BACKGROUND This audit was requested by President Haeger with the charge to review and document the Office of Alumni Relations’ sources and uses of funds. This audit was not on our audit plan.
ALUMNI RELATIONS The Director of the Office of Alumni Relations (AR) reports to Molly Williams, the Vice President for University Advancement. The former AR Director, Josh Allen, left NAU in April 2006 and a new Director has not yet been hired. Molly Williams and Krista Perkins are acting as Co-Interim Directors. AR’s offices are located in Old Main. AR employs 8 FTE personnel as of 6/30/2006. AR’s mission/vision is: “We provide opportunities for alumni and friends to connect with each other and support NAU. NAU alumni take pride in the university and value a lifelong connection to their alma mater.” AR hosts a series of events with the purpose of connecting with alumni and friends. These events take place throughout Arizona and in other states with high alumni populations, such as California and Colorado. AR’s activities are closely intertwined with University Development (fund-raising). Development Officers attend AR events to develop relationships with prospective alumni donors. For more information see: http://www.naualumni.com AR funding was addressed in two House Bills, signed by Governor Napolitano June 21, 2006:
• HB 2863, which states “The state general fund appropriation shall not be used for alumni association funding.”, and
• HB 2873, which states “…the universities shall not use any tuition or fee revenue to fund or support an alumni association.”
Comment from the Associate Budget Director: Fiscal Year 2007 funding for AR will not come from the state appropriation or from tuition/fee revenue.
NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Northern Arizona University Alumni Association (NAUAA) is an independent non-profit 501(c)3 organization that works closely with AR. NAUAA uses the NAU Foundation to process all of its financial activity. The NAUAA Board of Directors consists of 22 voting volunteer members - 21 elected Board members and the Chair of the NAU Foundation Board. The NAUAA Board elects four officers and accomplishes its tasks through a series of committees. The standing committees are: Executive, Compliance, Resource Development, Nominations, and Traditions. The annual committees, which are renewed on an as-needed basis, are: Communications & Advocacy, Lifelong Learning, and Volunteer/Outreach. There is also a Past Presidents’ Club, composed of all former NAUAA Board presidents, which advises on activities in order to promote the purpose of the Association and stimulate interest and participation of all NAU alumni.
AUDIT OBJECTIVES To determine:
1. the sources and uses of AR funding, 2. whether there is effective control over AR revenues and expenditures, and 3. if AR is in compliance with NAU policies and procedures.
DESCRIPTION OF AUDIT WORK PERFORMED The scope of this audit was fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Historical data included in this report for fiscal years prior to 2005 was not audited. Information was obtained through interviews with:
• the (former) Director of AR, • the Controller of the NAU Foundation, • the Vice President for University Advancement, • University Advancement’s Fiscal Operations Manager, and • other AR and University Advancement staff.
We reviewed the accounting and payroll records in the Advantage and PeopleSoft Systems. We reviewed expenditures, including travel and Purchasing Card, to test for compliance with NAU policy and procedure, and to examine supporting documentation. The NAU Foundation provided us with reports of account activity related to AR. The university’s administration is responsible for establishing and maintaining the internal control structure. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure, errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected by our audit tests. CONCLUSION
1. AR is funded from three sources - (A) university support (from both AR and University Advancement accounts), (B) NAUAA-generated revenue (donations, affinity partnerships, events, endowment earnings) maintained at the NAU Foundation and (C) University Advancement’s NAU Foundation accounts:
Source of Funding FY 05 FY 06University Support from:
AR accounts $702,000 $638,000University Advancement accounts 6,000 0
NAU Foundation Support from:NAUAA accounts 184,000 278,000University Advancement accounts 137,000 224,000
TOTAL EXPENDITURES (Uses) $1,029,000 $1,140,000
AR - SUMMARY OF FUNDING SOURCES & USES
Detail of the above summary financial information is provided as follows: • University Support from AR accounts – Attachment I • University Advancement support of AR – Attachment II, and • NAUAA’s NAU Foundation account activity – Attachment III.

2. Control over AR revenues and expenditures and AR’s accounting practices
require improvement as noted in the recommendations. 3. AR’s compliance with NAU policies and procedures requires improvement as
noted in the recommendations.

Comment by Director of Procurement The former AR Director and other AR employeeswho signed these four contracts were not authorized NAU contract signers. The payments to a company owned by an NAU faculty member were made on departmental purchase orders, which are decentralized purchaseorder documents for amounts less than $5,000. NAU Purchasing Policy 102 sourced from A503 requires a competitive bidding process be completed where an employee is supplying materials or services to the University. It is recognized that a purchasing training course and clarification of posted policy can assist departments with decentralized procurement. Clarification will occur through review, and revision where appropriate, of policies and standard form documents. Training in this area will become part of the normal process required to obtain security access to the University’s Financial System for procurem
