We are providing mandatory training sessions, webinars, and workshops for all timekeepers and certifiers. Web-based training is currently available on inSite for all Agency end users.
As a result of this new T&A system, we hope to improve the internal controls and provide more integrity to the overall T&A process.
If you have any questions regarding the above, you may contact me or Tonya Williams at ext. 4341.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Milton A. Mayo, Jr.
Acting Inspector General
FROM: Jeffrey A. Smith 
Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: November 5, 2010 Transmittal - Draft FY 2010 Financial Statement Audit of the EEOC
We have no comments on the draft for the "Opinion on the Financial Statements" and "Report on Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations."
For the draft "Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting" we have no comments on "1. Lack of Adequate Controls over Time and Attendance" notes and recommendations.
For the draft internal control report, we have comments on "2. Lack of Adequate Controls over Revenue and Receivables." Our comments deal with the RFD personnel interviews and the recommendation in the first bullet. RFD personnel are incorrect by suggesting there are system limitations with the core accounting system that cause additional manual processes. The facts are that the contracted system sends over invalid project codes to the core accounting system. The core accounting system correctly rejects them in the edit process. Also, the contracted system sometimes sends over incorrect collections and refunds. There would be no manual intervention if valid project codes and collections and refunds were correctly interfaced to the core accounting system from the contracted system. To allow incorrect data into the core accounting system would compromise financial data quality. As a result, the recommendation in the first bullet needs to drop the reference to CFO management and core accounting system limitations.
As noted, similar revolving fund findings and recommendations carried forward without resolution from the fiscal year 2008 and 2009 internal control reports. As we recommended in 2009, we again recommend an independent third party professional services firm conduct a detail evaluation of the revolving fund accounting processes and procedures as well as the third party accounts receivable and collection system. Hopefully, an evaluation coupled with system and procedure changes will eliminate these findings for the fiscal year 2011 financial audit.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Milton A. Mayo, Jr., Acting Inspector General
FROM: Nicholas M. Inzeo, Director, Office of Field Programs
SUBJECT: Management's Comments Regarding Auditor's Draft Report on Internal Controls
In the November 5, 2010, report from Harper, Rains, Knight & Co., P.A., the auditors noted a lack of adequate controls over revenue and receivables in the Revolving Fund.
We agree with the auditor's finding. While the Revolving Fund staff has worked closely with the contractor responsible for the registration process and the agency's financial management staff, we agree that there is more to be done in this area. However, during the audit process there appeared to be some instances in which there existed uncertainty with respect to what the auditor required in the form of support for some of the samples provided.
Further, just prior to completion of the audit of the Revolving Fund controls, a new Program Director was selected and after being briefed by staff directly involved in this process agrees that additional steps are warranted to ensure this finding is not repeated in the future. Over the next year, the Director will work to identify what changes are warranted in the existing process and to implement those changes as quickly as possible. She also plans to work with the registration contractor to ensure that information required for future audits is available in a timely manner and format to satisfy audit requirements.
EEOC has prepared its financial statements to report its financial position and results of operations, pursuant to the requirements of the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act of 2002, the Government Management Reform Act of 1994, and OMB Circular A-136, Financial Reporting Requirements.
While the EEOC statements have been prepared from its books and records in accordance with the formats prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget, the statements are in addition to the financial reports used to monitor and control budgetary resources, which are prepared from the same books and records.
These statements should be read with the understanding that they are for a component of the United States Government, a sovereign entity. Liabilities, not covered by budgetary resources, cannot be liquidated without the enactment of an appropriation by Congress and payment of all liabilities, other than for contracts, can be abrogated by the federal government.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Reporting Entity
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was created by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (78 Stat. 253:42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq) as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 (Public Law 92261), and became operational on July 2, 1965. Title VII requires that the Commission be composed of five members, not more than three of whom shall be of the same political party. The members are appointed by the President of the United States of America, by and with the consent of the Senate, for a term of 5 years. The President designates one member to serve as Chairman and one member to serve as Vice Chairman. The General Counsel is also appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate for a term of 4 years.
In addition, based on the EEOC Education Technical Assistance and Training Revolving Fund Act of 1992 (P.L. 102-411), the EEOC is authorized to charge and receive fees to offset the costs of education, technical assistance and training.
The Commission is concerned with discrimination by public and private employers of 15 or more employees (excluding elected or appointed officials of state and local governments), public and private employment agencies, labor organizations with 15 or more members or agencies which refer persons for employment or which represent employees of employers covered by the Act, and joint labor-management apprenticeship programs of covered employers and labor organizations. The Commission carries out its mission through investigation, conciliation, litigation, coordination, regulation in the federal sector, and through education, policy research, and provision of technical assistance.
(b) Basis of Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared to report the consolidated financial position of the EEOC, consistent with the Chief Financial Officers’ Act of 1990 and the Government Management Reform Act of 1994. This means that any intra-agency transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the EEOC in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) using guidance issued by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the EEOC’s accounting policies, which are summarized in this note. These consolidated financial statements present proprietary information while other financial reports also prepared by the EEOC pursuant to OMB directives are used to monitor and control the EEOC’s use of federal budgetary resources.
(c) Basis of Accounting
The Commission’s integrated Financial Management System uses CGI’s Momentum, which is a highly flexible financial accounting, funds control, management accounting, and financial reporting system designed specifically for federal agencies. Momentum complies with the Financial Systems Integration Office’s core requirements for federal financial systems.
Financial transactions are recorded in the financial system, using both an accrual and a budgetary basis of accounting. Under the accrual method, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when a liability is incurred, without regard to the receipt or payment of cash. Budgetary accounting facilitates compliance with legal requirements and mandated controls over the use of federal funds. It generally differs from the accrual basis of accounting in that obligations are recognized when new orders are placed, contracts awarded, and services received that will require payments during the same or future periods. Any EEOC intra-entity transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
(d) Revenues, User Fees and Financing Sources
The EEOC receives the majority of the funding needed to support its programs through congressional appropriations. Financing sources are received in direct and indirect annual and no-year appropriations that may be used, within statutory limits for operating and capital expenditures. Appropriations used are recognized as an accrual-based financing source when expenses are incurred or assets are purchased.
The EEOC also has a permanent, indefinite appropriation. These additional funds are obtained through fees charged to offset costs for education, training and technical assistance provided through the revolving fund. The fund is used to pay the cost (including administrative and personnel expenses) of providing education, technical assistance, and training by the Commission. Revenue is recognized as earned when the services have been rendered.
An imputed financing source is recognized to offset costs incurred by the EEOC and funded by another federal source, in the period in which the cost was incurred. The types of costs offset by imputed financing are: (1) employees’ pension benefits; (2) health insurance, life insurance and other post-retirement benefits for employees; and (3) losses in litigation proceedings. Funding from other federal agencies is recorded as an imputed financing source.
(e) Assets and Liabilities
Assets and liabilities presented on the EEOC’s balance sheets include both entity and non-entity balances. Entity assets are assets that the EEOC has authority to use in its operations. Non-entity assets are held and managed by the EEOC, but are not available for use in operations. The EEOC’s non-entity assets represent receivables that, when collected will be transferred to the United States Treasury.
Intra-governmental assets and liabilities arise from transactions between the Commission and other federal entities. All other assets and liabilities result from activity with non-federal entities.
Liabilities covered by budgetary or other resources are those liabilities of the EEOC for which Congress has appropriated funds, or funding is otherwise available to pay amounts due. Liabilities not covered by budgetary or other resources represent amounts owed in excess of available congressionally appropriated funds or other amounts. The liquidation of liabilities not covered by budgetary or other resources is dependent on future congressional appropriations or other funding.
(f) Fund Balance with the U.S. Treasury
Fund Balances with Treasury are cash balances remaining as of the fiscal year-end from which the EEOC is authorized to make expenditures and pay liabilities resulting from operational activity, except as restricted by law. The balance consists primarily of appropriations. The EEOC records and tracks appropriated funds in its general funds. Also included in Fund Balance with Treasury are fees collected for services which are recorded and accounted for in the EEOC’s revolving fund.
(g) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts owed to the EEOC by other federal agencies and from the public.
Intra-governmental accounts receivable represents amounts due from other federal agencies. The receivables are stated net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The method used for estimating the allowance is based on analysis of aging of receivables and historical data.
Accounts receivable from non-federal agencies are stated net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The allowance is determined by considering the debtor’s current ability to pay, their payment record, and willingness to pay and an analysis of aged receivable activity. The allowance for accounts receivable is computed as follows: Accounts receivable between 365 days and 720 days old are computed at 50% and those older than 720 days are calculated at 100%.
(h) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment consist of equipment, leasehold improvements and capitalized software. There are no restrictions on the use or convertibility of property, plant and equipment.
For property, plant and equipment, the EEOC capitalizes equipment (including capital leases) with a useful life of more than 2 years and an acquisition cost of $100,000 or more. Leasehold improvements and capitalized software are capitalized with a useful life of 2 years or more and an acquisition cost of at least $200,000.
Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance for capitalized equipment and capitalized leases are charged to expense as incurred unless the expenditure is equal to or greater than $100,000 and the improvement increases the asset’s useful life by more than 2 years. For Leasehold improvements and capitalized software the amount must be greater than $200,000 or the improvements increases the asset life by more than 2 years.
During fiscal year 2009, the capitalization threshold for equipment and software and repairs and maintenance meeting the criteria was $25,000 and Leasehold improvements was $100,000.
Depreciation or amortization of equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ useful lives ranging from 5 to15 years. Copiers are depreciated using a 5-year life. Computer hardware is depreciated over 10 to 12 years. Capitalized software is amortized over a useful life of 2 years. Amortization of capitalized software begins on the date it is put in service, if purchased, or when the module or component has been successfully tested if developed internally. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the remaining life of the lease.
The EEOC leases the majority of its office space from the General Services Administration. The lease costs approximate commercial lease rates for similar properties.
(i) Advances and Prepaid Expenses
Amounts advanced to EEOC employees for travel are recorded as an advance until the travel is completed and the employee accounts for travel expenses.
Expenses paid in advance of receiving services are recorded as a prepaid expense until the services are received.
(j) Accrued Annual, Sick and Other Leave and Compensatory Time
Annual leave, compensatory time and other leave time, along with related payroll costs, are accrued when earned, reduced when taken, and adjusted for changes in compensation rates. Sick leave is not accrued when earned, but rather expensed when taken.
(k) Retirement Benefits
EEOC employees participate in the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or the Federal Employees’ Retirement System (FERS). On January 1, 1987, FERS went into effect pursuant to Public Law 99-335. Most employees hired after December 31, 1983, are automatically covered by FERS and Social Security. Employees hired prior to January 1, 1984 could elect to either join FERS and Social Security or remain in CSRS.
For employees under FERS, the EEOC contributes an amount equal to 1% of the employee’s basic pay to the tax deferred thrift savings plan and matches employee contributions up to an additional 4% of pay. FERS and CSRS employees can contribute $16,500 of their gross earnings to the plan, for the calendar years 2010 and 2009. However, CSRS employees receive no matching agency contribution. There is also an additional $5,500 that can be contributed as a “catch-up” contribution for those 50 years of age or older, for the calendar years 2010 and 2009.
The EEOC recognizes the full cost of providing future pension and Other Retirement Benefits (ORB) for current employees as required by SFFAS No. 5, Accounting for Liabilities of the Federal Government. Full costs include pension and ORB contributions paid out of EEOC appropriations and costs financed by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The amount financed by OPM is recognized as an imputed financing source. Reporting amounts such as plan assets, accumulated plan benefits, or unfunded liabilities, if any, is the responsibility of OPM.
Liabilities for future pension payments and other future payments for retired employees who participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) and the Federal Employees Group Life Insurance Program (FEGLI) are reported by OPM rather than EEOC.
(l) Workers’ Compensation
A liability is recorded for estimated future payments to be made for workers’ compensation pursuant to the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). The FECA program is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor, (DOL) which initially pays valid claims and subsequently seeks reimbursement from federal agencies employing the claimants. Reimbursements to the DOL on payments made occur approximately 2 years subsequent to the actual disbursement. Budgetary resources for this intra-governmental liability are made available to the EEOC as part of its annual appropriation from Congress in the year that reimbursement to the DOL takes place. A liability is recorded for actual un-reimbursed costs paid by DOL to recipients under FECA.
Additionally, an estimate of the expected future liability for death, disability, medical and miscellaneous costs for approved compensation cases is recorded. The EEOC employs an actuary to compute this estimate using a method that utilizes historical benefit payment patterns related to a specific period to predict the ultimate payments related to the current period. The estimated liability is not covered by budgetary resources and will require future funding. This estimate is recorded as a future liability.
(m) Contingent Liabilities
Contingencies are recorded when losses are probable, and the cost is measurable. When an estimate of contingent losses includes a range of possible costs, the most likely cost is reported, but where no cost is more likely than any other, the lowest possible cost in the range is reported.
(n) Amounts Collected for Restitution
The courts directed an individual to pay amounts to the EEOC as restitution to several claimants named in a court case. These monies will be paid to claimants as directed by the courts.
(o) Cost Allocations to Programs
Costs associated with the EEOC’s various programs consist of direct costs consumed by the program, including personnel costs, and a reasonable allocation of indirect costs. The indirect cost allocations are based on actual hours devoted to each program from information provided by EEOC employees.
(p) Unexpended Appropriations
Unexpended appropriations represent the amount of EEOC’s unexpended appropriated spending authority as of the fiscal year-end that is unliquidated or is unobligated and has not lapsed, been rescinded or withdrawn.
(q) Income Taxes
As an agency of the federal government, EEOC is exempt from all income taxes imposed by any governing body, whether it is a federal, state, commonwealth, local, or foreign government.
(r) Use of Estimates
Management has made certain estimates and assumptions in reporting assets and liabilities and in the footnote disclosures. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, contingent liabilities and future workers’ compensation costs.
(2) Fund Balance with Treasury
Treasury performs cash management activities for all federal agencies. The net activity represents Fund Balance with Treasury. The Fund Balance with Treasury represents the right of the EEOC to draw down funds from Treasury for expenses and liabilities. Fund Balance with Treasury by fund type as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 consists of the following:
|

The status of the fund balance is classified as unobligated available, unobligated unavailable, or obligated. Unobligated funds, depending on budget authority, are generally available for new obligations in the current year of operations. The unavailable amounts are those appropriated in prior fiscal years, which are not available to fund new obligations. The obligated, but not yet disbursed, balance represents amounts designated for payment of goods and services ordered but not yet received, or goods and services received, but for which payment has not yet been made.
The Fund Balance with Treasury includes items for which budgetary resources are not recorded, such as deposit funds and miscellaneous receipts. These funds are shown in the table below as a Non-budgetary Fund Balance with Treasury.
The undelivered orders at the end of the period consist of $32,464,528 and $26,399,459 for FY 2010 and FY 2009, respectively.
For fiscal years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, funds in closed accounts of $2,172,713 and $2,148,575 were returned to Treasury.

(3) Accounts Receivable, Net
Intra-governmental accounts receivable due from federal agencies arise from the sale of services to other federal agencies. This sale of services generally reduces the duplication of effort within the federal government resulting in a lower cost of federal programs and services. While all receivables from federal agencies are considered collectible, an allowance for doubtful accounts is sometimes used to recognize the occasional billing dispute. In FY 2010 and FY 2009, this was not deemed necessary.
Accounts receivable due to EEOC from the public arise from enforcement or prevention and training services provided to public and private entities or state and local agencies. An analysis of accounts receivable is performed to determine collectibility and an appropriate allowance for uncollectible receivables is recorded. The allowance for accounts receivable is computed as follows: Accounts receivable between 365 days and 720 days old are computed at 50% and those older than 720 days years are calculated at 100%. Accounts receivable as of September 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

(9) Contingent Liabilities
EEOC is a party to various administrative proceedings, legal actions and claims that may eventually result in the payment of substantial monetary claims to third parties, or in the reallocation of material budgetary resources. Any financially unfavorable administrative or court decision could be funded from either the various claims to judgment funds maintained by Treasury or paid by EEOC. In FY 2010 and FY 2009 $0 was recorded for contingent liabilities, which are the amounts considered probable and measurable by EEOC’s management and legal counsel. In addition, for FY 2010, there is one claim for which it is reasonably possible that damages will be paid. This pending claim is for overtime to which employees claim they were entitled. The estimated amount of this claim is between three million ($3,000,000) and five million ($5,000,000). The chance of this claim succeeding is less than probable, but more than remote. The agency has and will continue to vigorously contest these claims. In the opinion of EEOC’s management, the ultimate resolution of pending litigation will not have a material effect on the EEOC’s financial statements.
(10) Leases
Capital Leases
The EEOC has several capital leases for copiers in the amount of $193,910 for FY 2010. These leases can be canceled without penalty. The future lease payments and net capital lease liability as of September 30, 2010 is as follows:

None of the future lease payments are covered by budgetary resources.
Operating leases
The EEOC has several cancelable operating leases with the General Services Administration (GSA), for office space which do not have a stated expiration. The GSA charges rent that is intended to approximate commercial rental rates. Rental expenses for operating leases during FYs 2010 and 2009 are $26,761,804 and $28,249,730, respectively. The EEOC has estimated its future minimum liability on GSA operating leases by adding inflationary adjustments to the FY 2010 lease rental expense. Future estimated minimum lease payments, for 5 fiscal years under GSA as of September 30, 2010 are:
