2019 Drexel University Consolidated Financial Statements [PDF] Drexel University and Subsidiaries Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 Drexel University and Subsidiaries Index June 30, 2019 and 2018 Page(s) Report of Independent Auditors ......................................................................................... 1–2 Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated Statements of Financial Position ............................................................................... 3 Consolidated Statements of Activities ........................................................................................ 4–5 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows .......................................................................................... 6 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements ............................................................................. 7–59 Report of Independent Auditors To the Board of Trustees Drexel University We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Drexel University and its subsidiaries (the “University”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of activities and of cash flows for the years then ended. Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the University's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the University's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

    Francis Martin Drexel (1792-1863), Artist Turned Financier ©Jay Robert Stiefel [email protected] All rights reserved. Appeared in Maine Antique Digest (May 2003), p. 44-D. The transformation of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) from stockbroker to painter illustrates a not uncommon occurrence in the life of many a wealthy professional. Beggaring even Maugham’s masterful fictional portrait of Gauguin in A Moon and Sixpence, however, is the tempestuous life of another man who accomplished the reverse, turning from art to finance. Whereas Gauguin found his greatest achievement as a painter, and is now considered a leading exponent of Post-impressionism, Francis Martin Drexel (1792-1863) - to the extent he is remembered at all - is respected as the founder of one of America’s greatest merchant banks, Drexel & Company. Drexel’s story, even more so than Gauguin’s, is one of insatiable Wanderlust and requited daring. Drexel admitted to having been partial to art since infancy. Perhaps this was fostered by the romantic setting of his birth on April 7, 1792, in Dornbirn, in the far western Austrian alpine province of the Voralberg. Drexel demonstrated no early interest in commerce, despite the encouragement of his father, one of Dornbirn’s most successful merchants. On New Year’s Day, 1806, Francis was apprenticed to a painter in the village of Wolfurt, five miles to the north of Dornbirn. (This was the area of the Bregenzer Wald, which had earlier produced another noted artist, Angelica Kauffmann, whose altarpiece graces the parish church at Schwarzenburg.) These studies were disrupted by the failed 1809 Tyrolese rising against the Napoleonic occupation of Austria, which nearly impoverished the elder Drexel, one of the insurgency’s leaders.
