INTRODUCTION

We performed a financial-compliance audit of Montana State University (MSU) and the related Cooperative Extension Service fCES) and Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1985. The objectives of the audit were to:

1. determine if the university complied with applicable laws and regulations which could have a significant effect on the financial statements;

2. determine if the financial statements present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the univer- sity for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1985; and

3. make recommendations for improvements in the manage- ment and internal accounting controls of the university.

This report contains seven recommendations to the university. These recommendations address areas where compliance with laws and regulations, management, internal control, and financial re- porting can be improved. Other areas of concern deemed not to have a significant effect on the successful operations of the uni- versity programs are not specifically included in the report, but have been discussed with management.

In accordance with section 5-13-307, MCA, we analyzed the costs of implementing the recommendations made in this report. Each report section discloses the cost, if significant, of imple- menting the recommendation.

BACKGROUND

Montana State University was founded on February 15, 1893, as the Agricultural College of the state of Montana, and instruction started on April 17 of that year. The school was later named Montana State College, and on July 1, 1965, it became Montana State University (MSU). The university is a land-grant institution as authorized by the Morrill Act of 1862 and receives part of its support from land-grant income, as well as state appropriations, student fees, and federal and private grants.

The public service function of the university had its origin in the establishment of the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) in 1915, created under the federal Smith-Lever Act and state legis- lation. Financial support for its operation comes from county, state, and federal governments, as well as from federal and pri- vate grants. County agents and specialists are an integral part of the university and channel information to Montanans to aid in solving home, farm, and community problems.

The Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) is also an integral part of the university. It was established in 1893 by the Montana Legislature under authorization provided by the federal Hatch Act of 1887. The station receives federal funds under the Hatch Act, as well as state appropriations, federal and private grants, and funds from the sale of surplus agricultural products. The Agri- cultural Experiment Station has eight locations in the state, ex- cluding the Bozeman campus. The station components are devoted to solving present and future agricultural and home economics problems of local, regional, and national concern. The distribution of research centers is such that the peculiarities of local or area soil, water, and climate can be considered.

The president of Montana State University is the chief execu- tive officer for all three units: MSU, AES, and CES. The presi- dent is responsible for the immediate direction, management, and control of the institution under the general supervision and direc- tion of the Board of Regents.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE

We have examined the financial statements of MSU, AES, and CES for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1985, and have issued our report thereon dated February 14, 1986. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Standards for Audits of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions, Office Management and Budget (0MB) Circulars A-21 and A-110, and the March 1984 student aid audit guide prescribed by the U.S. Department of Education. Accordingly,

we reviewed the state and federal laws and regulations applicable to the university's operations. Areas reviewed include specific state laws which could have a material impact on the university's financial operations, specific grant provisions, cost allowability, eligibility, and grantor reporting. For the items tested, except for the items discussed in the following sections of this report, we found the university complied with applicable laws and regulations. Nothing came to our attention that causes us to believe untested compliance items are not in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Hourly Pay Issues

As part of the regular audit process, MSU officials provide the Legislative Auditor's Office information regarding internal audits they have performed during the audit period or are currently working on. At the end of our audit, we reviewed one internal audit which dealt with issues concerning adherence to state and federal laws and Board of Regents rules governing hiring policies and compensation for student and non-student hourly employment.

The first issue addressed the legality of MSU hiring hourly employees without regard to the state pay classification plan. Board of Regents policy (Montana University System Policy and Procedures Manual, section 707), states: "The state classification system shall apply to all non-academic employees of the Montana University System not on individual Board of Regent's contracts."

The second issue addressed MSU not paying overtime for temporary hourly employees working in excess of 40 hours per week. This is a violation of state statutes and the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

MSU personnel are currently working with the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education to resolve the concerns addressed in the internal audit report. Personnel Services and the Financial Aid Office at MSU are in the process of developing systems which will monitor and report any individual who works in excess of 40 hours per week to ensure overtime is paid.

Due to the corrective actions MSU is currently taking to address the policy and compliance issues raised in the internal audit report, we are disclosing these compliance issues for infor- mational purposes and make no recommendation at this time. During the next audit, we will follow up on these issues to ensure MSU adequately resolves them.

Funding Levels

Student enrollment is a factor used by the legislature when it determines state funding levels for each unit of the Montana Uni- versity System. Each unit converts its enrollment figures into full-time equivalents (FTEs).

The Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education (CHE) has established policies outlined in the "Registrars' Manual for Reporting Enrollment Data" for the university units to follow in reporting enrollment information. One of the reports CHE requires is the "Summary of Restricted Enrollments and Student Classifica- tions." The criteria for this report states that enrollments gen- erated by restricted funds must be identified so they may be removed from the total enrollment figures utilized to generate state funding. It further states that restricted enrollments mean stu- dent credit hours generated in any course or program in which the instructor's teaching responsibilities are funded by sources outside the regular operating budget (current unrestricted) of the institu- tion. Because MSU receives funding other than state (current unrestricted) moneys for some of its academic programs, MSU should eliminate the FTEs associated with this type of funding from the total FTE counts to properly determine state funding levels.

MSU generates a report based on quarterly statistics showing the student credit hours and associated FTE levels produced by grant and contract (restricted) funding. These restricted enroll- ment figures indicate the necessary reductions to total FTEs needed to be made in order to properly compute state funding. We noted that, although the Military Science program is partially federally funded, MSU does not factor out the applicable FTEs in

computing the state funded FTE levels. The FTEs associated with the Military Science program were 28.53 in fiscal year 1983-84 and 29.82 in fiscal year 1984-85. MSU reports these FTE because the instructor salaries are paid directly by the federal government and are not supported through a MSU grant and contract account. Therefore, MSU does not consider these FTE to be restricted enrollments. As defined in regents policy. Military Science FTEs clearly meet the restricted criteria and MSU should identify and remove them from enrollment figures used to generate state fund- ing.

A university official estimated the General Fund support per FTE is approximately $2,648 during fiscal years 1983-84 and 1984-85. Since MSU did not remove the FTEs associated with the Military Science program, MSU received a maximum of approximately $77,255 additional funding for each of the fiscal years 1983-84 and 1984-85.

RECOMMENDATION #1

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY REPORT STUDENT FTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGENTS POLICY.

Student V>^ithdrawai Notices

Federal regulations (34 CFR Part 682] require schools to notify lenders who issue students Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL) whenever the students graduate, withdraw, or cease to be enrolled at least half-time. The notification is to be made within 60 days of the withdrawal. MSU uses the Student Confirmation Report (SCR), which discloses the status of GSL students, as a source for lender notification. The Student Confirmation Report is initiated by a private company contracted by the state to act as an information pool and processing facility for the Montana Guaranteed Student Loan Program. The company sends the report to MSU's financial aid office each May and October. The financial aid office sends the report to the registrar's office. The registrar's office

indicates the enrollment status of each student and sends the report back to the financial aid office. The report is sent back to the company who then uses the information to update its data base and notify applicable lenders. In those instances where notifica- tion of lenders within 60 days cannot be met via the SCR process, MSU notifies the lenders directly. In a sample of four students who met the above criteria, we found one instance where MSU did not notify the lender of the change in the student's status because MSU did not complete the SCR report for the period covering spring quarter 1984.

In order to determine the approximate number of students affected, we reviewed the SCRs for the period just prior and subsequent to the period notification was not made. The SCR for the fall of 1983 showed approximately 400 students who were not enrolled at least half-time and about 800 for the fall of 1984. Since the report for the spring of 1984 was not issued, the fall 1984 report contained the students for both spring and fall. Based on this data, we estimate lenders were not informed of 400 students who had GSLs and were less than half-time as of spring quarter 1984.

Beginning in spring quarter 1985, MSU revised its time consuming manual reporting system to an automated one. This system compares a computerized listing of students with GSLs to those students who are not registered at least half-time. A listing is generated for those students meeting the match and MSU then notifies the lenders.

After reviewing the procedures employed at MSU to update and complete the SCRs, we determined the procedures appear adequate to ensure these reports are completed and lenders are notified. Therefore, we are only disclosing the compliance issue and do not make a recommendation at this time. We will follow up on MSU's revised reporting system during the next audit and re-evaluate its adequacy to meet federal regulations and reporting requirements.

Purchasing

State law (section 18-it-221, MCA) states the Department of Administration (DofA), shall govern the procurement of all supplies and services to be procured by the state. The DofA, Purchasing Division, acts as the state's central purchasing agent. The pur- pose of having a centralized function is to provide state agencies with necessary supplies and materials at a reduced cost through quantity discounts and lower overhead. The Department of Admin- istration has delegated purchasing authority to the Cooperative Extension Service Multilith Department for purchases up to $2,000.

In our previous two audits we found the Multilith Department of the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) was not properly using Central Purchasing for paper purchases. We reviewed a sample of purchases greater than $2,000 to ensure Multilith was complying with purchasing policies. We found that in five instances Multilith did not use Central Purchasing as required. These purchases ranged from slightly above $2,000 to over $17,000.

Multilith personnel explained they do not always use Central Purchasing because they believe they can usually get a better quality paper more suited to their printing needs at a lower cost and in less time than Central Purchasing can deliver. In fiscal year 1983-84, Multilith requested delegated authority for purchases up to $30,000 from DofA. However, DofA denied this request. Because CES has an exemption only for purchases up to $2,000, Multilith purchases greater than $2,000 are in violation of state purchasing policies.

In addition, federally sponsored projects use Multilith ser- vices. Federal regulations (0MB Circular A-21 section C3) states that one -of the factors affecting allowability of costs is that the costs claimed for federal reimbursement must be consistent with state laws and regulations.

RECOMMENDATION #2

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY FOLLOW STATE PURCHAS- ING LAWS AND POLICIES.

Cash Management

During fiscal year 1984-85, the university received approxi- mately $16 million of federal moneys for federally assisted grants, contracts, and student aid. The university receives these funds through cash requests or drawdowns. Because drawdowns are predominantly on a reimbursement basis and are requested on a monthly or longer basis, there is a time lag between an expendi- ture and subsequent reimbursement that is filled by using state funds. Based on our analysis of balances in federal accounts, we estimated MSU's use of state funds to cover federal cash shortfalls due to the time lag is costing the state approximately $50,000 per year in lost interest.

According to university personnel, one of the reasons MSU needs state funds to cover federal cash shortfalls is because of the timing of drawdowns. Drawdowns are generally made during the first 10 days of the month prior to the payroll costs being paid. If MSU were to request federal funds more frequently and also at the time the payroll expenses are paid, it should help reduce the amount of state funds needed to temporarily support federal proj- ects. MSU personnel also indicated that in the past, insufficient staff made frequent drawdowns unrealistic. Since the hiring of additional staff, it should be feasible for MSU to request more fre- quent drawdowns. A certain amount of time lag can be expected, however, we believe MSU could substantially reduce the time lag through more frequent drawdowns.

Federal regulations (0MB Circular A-1 10 Attachment F(2e)) state the recipient shall make drawdowns as close as possible to the time of making disbursements. State law (section 17-2-108, MCA), requires agencies to use non-General Fund moneys wherever possible before using General Fund moneys. These federal and state requirements advocate the use of frequent drawdowns in order to minimize lost interest on state or federal funds.

RECOMMENDATION #3

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY REQUEST FEDERAL MON- EYS IN A MANNER WHICH WILL MINIMIZE THE NECESSITY FOR THE STATE TO ADVANCE CASH TO FEDERAL PRO- CRAMS.

Inter-Entity Loans

State law (section 1 7-2-1 07(2) , MCA] states that when an expenditure of an appropriation is necessary and there is an insufficient amount of cash, the Department of Administration may authorize a cash transfer (inter-entity loan) of unrestricted moneys from other accounts, provided there is reasonable evidence that income provided for the remainder of the year will be suffi- cient to restore the transferred amount. The loan must be repaid by the end of the fiscal year unless an extension is granted by the Department of Administration. Extensions may be granted for one additional fiscal year if the Department of Administration receives sufficient written justification that the loan is for the sole purpose of:

a) repairing or replacing property damage covered by insurance; or

b) payment of expenses which will later be reimbursed by certain receipts as detailed in 17-2-107(3), MCA.

In addition, section 17-2-107(6), MCA, states that no accounting entity may have a negative cash balance at fiscal year-end.

Just prior to fiscal year-end 1983-84 and 1984-85, AES and CES had negative cash balances in certain designated funds. Since this was in violation of section 17-2-107(6), MCA, and to comply with generally accepted accounting principles, MSU recorded inter-entity loans to correct the negative cash balances. However, since the loans were not in accordance with sections 17-2-107(2) and (3), MCA, the Department of Administration did not authorize

them. The Department of Administration processed the loans without giving its approval.

The problems noted with inter-entity loans are not confined to MSU. The overall issue of inter-entity loans is further addressed in the Department of Administration's report for fiscal years 1983-84 and 1984-85. The Department of Administration has acknow- ledged that this issue exists and intends to address, at least in part, this issue in the next legislative session. MSU should establish cash controls that will ensure compliance with state laws and accounting policies.

RECOMMENDATION #4

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY ESTABLISH PROCEDURES

TO FORECAST CASH NEEDS TO ENSURE POSITIVE CASH

BALANCES ARE MAINTAINED IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE

LAWS.

Expenditure Accruals

According to state law (section 17-7-302, MCA) and account- ing policies (MOM 2-1420 and Management Memo 2-85-3), agencies are allowed to accrue expenditures at fiscal year-end for any valid obligations. An agency has a valid obligation when it has re- quested goods or services through a valid purchase order or inter-agency or intra-agency agreement or has received those goods or services but has not yet paid for them.

We found MSU accrued $32,600 for a deferred plant mainte- nance project for which MSU had not received the goods nor had a valid maintenance work order agreement been issued. Plant per- sonnel indicated the accrual was made to use available funds for a project to replace windows in one of the campus buildings as soon as the plans were final. Since MSU did not have a valid obliga- tion, the accrual was not valid under state accounting policies. MSU would have reverted $32,600 of appropriation authority if this accrual had not been made.

10

We also found that during fiscal year 1983-84 MSU received $132,399 of services through computer use agreements. MSU did not accrue these expenditures at fiscal year-end 1983-84. When MSU paid these expenditures, it recorded them as fiscal year 1984-85 expenditures. Since MSU had received the services, it should have accrued the expenditures.

In addition, at fiscal year-end 1983-84 CES accrued $3,466 related to two purchases. However, CES did not receive a pur- chase order for these items until July of fiscal year 1984-85. Since CES did not have a valid obligation at June 30, 1984, the accrual was not valid under state accounting policies. If CES reverses these accruals, it will not cause a General Fund reversion because Chapter 710, Laws of 1983 allowed CES to carry over fiscal year 1983-84 unused appropriation balance into fiscal year 1984-85 to fund vacancy savings.

RECOMMENDATION #5

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY:

A. ACCRUE EXPENDITURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

B. CORRECT INVALID EXPENDITURE ACCRUALS.

Cash Deposits

State law (section 17-6-105(6), MCA) requires all moneys received be deposited each day when the accumulated amount of coin and currency exceeds $100 or total collections exceed $500. In any event, all moneys collected shall be deposited at least weekly. During our testing we noted Multilith collections were not deposited on a timely basis. We reviewed deposits made between July 1984 and April 1985. During this time period Multilith deposited collections once or twice a month. These deposits ranged from $207 to $3,000. Multilith personnel indicated this occurs because of busy schedules and wanting to ensure deposits are accurate. The failure to deposit receipts on a timely basis results in lost interest on the undeposited amounts during the time period the deposits are delayed and increases possibility of loss.

11

RECOMMENDATION #6

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY DEPOSIT RECEIPTS ON A

TIMELY BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW.

EQUIPMENT

MSU, AES, and CES had approximately $45.5 million of equip- ment recorded on its respective Net Investment in Plant Fund at June 30, 1985, During our audit, we noted the following problems:

1. MSU did not delete, from its property listing, all equip- ment which had been disposed of in previous years. For instance, we noted a mass spectrometer valued at $100,000 and a Sigma computer valued at $345,457 were still on the listing even though MSU had disposed of them. MSU should ensure all items disposed of are removed from its property listing,

2. MSU recorded service shop, chemical store, on-campus living and Multilith inventories in its property listing. MSU also recorded these inventories on the financial statements in the Current Funds. Since inventories are not fixed assets, MSU should exclude them from its property listing.

3. MSU did not tag numerous equipment items. For example, we noted many dining hall items and musical instruments were not tagged. To safeguard items, state policy requires all items over $200 be tagged or otherwise identified as state property. MSU should ensure all items are tagged. For those items where placing tags on them is not feasible, MSU should consider alternatives, such as engraving, to identify them as state property.

RECOMMENDATION #7

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY:

A. IMPROVE CONTROLS TO ENSURE ALL ITEMS DISPOSED OF AND ALL INVENTORIES ARE DELETED FROM ITS PROPERTY RECORDS.

B. ENSURE ALL STATE EQUIPMENT ITEMS ARE TAGGED AS STATE PROPERTY.

12

INTERNAL CONTROL

We have examined the financial statements of the Montana State University (MSU), Montana Cooperative Extension Service (CES), and Montana Agricultural Experiment Station (AES) for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1985. We issued our opinions dated February 14, 1986, on these statements. As part of our examination, we made a study and evaluation of the system of internal control of the university. Our study evaluated the system as required by generally accepted auditing standards and Standards for Audits of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions for financial and compliance audits. We classified the controls in the following categories:

1. revenue/ receipts;

2. operating expenditures;

3. payroll;

4. accounts payable/interfund loans payable;

5. accounts receivable/interfund loans receivable;

6. plant, property, and equipment;

7. inventory;

8. cash;

9. contracts and grants;

10. student financial aid; and

11. investments.

Our study included the control categories listed above. Through our study, we determined the nature, timing, and extent of our auditing procedures. We applied alternative audit tests to cash, inventory, investments, accounts payable, and accounts receivable because the audit could be performed more efficiently by expand- ing substantive audit work. We did not evaluate the control system to the extent necessary to give an opinion on either indi- vidual segments or the system as a whole.

The management of the university is responsible for establish- ing and maintaining a system of accounting control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of a system are to provide management with reasonable assurance that: 1) assets are safe-

13

guarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition; 2) transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization; and 3) transactions are recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Inherent limitations in any system of controls may cause errors or irregularities to remain undetected. The current system evaluation should not be used to project to future periods since procedures may become inadequate or compli- ance with them may deteriorate.

The limited purpose study described in the first paragraph would not necessarily disclose all material weaknesses in the sys- tem. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the system of controls used by the university. However, our study and evalua- tion disclosed no conditions that we believe to be a material weak- ness.

The preceding four paragraphs are intended solely for the use of management and the legislature and should not be used for any other purpose. This restriction as to use is not intended to limit the distribution of this document which, upon presentation to the Legislative Audit Committee, is a matter of public record.

PRIOR AUDIT RECOMMENDATIONS

Our last financial-compliance audit and student financial aid audit of the university for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1983, contained ten recommendations applicable to the university. The university implemented six of the recommendations, partially implemented three of the recommendations, and did not implement one of the recommendations. The recommendations which the university partially implemented concern recording construction in progress, compliance with state law concerning surplus property, and final determinations of questioned federal costs. These rec- ommendations were not included in the report but have been discussed with management. The recommendation which the uni- versity did not implement concerns CES purchasing and is dis- cussed on page 7.

LEGAL COUNSEL:

JOHNW. NORTHEY

The Legislative Audit Committee of the Montana State Legislature;

We have examined the accompanying Balance Sheets of Montana State University (MSU) at June 30, 1984 and June 30, 1985, and the related Statements of Changes in Fund Balances and Current Funds Revenues, Expenditures, and Other Changes for each of the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1985. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Standards for Audits of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

The financial statements presented are only for Montana State University. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present fairly the financial position of the state of Montana as of June 30, 1984 and 1985 or the results of its operations and changes in its fund balances for the two fiscal years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The bond payable footnote did not provide adequate disclo- sure. Adequate footnote disclosure for bonds payable should include a summary of the interest rates and repayment amount for each of the next five years on the bonds and a combined amount due following the five year repayment.

15

In our opinion, except for tiie effects discussed in paragrapin three, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position of Montana State University as of June 30, 1984 and June 30, 1985, the changes in its fund balances, and the current funds revenues, expenditures, and other changes for each of the two years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which have been applied on a consistent basis.

Our examination was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedules of Grant Expenditures for fiscal years ended June 30, 1984 and 1985, and the Schedule of Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) Students for the two years ending June 30, 1985 prepared in accordance with the U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the Regis- trar's Manual for Reporting Enrollment Data reporting requirements are presented as supplemental information and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. This information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our examination of the basic financial statements. In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter discussed in paragraph three, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1 . Summary of significant accounting policies

Related parties:

Montana State University, Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and Montana Cooperative Extension Service are related through common management and control; however, they are separate and distinct agencies and they receive separate federal and state appropriations. These agencies have certain related-party transactions, including sharing office facilities, management, accounting and office ser- vices. The accounts of Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and Montana Cooperative Extension Service have not been included in the accompanying financial statements.

Financial Statements:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the ac- crual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting princi- ples for colleges and universities except as noted hereafter.

The statement of current funds revenues, expenditures and other changes is a statement of financial activities of current funds related to the current reporting period and does not purport to present the re- sults of operations or the net income or loss for the period.

Fund balance for unrestricted general operating funds includes $50,925 allocated for encumbrances and $20,520 prior period revenue overage netted to the unfunded liability of $3,278,410 for compen- sated absences payable. Fund balance for unrestricted designated funds includes positive fund balances of $111,005 netted to the unfunded liability of $245,374 for compensated absences payable.

Per recommendation of the Legislative Auditor's Office and concur- rence by the Financial Aid Office at the University, $69,163 of restricted current funds scholarship were reclassified to agency funds because the awards recipients are selected by parties outside the institution.

Fund accounting:

The accounts of the University are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting wherein resources are classified for accounting purposes into funds that are identified by the limita- tions and restrictions placed upon their use. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund; however, accounts with common characteris- tics are combined into fund groups and reflected as such in the accompanying financial statements. The common characteristics of the funds contained in the various fund groups are as follows:

Current funds :

The current funds group includes economic resources expendable in performing the primary objectives of the University, i.e.,

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting (continued) :

Current funds (continued) :

Instruction, Research and Public Service. The current funds group has two basic distinct sub-groups; unrestricted funds which have no expenditure restrictions, and restricted funds which have expenditure restrictions. Unrestricted current funds are comprised of the following:

General Operating - utilized for general operations in performing the primary objectives of the University.

Designated - utilized for educational related service activities; these funds are separately classified in order to acciunulate and distinguish the costs of these special- ized service or function areas.

Auxiliary Enterprises - utilized in providing essential on- campus services primarily to students, faculty, and staff.

Student loan funds:

The resources from this group of funds are available to stu- dents to aid in financing their education. Funds for the loans are provided by private and University sources with the major- ity of the funds being provided by the Federal Government.

Endowment funds :

Endowment funds are funds with specific restrictions negating the expenditure of the principal. Generally, the principal is to be maintained in perpetuity and invested for the purpose of producing income.

Plant funds :

Plant funds are separated into four distinct self-balancing sub-group accounts:

Unexpended plant - utilized for acquisition of long-term institutional assets.

Renewal and replacement - utilized for long-term institu- tional asset maintenance.

Retirement of indebtedness - utilized for interest and debt retirement.

Investment in plant - denotes the cost of long-term in- stitutional assets and related liabilities.

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Inventories:

Inventories, which consist mainly of food and operating supplies, are valued at cost (first-in, first-out method).

Investments :

Investments are carried at cost, which approximate market value at June 30, 1985.

Plant and equipment:

At June 30, 1985, investment in plant was adjusted $554,420 to reflect the totals in the property control subsidiaries. Livestock is carried at current market value with any difference from the prior year values recorded in the plant fund.

Depreciation:

No provision has been made for depreciation of plant facilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for col- leges and universities.

Allowance for Bad Debts:

Except for Loan Funds, an allowance for bad debts has not been recorded. Losses from bad debts in other funds are recorded as adjustments to revenue in the year in which they are deemed uncol- lectable.

Allocated for encumbrances:

The University records encumbrances of general operating funds as expenditures in conformance with the Statewide Budgeting and Account- ing System.

At June 30, 1985, the University had encumbered $50,925 of general operating funds that are not included in expenditures in the accom- panying financial statements. The accrual basis of accounting provides that expenditures include only amounts associated with goods and services received and that liabilities include only the unpaid amounts associated with such transactions.

Unearned tuition and fees:

Summer school tuition and fee revenues are deferred at June 30 and recorded as revenue in the succeeding fiscal year.

2. Endowment funds - land grants

Montana State University benefits from two separate land grants. The first granted 90,000 acres for the University under provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862 and the second, under the Enabling Act of 1889, granted an additional 50,000 acres for the University.

Under provisions of both grants, income from the sale of land and land assets must be reinvested and constitutes, along with the bal- ance of the unsold land, a perpetual endowment fund. The State of Montana, State Land Board administers both grants and holds all assets .

Investment income from the first grant may be used for current operations of the University and is reported as current unrestricted funds revenue. Investment income from the second grant is currently pledged to the retirement of the December 1, 1984 - Series 1984 Indenture revenue bonds and is reported as revenue in the retirement of indebtedness fund.

3. Investments

Investments at June 30, 1985 consist of the following:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1 . Summary of significant accounting policies

Related parties:

Montana State University, Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and Montana Cooperative Extension Service are related through conunon management and control; however, they are separate and distinct agencies and they receive separate federal and state appropriations. These agencies have certain related-party transactions, including sharing office facilities, management, accounting and office ser- vices. The accounts of Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and Montana Cooperative Extension Service have not been included in the accompanying financial statements.

Financial Statements:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the ac- crual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting princi- ples for colleges and universities except as noted hereafter.

The statement of current funds revenues, expenditures and other changes is a statement of financial activities of current funds re- lated to the current reporting period and does not purport to pre- sent the results of operations or the net income or loss for the period.

Fund balance for unrestricted general operating funds includes $140,806 allocated for encumbrances and $7,364 prior period revenue overage netted to the unfunded liability of $3,140,356 for compen- sated absences payable.

Fund accounting:

The accounts of the University are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting wherein resources are classified for accounting purposes into funds that are identified by the limita- tions and restrictions placed upon their use. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund; however, accounts with common characteris- tics are combined into fund groups and reflected as such in the accompanying financial statements. The common characteristics of the funds contained in the various fund groups are as follows:

Current funds :

The current funds group includes economic resources expendable in performing the primary objectives of the University, i.e., Instruction, Research and Public Service. The current funds group has two basic distinct sub-groups; unrestricted funds which have no expenditure restrictions, and restricted funds which have expenditure restrictions. Unrestricted current funds are comprised of the following:

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting (continued):

Current funds (continued):

General Operating - utilized for general operations in performing the primary objectives of the University.

Designated - utilized for educational related service activities; these funds are separately classified in order to accumulate and distinguish the costs of these special- ized service or function areas.

Auxiliary Enterprises - utilized in providing essential on-campus services primarily to students, faculty, and staff.

Student loan funds:

The resources from this group of funds are available to stu- dents to aid in financing their education. Funds for the loans are provided by private and University sources with the major- ity of the funds being provided by the Federal Government.

Endowment funds:

Endowment funds are funds with specific restrictions negating the expenditure of the principal. Generally, the principal is to be maintained in perpetuity and invested for the purpose of producing income.

Plant funds:

Plant funds are separated into four distinct self-balancing sub-group accounts:

Unexpended plant - utilized for acquisition of long-term institutional assets.

Renewal and replacement - utilized for long-term institu- tional asset maintenance.

Retirement of indebtedness - utilized for interest and debt retirement.

Investment in plant - denotes the cost of long-term in- stitutional assets and related liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1984

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Inventories :

Inventories, which consist mainly of food and operating supplies, are valued at cost (first-in, first-out method).

Investments:

Investments are carried at cost, which approximate market value at June 30, 1984.

Plant and equipment:

At June 30, 1984, investment in plant was adjusted $550,782 to reflect the totals in the property control subsidiaries. Livestock is carried at current market value with any difference from the prior year values recorded in the plant fund.

Depreciation:

No provision has been made for depreciation of plant facilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for col- leges and universities.

Allowance for Bad Debts:

Except for Loan Funds, an allowance for bad debts has not been

recorded. Losses from bad debts in other funds are recorded as

adjustments to revenue in the year in which they are deemed uncol- lectable.

Allocated for encumbrances:

The University records encumbrances of general operating funds as expenditures in conformance with the Statewide Budgeting and Account- ing System.

At June 30, 1984, the University had encumbered $140,806 of general operating funds that are not included in expenditures in the accom- panying financial statements. The accrual basis of accounting provides that expenditures include only amounts associated with goods and services received and that liabilities include only the unpaid amounts associated with such transactions.

Unearned tuition and fees:

Summer school tuition and fee revenues are deferred at June 30 and recorded as revenue in the succeeding fiscal year.

Eadowment funds - land grants

Montana State University benefits from two separate land grants. The first granted 90,000 acres for the University under provisions of the Morrill Act of 1862 and the second, under the Enabling Act of 1889, granted an additional 50,000 acres for the University.

Under provisions of both grants, income from the sale of land and land assets must be reinvested and constitutes, along with the bal- ance of the unsold land, a perpetual endowment fund. The State of Montana, State Land Board administers both grants and holds all assets.

Investment income from the first grant may be used for current operations of the University and is reported as current unrestricted funds revenue. Investment income from the second grant is currently pledged to the retirement of the April 15, 1984 indenture revenue bonds and is reported as revenue in the retirement of indebtedness fund.

Investments

LEGAL COUNSEL:

JOHN W. NORTHEY

The Legislative Audit Committee of the Montana State Legislature:

We have examined the accompanying Balance Sheets of the Agricultural Experiment Station CAES) at June 30, 1984 and June 30, 1985, and the related Statements of Changes in Fund Balances and Current Funds Revenues, Expenditures, and Other Changes for the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1985. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Standards for Audits of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

The financial statements presented are only for the Agricul- tural Experiment Station. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present fairly the financial position of the state of Montana as of June 30, 1984 and 1985 or the results of its operations and changes in its fund balances for the two fiscal years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position of the Agricultural Experiment Station at June 30, 1984 and June 30, 1985, the changes in fund balances, and the current funds revenue, expenditures, and other

78

changes for each of the two years ended June 30, 1985 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which have been applied on a consistent basis.

Respectfully submitted,

MONTANA AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1985

1 . Suminary of significant accounting policies

Related parties:

Montana State University, Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and Montana Cooperative Extension Service are related through common management and control; however, they are separate and distinct agencies and they receive separate federal and state appropriations. These agencies have certain related party transactions, including sharing office facilities, management and accounting and office services. The accounts of Montana State University and Montana Cooperative Extension Service have not been included in the accom- panying financial statements.

Financial statements:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for colleges and universities except as noted hereafter.

The statement of current funds revenues, expenditures and other changes is a statement of financial activities of current funds re- lated to the current reporting period and does not purport to present the results of operations or the net income or loss for the period.

Fund balance for unrestricted general operating funds includes $20,501 allocated for encumbrances and $368,943 prior period revenue overage netted to the unfunded liability of $1,037,106 for compen- sated absences payable.

Fund accounting:

The accounts of the Station are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting wherein resources are classified for accounting purposes into funds that are identified by the limitations and restrictions placed upon their use. Separate accounts are main- tained for each fund, however, accounts with common characteristics are combined into groups and reflected as such in the accompanying financial statements.

Plant and equipment:

At June 30, 1985 investment in plant was adjusted $903,015 to reflect the totals in the property control subsidiaries. Livestock is carried at current market value and any differences from the prior years values are reflected in this adjustment. Livestock is purchased and raised for experimental purposes; the revenues from livestock sales are recorded in the general operating fund, except when a breeding animal is sold and is expected to be replaced; then sales proceeds are recorded in designated funds and used for replacements as needed.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1985

Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation:

No provision has been made for depreciation of plant facilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for col- leges and universities.

Allowance of Bad Debts :

An allowance for bad debts has not been recorded. Losses from bad debts are recorded as adjustments to revenue in the year in which they are deemed uncollectable.

Allocated for encumbrances:

The Station records encumbrances as expenditures in conformance with the Statewide Budgeting and Accounting System.

At June 30, 1985, the Station had encumbered $20,501 of funds that are not included in expenditures in the accompanying financial statements. The accrual basis of accounting provides that expen- ditures include only amounts associated with goods and services received and that liabilities include only the unpaid amounts as- sociated with such transactions.

Investments :

Investments are carried at cost, which approximate market value at June 30, 1985.

Investments

Investments at June 30, 1985 consist of the following:

Montana short-term investment pool

Investments at June 30, 1985 are owned by the following funds:

3 . Retirement plans

All of the Station's full-time employees are members of the Montana Public Employees Retirement System or the Montana Teachers Retirement System. Employer contributions to these systems, which were determined to be actuarially sound by the most recent biennial valuations, totaled $363, 74A for the year ended June 30, 1985.

4 . Commitments and contingencies

Compensated absences payable:

As of December 31 of each year, employees can accumulate vacation leave up to twice the number of leave days earned annually and sick leave can be accumulated without limitation. Upon termination, the employee is paid the accumulated vacation leave and 25% of the accumulated sick leave. Vacation and sick leave payments are recorded as an expenditure at the time they are paid to the employee.

Due to system limitations, the change in the compensated absences payable amount is stated as an adjustment and not identified with the fiscal period earned or utilized by the employee.

Leases:

The Station reserves the right to limit the amount of expenditures associated with lease contracts without penalty when in the sole judgment of the Station annual funding or program changes necessitate. Capital lease agreements for various purposes and time periods totaling $34,331 at June 30, 1985 are not added to net investment in plant and not deemed to be material to the overall consolidated financial position of the Station.

MONTANA AGRICUITTJRAL EXPERIMENT STATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 1984

1 . Summary of significant accounting policies

Related parties:

Montana State University, Montana Agricultural Experiment Station and Montana Cooperative Extension Service are related through common management and control; however, they are separate and distinct agencies and they receive separate federal and state appropriations. These agencies have certain related party transactions, including sharing office facilities, management and accounting and office services. The accounts of Montana State University and Montana Cooperative Extension Service have not been included in the accom- panying financial statements.

Financial statements:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for colleges and universities except as noted hereafter.

The statement of current funds revenues, expenditures and other changes is a statement of financial activities of current funds re- lated to the current reporting period and does not purport to present the results of operations or the net income or loss for the period.

Fund balance for unrestricted general operating funds includes $39,334 allocated for encumbrances and $541,871 prior period revenue overage netted to the unfunded liability of $1,030,297 for compen- sated absences payable.

Fund accounting:

The accounts of the Station are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting wherein resources are classified for accounting purposes into funds that are identified by the limitations and restrictions placed upon their use. Separate accounts are main- tained for each fund, however, accounts with common characteristics are combined into groups and reflected as such in the accompanying financial statements.

Plant and equipment:

At June 30, 1984 investment in plant was adjusted $279,426 to reflect the totals in the property control subsidiaries. Livestock is carried at current market value and any differences from the prior years values are reflected in this adjustment. Livestock is purchased and raised for experimental purposes; the revenues from livestock sales are recorded in the general operating fund, except when a breeding animal is sold and is expected to be replaced; then sales proceeds are recorded in designated funds and used for replacements as needed.

The Station records encumbrances as expenditures in conformance with the Statewide Budgeting and Accounting System.

At June 30, 1984, the Station had encumbered $39,334 of funds that are not included in expenditures in the accompanying financial statements. The accrual basis of accounting provides that expen- ditures include only amounts associated with goods and services received and that liabilities include only the unpaid amounts as- sociated with such transactions.

Investments :

Investments are carried at cost, which approximate market value at June 30, 1984.

JOHN W. NORTHEY

The Legislative Audit Committee of the Montana State Legislature:

We have examined the accompanying Balance Sheets of the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) at June 30, 1984 and June 30, 1985, and the related Statements of Changes in Fund Balances and Current Funds Revenues, Expenditures, and Other Changes for each of the two fiscal years ended June 30, 1985. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Standards for Audits of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities, and Functions and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

The financial statements presented are only for the Coopera- tive Extension Service. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements are not intended to present fairly the financial position of the state of Montana as of June 30, 1984 and 1985 or the results of its operations and changes in its fund balances for the two fiscal years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position of the Cooperative Extension Service at June 30, 1984 and June 30, 1985, the changes in fund balances, and the current funds revenue, expenditures, and other

96

changes for each of the two years ended June 30, 1985, in confor- mity with generally accepted accounting principles which have been applied on a consistent basis.

Respectfully submitted.

MONTANA LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR

The r recoitimenda Montana St Agricultur fiscal yea reflected recommenda as effic maintainin Federal re

esponses of Montana State University to the audit tions made relative to the audit report on the ate University, Cooperative Extension Service, and al Experiment Station financial activity for rs 1983-84 and 1984-85 are submitted herewith. As by the number and magnitude of the audit tions, we are continuing in our efforts to operate iently and effectively as possible, while g compliance with the multitude of State and gulations which govern our activities.

The evidence of our sound and responsible financial and business management is contained in the audit report. As we continue to make progress in our business affairs, we are •proud to play an active part in assisting and cooperating with the Commissioner's Office and the Board of Regents in resolving the audit issues raised and in improving communications and the relationships between the University System and the Legislature.

Your staff v/ho performed this audit were all of personal and professional quality and our staff was able to work with them in a personable and professional manner.

RECOMMENDATION #1:

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY REPORT STUDENT FTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH REGENTS' POLICY.

RESPONSE #1:

WE CONCUR WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. However, we believe that we were correct in our interpretation of the funding formula guidelines which clearly show the Military Science component. However, we have referred this matter to the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education for evaluation and request a clarification based upon their interpretation.

RECOMMENDATION #2:

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY FOLLOW STATE PURCHASING LAWS AND POLICIES.

RESPONSE #2:

WE CONCUR WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. The Multilith Department of the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) has again submitted a request to the State Department of Administration, requesting delegated purchasing authority up to $30,000 for the purchase of paper. The granting of that level of purchasing authority will aid in Multilith' s efforts to obtain higher quality, lower cost paper in a more timely manner than is currently available through State Central Stores.

RECOMMENDATION #3:

WE RECOMI-IEND THE UNIVERSITY REQUEST FEDERAL MONIES IN A MANNER WHICH WILL MINIMIZE THE NECESSITY FOR THE STATE TO ADVANCE CASH TO FEDERAL PROGRAMS.

RESPONSE #3:

WE CONCUR WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. At the time this matter was first brought to our attention, the Federal funds were being ordered the first of each month on a reimbursement basis. The payroll which occurs on the eleventh of each month constitutes the great majority of Federal funds ordered on a monthly basis. Thus, in June 1985, a directive was issued which changed the order date for Federal funds to the fifteenth of each month, after the main monthly payroll.

RECOMMENDATION #4:

WE RECOMMEND THAT THE UNIVERSITY ESTABLISH PROCEDURES TO FORECAST CASH NEEDS TO ENSURE POSITIVE CASH BALANCES ARE MAINTAINED IN COMPLIANCE WITH STATE LAWS.

1 13

I

RESPONSE #4:

WE CONCUR WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. This is an issue of conflicting State Statutes which is being addressed by the State Department of Administration.

RECOMMENDATION #5:

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY:

A. ACCRUE EXPENDITURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

B. CORRECT INVALID EXPENDITURE ACCRUALS.

RESPONSE #5:

WE CONCUR WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. We make every reasonable effort to fully comply with State accounting policies which relate to expenditure accruals. The invalid expenditure accruals will be corrected prior to this fiscal year end.

RECOMMENDATION #6:

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY DEPOSIT RECEIPTS ON A TIMELY BASIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW.

RESPONSE #6:

WE CONCUR WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. The CES administration will work directly with the department involved to ensure proper and more timely deposits of receipts.

RECOMMENDATION #7:

WE RECOMMEND THE UNIVERSITY:

A. IMPROVE CONTROLS TO ENSURE ALL ITEMS DISPOSED OF AND ALL INVENTORIES ARE DELETED FROM ITS PROPERTY RECORDS.

B. ENSURE ALL STATE EQUIPMENT ITEMS ARE TAGGED AS STATE PROPERTY.

RESPONSE #7:

WE CONCUR WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION. We are taking every action possible within our limited resources to ensure the accuracy of the property listing. We are also continuing in our efforts to identify and tag State property which was not properly tagged in years past .

AND NORTHERN MONTANA COLLEGE AT HAVRE.

RECOMMENDATION #1

We recommend the University report student FTE in accordance with Regents policy.

Agency Response:

Concur .

Vie will review the reporting criteria for restricted credit hours as they would pertain to military science programs and revise our practice if necessary.

A few additional facts are relevant to the auditor's finding.

1. The study that established the funding formula for higher education in 1981 included military science in the unre- stricted portion of the formula (see page 39 of the Final Report) .

2. While the salaries of the faculty are paid directly by the military, the state must pick up the other program costs and provide the facilities. The student must pay the tuition costs for the enrolled credit hours and the tuition revenue is deposited in the unrestricted funds as general fund offset. If we are going to treat the student credit hour production as restricted, the tuitions collected must also be segregated into the restricted account.
