Step-by-Step Guide to Using eZ-Audit for For-Profit Schools
eZ-Audit Overview
Frequently Asked Questions…
What is eZ-Audit?
eZ-Audit is a web based paperless single point of submission for financial statements and compliance audits. A
designee from your school simply signs on to eZ-Audit, enters summary audit and financial data directly from your
report into a web form, attaches an electronic version of the report, and hits the submit button. Your submission
through eZ-Audit will allow for more rapid and efficient processing by the Department of Education (ED) and
therefore provide you with immediate feedback.
How does eZ-Audit work?
1. Your school submits its compliance audit data and summary financial data via an Internet web form
(follow this manual for complete instructions).
2. Your school also attaches an electronic copy of your financial statement and compliance audit in a noneditable PDF format (using Adobe Acrobat).
3. The eZ-Audit system automatically forwards flagged financials and deficient audits to FSA’s School
Participation Management Team for resolution.
4. School Participation Teams communicate with you to reach resolution.
5. As desired, you can periodically check eZ-Audit for the status of your report.
How does eZ-Audit Benefit You?
• You will receive instant acknowledgement of receipt – no more lost reports!
• You will no longer need to make any copies or send reports in the mail to ED.
• Processing times will be greatly reduced, thus allowing for quicker remediation of findings.
• Web forms will contain pre-populated fields.
• There are no new reporting requirements – data entry will be limited to the same data already contained in the
reports.
• The time spent submitting these forms should be less than 1 hour.
• Status of your submissions will be accessible to you online at anytime.
• A Help Desk will be available for assistance at 1-877-263-0780.
Who at my school will use eZ-Audit?
• eZ-Audit Institution/School Administrator, selected by your school, is responsible for:
o Registering your school with eZ-Audit
o Providing/managing access to data entry and submission approval personnel, as identified
by your school
o Maintaining security information regarding schools users as required
• eZ-Audit Data Entry Users, selected by your school, are responsible for:
o Entering data into the eZ-Audit system
o Attaching non-editable, PDF files of financial statements and compliance audits
• eZ-Audit Submission Approvers, selected by your school, are responsible for:
o Reviewing the submission prior to “submit”
o Approving the submission via the “submit” action
What role should my auditor play in eZ-Audit?
April 2008

Step-by-Step Guide to Using eZ-Audit for For-Profit Schools
You may choose to ask your auditor to serve as a Data Entry User of eZ-Audit. This means that your auditor
would complete the fields in the system, and attach the audited documents in the non-editable, PDF format.
It your auditor is not selected as a Data Entry User, you may request that your auditor electronically sends you
your financial statements and compliance audits in the non-editable, PDF format using Adobe Acrobat.
Please note that attestation of your financial statements and compliance audits will be in the attachments of your
documents – additional electronic signatures are not required.
eZ-Audit Technical Requirements
eZ-Audit is a web-based application. This means you will not need to load a new application on your computer.
You will simply need to ensure that you have an Internet browser – either Netscape 4.76 or 6.2 or Internet
Explorer 5.0 or higher.
NOTE
If you receive an error that does not allow you to access eZ-Audit when you type in the URL
from your internet browser, please contact your network administrator and request that
he/she do one of the following:
•
•
Open your firewall to allow all 165.224.xxx.xxx addresses through, which would allow your
school access to all ed.gov sites
Conduct an nslookup on ezaudit.ed.gov which will allow your school access to eZ-Audit
eZ-Audit requires you to attach a non-editable PDF version of your annual submissions. Adobe Acrobat must be
used to create this attachment. You have several options for obtaining Adobe Acrobat:
•
•
•
Purchase Adobe Acrobat 5.0 software that will allow you to scan paper copies of your submissions and
convert them to PDF. (The retail cost of the software is approximately $250)
Convert an electronic version of your submission (word, excel, etc) to PDF format using www.adobe.com
online. (Adobe provides this conversion capability for $9.99 for one month with unlimited use.)
Bring paper copies of your submissions to your local copying center (Kinkos, etc.) and request that they
create a PDF version of your submission. (The cost of this option will vary, however $30 - $50 is a
reasonable estimate.)

Step-by-Step Guide to Using eZ-Audit for For-Profit Schools
School Group Submissions
ED considers a school group as a collection of schools whereby a single school within the group (what ED calls
the submitting institution (Locator) or a designated representative (such as a State Auditor) submits a single
consolidated financial statement and compliance audit together to ED (For example; ITT, State of Louisiana (who
submits for all the state schools in Louisiana), etc.).
The submitting institution (Locator) must be located in the same state/region as the Corporate
Headquarters. If there are no schools located in the same state/region, the lowest OPEID in the group will
continue to be the submitting institution (Locator).
Schools that submit consolidated (covering more than one OPEID) financial statements and multiple
compliance audits will complete the Compliance Audit Information, Checklist and Upload pages for each
(OPEID) school in the group. The submitting institution (Locator) can submit for all OPEIDs or the
member school can complete and submit their own information. The member school must be registered
(See Registration Instructions).
School Group Compliance Audit Information Page:
NOTE
If you have additional questions regarding school groups, please send an email to
[email protected] or contact the eZ-Audit Help Desk at 1-877-263-0780.
