Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors
Council of the Southern Mountains
Northfork, West Virginia
We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of the Council of the
Southern Mountains (the Organization) as of August 31, 2008, and the related
statement of activities and changes in net assets and cash flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Organization's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States of America. 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 the Organization as of August 31, 2008, and the
changes in financial position and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated
November 24, 2008, on our consideration of the Organization's internal control over
financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report
is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and

compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an
audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be
considered in assessing the results of our audit.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial
statements taken as whole. The supplementary information on pages 14 through 20 is
presented for purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
on page 21 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis as required by OMB
Circular A-133, and also is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The
supplementary information and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

COUNCIL OF THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended August 31, 2008
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
The Council of the Southern Mountains (the Organization) is a private, not-forprofit
organization dedicated to helping individuals and families reach their
highest levels of social and economic independence, while assisting the
communities served to become involved in the activities of the Organization. The
Organization collaborates with local, state, and national agencies to provide a
broad range of direct, anti-poverty services for low-income families and their
communities. The Organization's headquarters is located in Northfork, West
Virginia. The Organization is funded primarily though grants and other
agreements with the federal and state government.
The Organization provides services to residents and communities of Southern West
Virginia with an emphasis in McDowell County. Programs include the following:
CSBG Programs
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is a federal, anti-poverty block
grant that funds the operation of a state-administrated network of local agencies.
The purpose of the Community Service Block Grant is to provide assistance to
states and local communities, working through a network of community action
agencies and other neighbor-based organizations, for the reduction of poverty.
Weatherization Program
The mission of the Weatherization Assistance Program is to reduce the heating and
cooling costs for low income families – particularly for the elderly, people with
disabilities, and children – by improving the energy efficiency of their homes and,
thereby, insuring their health and safety. Clients meeting 150 percent of the poverty
guideline are eligible to receive services.
Retired Seniors Volunteer Program
The Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) is a program to recruit and support
volunteers age 55 and over for various community endeavors.
6
Foster Grandparent Program
The Foster Grandparent Program allows participants to serve as mentors, tutors, and
caregivers for children and the youth with special and exceptional needs. Foster
Grandparents serve in community organizations, such as schools and youth centers.
Family Day Care Feeding Program
The purpose of this program is to ensure that children between the ages of birth to 13
eat a nutritious well balanced diet while in the care of an in-home Childcare Provider.
The program provides reimbursement to Certified Family Daycare providers for the
meals that they serve to children in their care. The program serves all children
regardless of income. The Family Daycare Food Program provides training for the
providers on how to prepare meals that meet the USDA guidelines.
Mentoring Child of Promise
The Mentoring Child of Promise Program provides community based one-on-one
mentoring to children with at least one parent incarcerated in the state or federal
correctional system residing in the State of West Virginia. The children, ages 4 through
17, enrolled in the program will be matched with a mentor who will spend quality time
with them. The mentors will be volunteers who have passed a CIB background check
and will have attended the program's orientation and training session before being
matched with a child. The mentor will strive to involve the child in community activities
which provide opportunities for social interaction, while providing healthy messages
about life and social behavior.
Title XIX
The Title XIX program provides leadership in seeking increased levels of service for
individuals with behavioral health needs. These individuals need skills and training that
would lead to full participation within their communities through development of their
abilities. Individuals with developmental disabilities require specialized interventions to
be utilized for treatment, training, social interaction, meaningful employment, and pursuit
of their own life goals.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Reporting
The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are
recognized when incurred.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions
and highly liquid instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less.
Inventory
In accordance with grant award budgets approved by funding sources, inventory is
expensed in the period purchased instead of being capitalized and expensed when
consumed.
Accounts Receivable and Grants Receivable
Management considers accounts receivable and grants receivable fully collectible at
August 31, 2008.
Capital Assets
The Organization purchases the majority of its property and equipment with funds
provided by restrictive grants. Property and equipment purchased with funds from
such grants are subject to restrictions regarding use and disposition. Property and
equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets.
Items of property and equipment acquired with grant funds are subject to various
restrictions regarding their use by the Organization.
Additionally, under certain circumstances, the grantor agency may request return of
the property and equipment or, if sold, the proceeds from the sale of the property
and equipment.
Items of property and equipment purchased with grant funds are not reported as
contributions as grantors expect to receive commensurate value from the Organization.
8
Net Asset Classification
Net assets of the Organization and changes therein are classified and reported as
follows:
Unrestricted Net Assets – Unrestricted net assets that are not subject to donorimposed
stipulations.
Temporarily and Permanently Restricted Net Assets – Net assets subject to
donor-imposed stipulations that will be met either by actions of Council of
the Southern Mountains and/or the passage of time.
Donor Restrictions
The Organization reports gifts of cash and other assets as restricted support if they are
received with donor stipulations that limit the use of the donated assets. When a donor
restriction expires, that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction
is accomplished, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified as unrestricted
net assets and reported in the Statement of Activities as net assets released from
restrictions. When capital assets are placed in service, thus satisfying purpose
restrictions, the amount is included as a change in net assets, restricted and
unrestricted. Donor-restricted contributions, whose restrictions are met within the same
year as received, are reflected as unrestricted contributions in the accompanying
financial statements.
Unconditional promises to give cash and other assets are reported at fair value at
the date the promise is received. Conditional promises to give and indications of
intentions to give are reported at fair value at the date the gift is received.
The Organization reports gifts of equipment or other capital assets as unrestricted
support unless donor stipulations specify how the donated assets must be used. Gifts
of capital assets with explicit restrictions that specify how the assets are to be used and
gifts of cash or other assets that must be used to acquire capital assets are reported as
restricted support.
For absent explicit donor restrictions about how long the capital assets must be
maintained, the Organization reports expiration of donor restrictions when the
donated or acquired capital assets are placed in service.
Grant Revenues
Grant revenues related to the provision of services and/or the incurrence of qualified
expenses are reported as unrestricted revenues if they are based on the premise
that the grantor, generally governmental agencies, provided the funding or transferred
assets in exchange transactions whereby the grantor expects to receive commensurate
value.
9
Capital assets provided by the grantor and cash provided explicitly for the purpose of
acquiring capital assets are capitalized.
The Organization has received substantial grant funding for capital assets. Certain
obligations relating to the use of the assets exist, including potential return of the
assets to the grantor agency or proceeds received from the sale of the assets.
Cost Allocation
The Organization has adopted a cost allocation plan whereby each program is charged
its fair share of the Organization's indirect costs. Indirect costs are those costs incurred
for a common purpose benefiting or supporting all the Organization's programs and
activities and can not be identified as benefiting a specific program or activity. Indirect
costs are accumulated in an indirect cost pool and are allocated to the various programs
in proportion to the program's direct salaries and benefits to total direct salaries and
benefits.
Interest
All interest costs incurred during the year ended August 31, 2008, have been
expensed and are included in the other operating expenses in the Statement of
Activities.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs have been expensed and are included in other operating
expenses in the Statement of Activities.
Income Taxes
The Council of the Southern Mountains is a not-for-profit organization and has been
recognized as tax exempt pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Donated Services, Space and Other
Donated (in-kind) matching is required by certain funding sources. Donated space is
valued at the estimated fair rental value. Donated other is valued at the estimated
fair market value at the date of receipt.

REPORTS ON INTERNAL CONTROL AND ON COMPLIANCE
23
REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED
ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To The Board of Directors
Council of the Southern Mountains
Northfork, West Virginia
We have audited the financial statements of Council of the Southern Mountains (the
Organization) as of and for the year ended August 31, 2008, and have issued our report
thereon dated November 24, 2008. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards
applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered the Organization's internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose
of expressing our opinions on the financial statements but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Organization's internal control over financial reporting.
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. A significant deficiency is a
control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the
Organization'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 Organization's financial
statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the
Organization's internal control.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement
of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the Organization's
internal control.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly,
would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be
material weaknesses. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial
reporting and its operations that we consider to be a material weakness.
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Organization's financial
statements 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 the determination of financial
statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such
an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other
matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Directors of the
Organization, the West Virginia State Auditor's Office and other federal and state
agencies and is not intended to be used and should not be used by anyone other than
these specified parties. However in accordance with West Virginia Code 6-9-9a, this
report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS
APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM
AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH OMB CIRCULAR A-133
To The Board of Directors
Council of the Southern Mountains
Northfork, West Virginia
Compliance
We have audited the compliance of the Council of the Southern Mountains (the
Organization) with the types of compliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are
applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended August 31, 2008.
The Organization's major federal programs are identified in the accompanying Schedule
of Findings or Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws,
regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of the major federal programs is the
responsibility of the Organization's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Organization's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of compliance 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 Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit
Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with
the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and
material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence about the Organization's compliance with those requirements and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Organization's compliance with
those requirements. In our opinion, the Organization complied, in all material respects,
with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal
programs for the year ended August 31, 2008.

Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of the Organization is responsible for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations,
contracts and grants applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our
audit, we considered the Organization's internal control over compliance with
requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on
compliance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the
effectiveness of Organization's internal control over compliance.
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 noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal
program on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or
combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to
administer a federal program such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a
noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program is more than
inconsequential 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 more than a remote likelihood that a material noncompliance
requirement of a federal program 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 first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all
deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly,
would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be
material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be a material weakness.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, the Board of
Directors, federal awarding agencies, and pass-through entities and is not intended to
be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties.
