Pupil Auditing
In Michigan, Pupil Accounting refers to the process of collecting, verifying, and reporting student enrollment and attendance data to determine school funding. This data is used to calculate state aid for public schools based on the number of students enrolled and in attendance on specific count days designated by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE).
Pupil Accounting ensures compliance with state laws, policies, and regulations regarding student attendance, residency, and instructional time. Schools must maintain accurate records and submit reports that reflect student participation in various educational programs.
