U.S. Department of Education Semiannual Report to Congress, No. 70, October 1, 2014–March 31, 2015
During this period, we completed 35 investigations involving fraud or corruption related to the Department’s programs and operations, securing more than $54 million in settlements, fines, restitutions, recoveries, forfeitures, and savings. In addition, as a result of our investigative work, criminal actions were taken against a number of people, including school officials and service providers who cheated the students they were in positions to serve. We also issued 11 audit-related reports that contained recommendations to improve program operations, plus one report that highlighted good controls relating to the Pell grant eligibility limit.
