ANDREWS HOOPER & PAVLIK P.L.C. Certified Public Accountants Report of Independent Auditors Board of Control Saginaw Valley State University We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Saginaw Valley State University, a component unit of the State of Michigan as of and for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and Saginaw Valley State University Foundation, a discretely presented component unit of the University, as of and for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the University s administration. 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 and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 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 University s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the administration, 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 Saginaw Valley State University and its discretely presented component unit, Saginaw Valley State University Foundation as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in their financial position and Saginaw Valley State University s cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated August 20, 2010 on our consideration of Saginaw Valley State University s internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report when considering the results of our audit. 5300 Gratiot Saginaw, Michigan 48638-6035 ph 989.497.5300 fx 989.497.5353 www.ahpplc.com 1

The Management s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) on pages i to viii is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of this supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements of Saginaw Valley State University and its discretely presented component unit, Saginaw Valley State University Foundation, taken as a whole. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Saginaw Valley State University Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Year ended June 30, 2010 Note 1: Note 2: As defined in OMB Circular A-133, Student Financial Assistance programs are considered to be clusters of programs and, accordingly, have been classified as one program for testing purposes. Student Financial Assistance is defined as a major program. Also, the entire Cluster was excluded when determining the dollar threshold for major program determination. Under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program, students and parents borrow funds directly from the federal government; the University is responsible for verifying student eligibility, electronically transmitting the loan records to the federal processor and distributing the loan funds directly to the student account or parent borrower. For the year ended June 30, 2010, Direct Student Loans totaled $53,031,298 ($22,462,950 subsidized, $26,086,684 unsubsidized, $4,430,774 PLUS, and $50,890 direct graduate). Note 3: The Pell grant expenditures are the actual amounts incurred through June 30, 2010. The University will process amendments subsequent to year end to finalize the 2009-2010 award year.

ANDREWS HOOPER & PAVLIK P.L.C. Certified Public Accountants Independent Auditors Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards Board of Control Saginaw Valley State University We have audited the financial statements of Saginaw Valley State University (University) and its discretely presented component unit, Saginaw Valley State University Foundation, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2010, and have issued our report thereon dated August 20, 2010. We conducted our 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. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the University's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the University s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the University s internal control over financial reporting. 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. Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the University s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. 5300 Gratiot Saginaw, Michigan 48638-6035 ph 27989.497.5300 fx 989.497.5353 www.ahpplc.com

ANDREWS HOOPER & PAVLIK P.L.C. Certified Public Accountants Independent Auditors Report on Compliance with Requirements That Could Have a Direct and Material Effect on Each Major Program and on Internal Control Over Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A-133 Board of Control Saginaw Valley State University Compliance We have audited the compliance of Saginaw Valley State University (University) with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2010. The University s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor s results section of the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the University s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the University s compliance based on our audit. The University s financial statements include the operations of its discretely presented component unit, Saginaw Valley State University Foundation, which received $-0- in federal awards. An OMB Circular A-133 audit was not required for Saginaw Valley State University Foundation. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the University s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the University s compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the University complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2010. We did not audit the University s compliance with the requirements governing billing, recordkeeping, payment processing, reporting and due diligence functions for the University s Federal Perkins Loan Program. Those requirements govern functions performed by Campus Partners. Campus Partners s compliance with the requirements governing the functions it performs for the University was audited by another auditor, whose report was furnished to us. Based on our review of the other auditor s report, we have determined that all of the compliance requirements that are applicable to the University s Federal Perkins Loan Program are addressed either in our report or the report of the other auditor. Based on our review of the other auditor s report, we have determined that it does not contain any reportable findings of noncompliance pertaining to the services that Campus Partners performs for the University. 5300 Gratiot Saginaw, Michigan 48638-6035 ph 989.497.5300 fx 989.497.5353 www.ahpplc.com 29

Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the University is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements applicable to federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered the University s internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the University s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be deficiencies, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. This report is intended solely for the information and use of the Board of Control and management of Saginaw Valley State University and federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
