FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

INACCURATE STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

 

      The Foundation did not prepare an accurate Statement of Cash Flows.

 

      During our audit of the Statement of Cash Flows we noted certain inaccuracies in the preparation of the Statement.  These inaccuracies were brought to the attention of Foundation personnel so they could be corrected.  The Foundation was able to correct the Statement with auditor assistance. (Finding 1, Page 8)

 

      We recommended that the Foundation prepare an accurate Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

      Foundation officials stated that they concur with the finding and that they will utilize the account change analysis as a means of verifying the accuracy of the Statement of Cash Flows activity.

 

     

UNCOLLATERALIZED DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS

 

      The Foundation maintained deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage and pledged collateral.

 

      The Foundation’s deposits (bank balances) at various financial institutions totaled $3,806,539 at June 30, 2006.  These deposits exceeded the amount of FDIC coverage by $951,829. (Finding 2, Page 9)

 

      We recommended that the Foundation amend its investment policy to include obtaining sufficient collateral to cover its uninsured deposits.

 

      Foundation officials stated that they will recommend to their Board to amend its investment policy to require collateralization for deposits in excess of insurance coverage.

 

 

AUDITORS' OPINION

 

      Our auditors stated the June 30, 2006 financial statements of the Chicago State University Foundation are fairly presented in all material respects.
