Corrective Action Plan: Internal Controls and Compliance - FISAP Reporting - MSU - The Montana State University (MSU) plans to take action about the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) as follows:
MSU-Bozeman – Financial Aid Services will return to consistently reporting the student count. As MSU-Bozeman is no longer awarding Perkins loans, the error was the result of inconsistent use of data fields to compensate for non-editable fields in the report.
MSU-Billings – The Financial Aid office will implement a multiple-departmental review of information during the FISAP correction period and a review process for the completed FISAP before submission or during the FISAP correction period. The Associate Director of Financial Aid will review the full completed FISAP for any errors before submission.
MSU-Northern – The Financial Aid office will put into place internal controls over FISAP preparation. Prior to submission, the FISAP report will be reviewed and signed off by a member of the Executive Team with a final review by the Chancellor. This will be put into place for the 2025-2026 award year. Records will be retained for seven years under record retention guidelines.
