Audit  Audit of Mount Wachusett Community College

MWCC could not provide Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) reports for all students who were enrolled in ECE practicum courses.

MWCC should implement a policy to monitor whether students have had CORI checks before they participate in ECE practicum courses and develop a procedure to ensure compliance with the policy.

MWCC’s financial reports do not include the full cost of operating GSC and MFC.

MWCC should include all operating expenses for GSC and MFC in financial reports that are used to assess these services’ financial performance. Operating expenses should include all direct costs (including fringe benefit costs) and indirect costs.

MWCC management does not use detailed management reporting to guide decisions regarding GSC’s and MFC’s operations.

1. MWCC should allocate financial and personnel resources to develop management reports for both GSC and MFC to monitor the operating performance of these auxiliary services on a monthly and annual basis.
2. Once MWCC has a better understanding of GSC’s and MFC’s operating performance, it should evaluate whether they efficiently and effectively support MWCC’s mission.
