S. Department of Education (Department) Office of Inspector General (OIG), I present this Semiannual Report on the activities and accomplishments of this office from April 1, 2025, through September 30, 2025. The audits, investigations, and related work highlighted in this report are the result of our mission to identify and stop fraud, waste, and abuse and promote accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness through our oversight of the Department’s programs and operations.  \nDuring this reporting period, the OIG completed assignments involving pandemic relief aid, Federal student aid programs and operations, K–12 education, and several of our annual statutory reviews.  \nIn our audit-related work, we issued 13 reports that identified more than $21 million in questioned and unsupported costs and offered recommendations for improving a number of the programs and operations reviewed. This included the following:  \nWe look forward to working with the 119th Congress, the Department, and the Administration to provide our nation’s taxpayers with assurance that the Federal government is using their hard-earned money effectively and efficiently.  \n• Our audit of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction’s (Wisconsin) administration and oversight of Emergency Assistance to Nonpublic Schools (EANS) pandemic grant funds found that it allocated funds for services and assistance to nonpublic schools that did not meet program eligibility requirements and did not verify some information that nonpublic schools provided in their applications for EANS services and assistance. Wisconsin’s improper  \napproval of ineligible nonpublic schools’ applications resulted in it providing over $20 million in EANSfunded services and assistance to 184 nonpublic schools. Further, because Wisconsin did not verify certain information in nonpublic schools’applications, it provided $838,829 for EANS-funded services and assistance to one ineligible school and did not have assurance that all schools that were approved to participate in the programs had a nonprofit status.  \n• Our statutory fiscal year (FY) 2025 Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) review found that the Department’s overall information security program and practices were effective. However, the auditors identified some areas that could be improved and made five recommendations to assist the Department with doing so.  \n• For FY 2024, our statutory review found that the Department complied with the reporting requirements of the Payment Integrity Information Act. However, we found that the Department could improve its processes for implementing its methodologies for estimating improper payments and unknown payments within the  \n• Federal Pell Grant and William  \nD. Ford Federal Direct Loan programs and offered one recommendation for it to do so.  \nIn our investigative work, we closed 58 investigations involving fraud or corruption and secured more than $29 million in restitution, settlements, fines, savings, recoveries, and forfeitures.
