From regulatory compliance and financial sustainability to governance and strategic transformation, our higher education team understands the unique challenges you face.
Crowe has decades of experience working with social purpose and non profit organisations including those in the education sector. We support universities and higher education institutions with a comprehensive suite of audit, tax, advisory, and risk management services.
As higher education providers that follow the Charities SORP, Oxford and Cambridge colleges require specialist advice and support from their auditors. Our team are the partners you need.
Our grants audit work spans a wide range of funding streams such as DfE, Innovate UK, Turing Scheme, TPS certifications, US Single Audits and audits of US Federal Aid, meaning we have the ability and experience to navigate and meet the complex compliance requirements of both UK and international funding programmes.
Where required, we can provide Title IV audits for U.S. Federal Student Aid, ensuring full compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Department of Education. Our team will perform detailed testing of student eligibility, disbursement processes, return of Title IV funds, and reporting obligations. Our proven methodology and understanding of the US Department of Education’s Foreign School Audit Guide ensure only the highest quality of work.
You can also rely on us to keep you abreast of regulatory changes and developments for example, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4, 2025, introduces the most significant changes to federal student loans in decades. These changes will fundamentally alter how institutions calculate student loan eligibility.
