An audit report was filed on July 22, 2009 on the administration of New York State standardized tests by the New York City Department of Education (DOE). The audit determined whether DOE has adequate internal controls over the administering of New York standardized tests for grades 3, 4, and 5. It was determined that DOE has adequate internal controls with respect to ensuring that schools are familiar with establishing procedures when administering standardized tests at elementary schools, and has also conformed to established rules and regulations. However, DOE lacks sufficient controls to deter manipulation of test scores and cheating. Recommendations were made to rectify these issues.
