Our Specialized Services for Title IV Schools:
Financial Audit Readiness & Support
Annual financial audits are a cornerstone of Title IV compliance. We prepare your school for successful audits by:
Pre-Audit Assessments: Conducting thorough reviews of your financial records, internal controls, and accounting practices to identify and address potential issues before the audit begins.
Documentation Organization: Assisting with the meticulous organization of all required financial documentation, including general ledgers, student accounts, payroll records, and expenditure reports.
Audit Liaison: Serving as a knowledgeable point of contact between your school and external auditors, facilitating smooth information exchange and addressing auditor inquiries efficiently.
Corrective Action Planning: Helping develop and implement effective corrective action plans for any audit findings, ensuring timely resolution and preventing future recurrences.
90/10 Rule Compliance & Strategy
The 90/10 Rule is a critical metric for proprietary institutions, limiting the percentage of revenue derived from Title IV funds. We help you proactively manage and maintain compliance:
Revenue Calculation & Monitoring: Accurately calculating your 90/10 ratio throughout the year and providing ongoing monitoring to prevent inadvertent non-compliance.
Strategic Planning: Developing strategies to diversify revenue streams and ensure your school remains well within the 90% threshold, safeguarding your eligibility for federal funding.
Reporting & Documentation: Assisting with the precise reporting and documentation required to demonstrate adherence to the 90/10 Rule.
Composite Score Analysis & Improvement
Your institution's Composite Score is a key indicator of financial responsibility, assessed by the Department of Education. A strong score is vital for continued Title IV participation. We offer:
Score Calculation & Interpretation: Analyzing your financial statements to accurately calculate your Composite Score and providing clear interpretations of its implications.
Financial Health Strategies: Developing actionable strategies to improve your school's financial ratios, enhancing your Composite Score and demonstrating long-term stability.
Proactive Planning: Identifying potential weaknesses and implementing proactive measures to strengthen your financial position well in advance of annual reporting.
