Upon identification of the configuration error, the University corrected its National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) file submission settings to ensure enrollment status changes are properly processed and transmitted to NSLDS. The University has implemented a new monitoring control whereby an employee independent of the enrollment reporting function performs a review of NSLDS to verify that data submitted through NSC has been accurately and timely transmitted in accordance with required timeframes. This control is designed to provide timely detection of any future transmission failures and ensure corrective action is taken within the required reporting windows.

FINDING 2025-006 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) - Period of Performance Summary of Finding: The School Corporation had not properly designed or implemented a system of internal controls to ensure transactions made with the Special Education Grant funding occurred within the appropriate period of performance. Claims for the Special Education programs were paid without an appropriate level of review or oversight to ensure the expenditures charged to each grant were within the allowed time frame. Although the reimbursement requests submitted to the Indiana Department of Education were prepared and approved by two different employees, the School Corporation was unable to provide evidence of this review and approval process, which may have included a review of the costs included on each request to verify they were within the correct period of performance.
