9.1: Unqualified Audit

Resolve issues preventing the Department of Education (ED) from achieving an unqualified audit opinion on its financial statements

Other Information:

The Secretary of Education has launched a major effort to address these financial and management issues. The goals are to resolve issues preventing ED from achieving an unqualified audit opinion on its financial statements and to have student financial assistance programs removed from GAO’s high-risk list by successfully addressing management deficiencies. When these goals are accomplished, ED will have a reliable financial management system that minimizes vulnerability to fraud, waste, and abuse, and produces accurate and timely data for oversight and decision-making purposes.
