FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

In Bull Pride

OUR PROMISE TO ALUMNI

To connect alumni and provide meaningful ways for alumni to help USF succeed.

OUR MISSION

To foster a mutually beneficial, lifelong relationship between the university and its alumni; to inspire loyalty and pride among current and future alumni; and to advocate for excellence in teaching, research and public service.

Fellow Alumni,

Did you know that if you put all 260,000 living USF graduates in one place, you’d have a community that would be among the 75 largest cities in the United States? Keeping Bulls Country connected is no small task, but with our strategic direction and the participation of members like you, alumni are becoming a powerful force on behalf of our alma mater.

We were excited to announce in 2012 two important business relationships: the USF Federal Credit Union, which now offers the new, redesigned Bulls credit card, and Liberty Mutual, which provides an array of important insurance services to alumni. We hope that every member will apply for the new Bulls credit card because by doing so, you help support your university and Alumni Association.

It’s only with the support of members like you that we can create all the programs, services and opportunities that alumni use to help our great university succeed.

Because of your membership, we were able to serve more than 14,000 members, 68 alumni groups, and rally thousands of Bulls who sent more than 40,000 messages to their legislators seeking fair and equitable treatment for USF. Alumni shared their Bull pride with more than 15,000 license plates on the road, they visited the alumni website more than 200,000 times to share USF news and events, and nearly 10,000 celebrated and reconnected at Homecoming Super Bull XVI. During 2012, Bulls helped to impact student success by committing more than $400,000 in scholarship awards.

Because of your membership, USF Alumni Voice magazine is free for all Alumni Association members and the online e-magazine is free for everyone who visits www.USFalumni.org. You also make it possible for us to offer library services to members, career services to graduating students and alumni in transition, and host social media communities where Bulls foster and strengthen their relationships with each other and our university.

We are infinitely grateful to the members who make this possible.

Go Bulls!

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants

The Board of DirectorsUniversity of South Florida Alumni Association, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of the University of South Florida Alumni Association, Inc. (the Association) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the re-lated statements of activities and changes in net assets, cash flows, and functional expenses for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Association’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 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Association’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of inter-nal 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 Association’s internal control over financial reporting. Ac-cordingly, 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 and 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 the Associa-tion as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the changes in its net assetsand its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated October 18, 2012 on our consider-ation of the Association’s internal control over financial reporting and on 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 considered in assessing the results of our audits.
