Keeping Institutions Compliant
Our Team Works with You to Avoid Auditing Pitfalls.
Title IV Compliance Audits
McClintock & Associates has serviced educational institutions from the beginning, evolving with the industry as we have grown.
For nearly 50 years, we have specialized in compliance audits for educational institutions that participate in the Federal Student Aid (FSA) programs. This experience has allowed us to develop and provide extensive consultative, planning, and training services in addition to (or in lieu of) a formal compliance audit.
Rules and regulations surrounding the FSA programs are constantly changing. We work with you to ensure your institution achieves and maintains the highest level of compliance with Title IV laws, allowing you to focus on creating opportunities for your students.
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.
