Plante Moran performed this 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. Plante Moran conducted the related fieldwork from June 2019 to October 2019. The purpose and scope of Plante Moran’s audit were to: Express an opinion on the financial statements of the University as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019. This includes a report on internal control over financial reporting and compliance and other matters based on the audit of the financial statements performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. Perform tests of the University’s compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters, as it relates to financial reporting. The University’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards and applicable opinions thereon, issued by the Office of the State Auditor, State of Colorado, are included in the June 30, 2019 Statewide Single Audit Report issued under separate cover. Audit Opinion and Reports Plante Moran expressed an unmodified opinion on the University’s financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2019. Plante Moran issued a report on the University’s compliance and internal control over financial reporting based on an audit of the basic financial statements performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. A deficiency in internal control 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 and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Plante Moran noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that Plante Moran considers to be material weaknesses and three matters that Plante Moran considers to be significant deficiencies, as noted in the report on internal control over financial reporting and compliance and other matters based on the audit of the financial statements performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, located on page 106. Summary of Findings and Recommendations The University has three findings that are considered sensitive in nature related to information technology general controls and are outlined further in the report on internal control over financial reporting and compliance and other matters based on the audit of the financial statements performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards located on page 106. Government Auditing Standards allow for information that is considered sensitive in nature, such as detailed information related to information technology system security, to be issued through a separate “classified or limited use” report. This is due to the potential damage that could be caused by the misuse of that information. 1 METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER REPORT SUMMARY (UNAUDITED) YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2018 Plante Moran considers the specific technical details of these three findings to be sensitive in nature and not appropriate for public disclosure. Therefore, the details of the summarized findings have been provided to the University. A summary of the recommendations for the above findings is included in the Recommendation Locator on page 3. The Recommendation Locator also shows the University’s responses to the audit recommendations. Summary of Progress in Implementing Prior Year Audit Recommendations The audit report for the year ended June 30, 2018 included three findings and recommendations. The first and second findings were partially implemented. The third finding was fully implemented. A detailed description of the progress on the audit comments and recommendations are contained in the disposition of prior audit recommendations section located on page 8. 2 METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER RECOMMENDATION LOCATOR (UNAUDITED) YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019 AND 2018 Recommendation University Implementation No. Page No. Recommendation Summary Response Date 1 5 The University should improve Agree June 30, 2020 information technology access controls. 2 7 The University should improve Agree February 1, change management information 2020 technology controls. 3 8 The University should update its Agree November 21, endpoint protection information 2019 technology controls.

  • HB 14-1319 PROJECT - FOUNDATIONAL WORKING DOCUMENT Draft As of 08/13/14
    HB 14-1319 PROJECT - FOUNDATIONAL WORKING DOCUMENT Draft as of 08/13/14 Background House Bill 14-1319, signed into law in May 2014, requires the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE), the statewide coordinating board for the higher education system, to develop a new funding formula to allocate state general fund dollars among the State’s public institutions of higher education within specified parameters. The legislation lays out an aggressive time frame and specifically charges the CCHE to engage in a facilitated process with “interested parties” and ultimately adopt and weight funding factors in a new base-funding allocation formula that includes role and mission factors as well as performance metric factors. The intent of this new funding model is to, in part, determine and implement a mechanism that is more transparent and understandable for Colorado taxpayers; provides tuition predictability while ensuring both accessible and affordable higher education for residents; and, does so in harmony with the statewide goals for higher education as articulated in the CCHE’s Master Plan – Colorado Competes, A Complete Agenda for Higher Education. Purpose This foundational working document (FWD) has been developed, in collaboration with institutional research representatives and Chief Financial Officers from Colorado public colleges, facilitated by CDHE staff, to establish a foundation of consistent and accurate definitions and data sources to be utilized and relied upon when addressing the various components of the bill. This document will be shared with Funding Modeling Expert Team to use as a foundation for their discussions as they begin to work on building a funding model with factor and metric definitions and data sources that are “consistent and predictable” as well as “transparent and understandable”, as required by law.
