2023-007 – Special Tests and Provisions - Enrollment Reporting – Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance
Recommendation: The auditors recommend the University follow and enhance existing policies to ensure all student changes in status are identified timely and submitted accurately within the required time frame. The auditors also recommend the University establish a formal internal monitoring control whereby a designated individual with NSLDS access, on a sample basis, spot checks the status updates on NSLDS so to internally audit the National Student Clearinghouse submissions.
Planned corrective actions: The University will adhere to current regulations and improve them if necessary to guarantee that all student status changes are recognized promptly and filed correctly within the allotted period. In order to internally audit the National Student Clearinghouse submissions, the University established a formal internal monitoring system wherein a designated individual with NSLDS access, on a sample basis, spot-checks the status updates on NSLDS.
