eZ-Audit is a web-based process
designed to facilitate the submission of compliance and financial
statement audits, expedite the review of those audits by the
Department, and provide more timely and useful information to
public, non-profit and proprietary institutions regarding the
Department's review. eZ-Audit establishes a uniform process under
which all institutions submit directly to the Department any audit
required under the Title IV, HEA program regulations. eZ-Audit
continues to have minimal number of financial template line items
and general information questions. No additional burden hours have
been added.
There are no program changes to
this collection. The estimated number of respondents remains
unchanged from the previous filing. There is an additional 149
hours of burden being identified to correct a mathematical error in
the previous filing.
