On March 31, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) published the Guide for Compliance Attestation Engagements of Proprietary Schools Expending Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Grants. As a condition of receiving Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (“HEERF”) awards, proprietary institutions must have a compliance audit conducted of its administration of the HEERF for any fiscal year during which the institution expends $500,000 or more in total HEERF awards or is on a Federal Student Aid heightened cash monitoring status during a fiscal year in which it expends any HEERF grant funds. The HEERF compliance audit is required to be conducted in accordance with the recently published audit guide. In this presentation, officials with the Office of General Counsel and the OIG non-Federal audit team will provide an overview of the audit guide, including general background, planning considerations, required testing, and due dates and submission procedures. Although time is allotted for live Q&A, attendees are encouraged to submit questions ahead of time through the webinar registration form.
