We assist postsecondary institutions with reviewing and maintaining their Program Participation Agreement (PPA) and related Title IV requirements. Our consulting support helps schools stay organized, identify areas requiring attention, and prepare for important institutional and regulatory updates.
Be prepared before the review begins. We help institutions organize financial aid documentation, review files and procedures, identify potential compliance concerns, and strengthen internal processes in preparation for annual audits and federal or state program reviews.
We provide guidance to help institutions maintain compliance with applicable Title IV federal student aid requirements. Services may include policy and procedure reviews, student eligibility, satisfactory academic progress (SAP), Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4), verification, professional judgment, and other financial aid compliance areas.
Accurate reconciliation is essential to maintaining a strong financial aid operation. We assist with monthly and year-end reconciliation, including reviewing institutional records against applicable federal systems and helping identify and resolve discrepancies involving Title IV funds.
We provide customized support for postsecondary schools that need assistance strengthening their day-to-day financial aid operations.
