Financial Audits and Other Third-Party Examinations
RMU’s financial
statements and internal financial controls are audited each year by its
independent auditors, who are currently Deloitte & Touche LLP. The latter provided an unqualified opinion
regarding the University’s financial statements for the years ended May 31,
2016 and 2017. The independent auditors
are also required to notify management by letter if they believe that there are
deficiencies in internal financial controls or other areas involving material
risk to the University. The auditors did
not notify the University of any such deficiencies in these two fiscal years. Various aspects
of RMU’s operations are also examined by other third parties and regulatory
agencies. For example, RMU’s long-term
debt carries an investment-grade rating (Baa3) from Moody’s Investor
Services. The University provides
financial and other operating data to Moody’s each year and meets with them
periodically to update them on significant developments.
Both the
auditors and Moody’s provide useful suggestions for improvement, best practices
and comparison data that RMU can use for institutional improvement.
