It’s Time to Ask the Following Questions
How early can I forecast my Composite Score to avoid surprises at the end of the year?
Is my auditor knowledgeable on Title IV regulations outside the scope of Single Audit?
Is it my responsibility to inform my auditor of new regulations, or should they keep me updated?
If you’re unsure about any of these questions, it may be time to contact one of our experts to schedule your Single Audit consultation!
What makes a Single Audit essential for your institution?
A Single Audit is a comprehensive audit of an institution’s financial statements, federal awards, and compliance with federal regulations. This audit is required for institutions that expend over $750,000* in federal funds in a fiscal year. It ensures that federal funds are used for their intended purposes and that your institution complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
*This $750,000 was increased to $1,000,000 for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2024. So the $750,000 threshold will be applicable for year-ends through 9/30/25.
Our Single Audit Services Include
Our Approach
Every engagement we take on follows the same planned, structured approach. Because in higher education compliance, surprises at the end are never acceptable.
Planning
We begin every engagement with a structured planning phase: reviewing prior-year findings, identifying risk areas, and agreeing on a shared timeline before anything moves forward. That means a request list with clear deadlines, an agreed-upon fieldwork window, and no surprises on either side. Nothing starts without a plan.
Fieldwork
Our team conducts thorough, efficient fieldwork. Because our staff already know higher education compliance inside and out, we don’t spend your time getting up to speed.
Reporting
We issue reports well before regulatory deadlines, not at the last minute. The gap between fieldwork and report issuance is something we’ve worked hard to eliminate.
Year-Round Support
Compliance doesn’t end when the audit does. We’re available 365 days a year to answer questions, flag regulatory changes, and support your team through whatever comes next.
What Makes Us Different
Dedicated to Higher Education
We serve only postsecondary institutions, not one of many industries. Our team speaks your language and understands the regulations that affect your financial health.
Educating the Educators
Regulations don’t pause, and neither do we. Our FAAC credentialed team has worked inside institutions, so we know this space from every angle. We proactively share what’s changing through webinars, articles, and trainings, so you’re never caught off-guard.
Zero Project Drag
We run a tight ship. Reports are issued well before deadlines and shortly after fieldwork wraps. We’re hyper-focused on moving projects forward efficiently, so nothing sits, nothing stalls, and nothing surprises you at the end.
We’re available 365 days a year to keep you ahead of regulatory changes.
