Abstract: These regulations establish new requirements in 34 CFR 668.23(h) for both audited financial statements and compliance audits for foreign institutions based in part on fiscal year funding received at the school for US students receiving Title IV, HEA program funds. The proposed regulation in §668.23(h)(1) would establish new audited financial statement submission requirements for foreign institutions receiving Title IV, HEA program funds in the most recently completed fiscal year. The proposed regulation in §668.23(h)(2) would separate foreign institutions into two groups, establishing new compliance audit requirements for foreign schools based upon whether the institution received less than $500,000 or $500,000 or more in Title IV, HEA program funds during the institution’s most recently completed fiscal year.
