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.
