Problems with finance data reported through the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) are reported. Less than one percent of institutions appear to have reported incorrect data for the fiscal year (FY) 1983 finance survey. One reporting problem concerns state appropriations that are radically different in previous years or that are reported as $0. For public colleges, a $0 state appropriation is a flag for a potential problem. Another flag occurs when the amount of the Pell Grants exceeds the amount of restricted federal grants and contracts, since the latter includes Pell Grants. A chart of potential errors in reporting on the FY 1983 Finance Survey indicates the name of the college, the state, the amount of potential error (state and local appropriations, government grants and contracts, total revenue, and other), and comments about each potential error. A second chart of Pell Grant reporting errors shows for each college the amount of restricted federal government grants and contracts, and the amount of Pell grants. To determine if data problems exist with the HEGIS reporting, finance data for 5 years are listed according to specific categories. (SW)
