Higher Education
Who we serve: Diverse array of higher education clients
CohnReznick works with institutions to deliver tailored audit, tax, and advisory solutions. From financial transformation to cybersecurity, we help colleges and universities achieve sustainable success.
We work with private not-for-profit colleges and universities to support their long-term planning efforts, integrate technology to enhance operational efficiency, improve accountability and transparency, identify and mitigate risks, and meet compliance and other reporting requirements.
We help foundations navigate the complex accounting and reporting standards related to donor giving, including planned giving programs, and implement practices to strengthen corporate governance and transparency independent of the related school while balancing financial sustainability with supporting the college/university.
We help for-profit colleges and universities leverage their investments and maximize returns while maintaining proper governance, compliance, and internal controls and strengthening long-term viability.
Our team provides expertise to colleges or universities involved in activities such as facility rentals, camps and other programs, real estate development, construction and management, research and development, retail and hospitality. We offer the needed services to help ensure proper organizational structure, tax planning, internal controls, cybersecurity, and financial reporting.
We assist public colleges and universities with protecting taxpayer funds through effective internal control systems, contract monitoring, financial reporting, and compliance testing and monitoring.
