DOWLING COLLEGE Financial Statements June 30 DOWLING COLLEGE Financial Statements June 30, 2008 and 2007 (With Independent Auditors’ Report Thereon) KPMG LLP 345 Park Avenue New York, NY 10154 Independent Auditors’ Report The Board of Trustees Dowling College: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dowling College (the College) as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the College’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the College’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dowling College as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. October 24, 2008 KPMG LLP, a U.S. limited liability partnership, is the U.S. member firm of KPMG International, a Swiss cooperative.

Dowling College (the College) is an independent, comprehensive coeducational institution of higher learning. The College, founded in 1955 and named in honor of its benefactor Robert W. Dowling, noted financier and patron of the arts, serves approximately 6,500 undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate students. The College is located in Suffolk County, New York, with its Rudolph Campus situated in Oakdale, and the Brookhaven Center located in Shirley. The College grants degrees and certifications to students through programs offered by its Schools of Arts & Sciences, Business, Education, and Aviation. Degree programs can be completed on a part-time or full-time basis. (b) Basis of Accounting The financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with standards established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for not-for-profit organizations. (c) Basis of Presentation The College’s net assets and revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein are classified and reported as follows: Unrestricted net assets – Net assets that are not subject to donor-imposed stipulations. Temporarily restricted net assets – Net assets that are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that will be met by actions of the College and/or the passage of time. Permanently restricted net assets – Net assets that are subject to donor-imposed restrictions that require the original contribution to be maintained in perpetuity by the College, but permit the College to use all or part of the income earned on related investments for general or specific purposes. Grants and contracts are treated as exchange transactions, and are reported as revenues when expenses are incurred in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

  • Conferral of Degrees: Glasgow Caledonian New York College and Dowling College
    THE STATE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT / THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK / ALBANY, NY 12234 TO: The Honorable the Members of the Board of Regents FROM: William P. Murphy SUBJECT: Conferral of Degrees: Glasgow Caledonian New York College and Dowling College DATE: May 27, 2021 AUTHORIZATION(S): SUMMARY Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda) Should the Board of Regents confer degrees upon students successfully completing programs at Glasgow Caledonian New York College and Dowling College? Reason(s) for Consideration Required by State statute and State regulation. Proposed Handling This question will come before the Full Board at its June 2021 meeting, where it will be voted on and action taken. Procedural History Not applicable Background Information Section 208 of the Education Law gives the Regents the authority to make awards in certain circumstances. By statute and regulation, institutions of higher education that have provisional charters do not have authority to award degrees. Until such time as a charter is made absolute, the Board of Regents awards degrees on behalf of provisionally chartered institutions. In the case of closed institutions of higher education, in order to hold students harmless, the Board of Regents awards degrees to eligible students who complete the requirements for their registered degree programs at other institutions, for specified periods of time. BR (CA) 5 Glasgow Caledonian New York College Glasgow Caledonian New York College, located at 64 Wooster Street, New York, New York, was granted a provisional charter by the Board of Regents on June 13, 2017. Glasgow Caledonian New York College offers Master of Science (M.S.) degrees in (1) Business for Social Impact and Sustainability (former title: Impact-Focused Business and Investing); (2) Sustainable Fashion (former title: International Fashion Marketing); and (3) Risk, Resilience, and Integrity Management.

Keitel President Higher Education Services Corporation 99 Washington Avenue Albany, New York 12255 Re: Dowling College Report 2000-T-4 Dear Mr. Mills and Mr. Keitel: According to the State Comptroller’s authority as set forth in Article V, Section 1 of the State Constitution, Article II, Section 8 of the State Finance Law, and a Memorandum of Agreement dated December 1, 1989, involving the State Comptroller, the Commissioner of Education, the President of the Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC), and the Director of the Budget, we audited the records and procedures used in administering the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) at Dowling College (Dowling) for the 1996-97 through 1998-99 academic years. Summary Conclusions In accordance with Section 665(3)(b) of the Education Law (Law), we determined that Dowling was overpaid $257,413 because school officials incorrectly certified some students as eligible for TAP awards. We tested the accuracy of the 5,687 TAP certifications Dowling awarded for the three-year period that ended on June 30, 1999, by reviewing a statistical sample of 200 randomly-selected awards. From our statistical sample, we disallowed 12 awards totaling $16,906. A statistical projection of these audit disallowances to the entire population, using a 95 percent single-sided confidence level, results in an audit disallowance of $244,675.
