Higher Education

We specialize in Student Financial Aid (SFA) audits and financial statement audits. Our audit approach is specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of proprietary schools. With nearly two decades of experience conducting audits for proprietary schools, we have the expertise to develop customized strategies that align with your school's objectives.

D&B’s background in auditing financial statements began in the private post-secondary education sector. We have worked with all sizes of institutions around the country as they struggle to stay in compliance with state and federal regulations.

In California, we are proud members of the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS) and assist our clients in compliance with the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE).

If your institution has Title IV funding, is looking to obtain it, or is content without accepting government student loans, we are able to help you. We understand what state and federal regulators require through satisfying financial ratios or complying with the U.S. Department of Education’s 90/10 rule.

Marketing and growing student population is the primary focus of most of the institutions we’ve worked with. Don’t let the headache of financial regulations stunt your growth as you strive to provide your students with a quality education at affordable costs.
