HAFA ADAI !

Welcome to the Guam Department of Education (GDOE) Internal Audit Office (IAO) website. IAO has an established framework for operational improvement, which includes the (1) identification of risk, (2) examination of operational vulnerabilities or weaknesses, (3) review and establishment of standard operating procedures and internal controls, and (4) standards-based audit reports with recommendations for process improvements. We hope these pages help you in understanding IAO's roles and responsibilities. If you have further questions or have website improvement suggestions, please feel free to contact us.

Each year, GDOE is audited by both IAO and external auditors and reviewers. This page contains GDOE's audit performance history from fiscal year 2000 to present.

GDOE was deemed by the U.S. Department of Education (US ED) as a high-risk grantee. Additionally, special conditions were imposed on GDOE. In order for GDOE to receive funds from US ED, GDOE must follow the special conditions. This page  contains updates on GDOE's special conditions.

As part of special conditions, GDOE contracted for a Third Party Fiduciary Agent (TPFA) to oversee the management of US ED funds. This page contains any updates on GDOE's plan to transition TPFA's responsibilities back to GDOE.
