Both the Department and FSA received unqualified (clean) opinions on their FY 2012 and FY 2011 financial statements. However, the audit reports noted a material weakness in internal control surrounding the Department’s Debt Management Collection System and ACS Education Servicing System—the legacy Direct Loan servicing system; found modified repeat deficiencies relating to credit reform estimation, financial reporting processes, and controls surrounding information systems; and reported that the Department’s financial management systems did not substantially comply with certain systems requirements of the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act because of the control weaknesses surrounding information systems. A number of recommendations were made to address the weaknesses identified.

The Department received a clean opinion on its FY 2012 and FY 2011 special-purpose financial statements. However, like the other financial statement audits, the audit reports included a material weakness related to controls surrounding the Department’s Debt Management Collection System and ACS Education Servicing System, and significant deficiencies related to controls surrounding the credit reform estimation processes and information systems. In addition, the Department’s review procedures failed to identify errors in the reclassified financial statements and in the intergovernmental balances reported.
