AUDITING SERVICES
Audits Done Right, On Time, Every Time
We are the partner schools turn to when they need more than a “check-the-box” audit and are ready for a specialist who understands proprietary education inside and out.
Are you outgrowing your current Title IV audit firm?
Are you dealing with audit delays, turnover, or poor communication?
Are you looking for strategic guidance and not just an audit report?
If answered yes, talk to us.
AUDITING SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Financial Statement Audits
GAAP-compliant financial statement audits that clearly present your institution’s financial health and support DOE financial responsibility requirements.
We help you understand how audit results affect Composite Score calculations and long-term strategy before they become problems.
Title IV Compliance Audits
Comprehensive compliance audits for institutions participating in Federal Student Aid programs.
With our team of FA professionals and Certified Financial Aid Administrators® we help you maintain a clean Title IV record and meet all FSA Audit Guide expectations.
OUR PROVEN AUDITING PROCESS
The McClintock compliance team was efficient and accommodating under a very tight audit deadline, providing clear documentation expectations and communication. Their expertise and professionalism helped strengthen our compliance and made it an easy decision to also transition our financial statement audits to McClintock. They are a pleasure to work with.
