Recommendation 14

It was recommended that the Department of Education:

Audit and review school attendance figures to determine whether fraudulent reporting of attendance in an attempt to gain increased funding is systemic or at risk of being systemic.

Status

This recommendation has been completed.

Recommendations 13 and 14 both related to enrolment and attendance reporting of students and therefore a combined approach was implemented. The Student Administration Management System has been reviewed. As a result, new controls have been introduced and existing processes have been strengthened while a new student management system is being established.
