A-133 Single Audit

It is clear that the Recovery Act funds have and will continue to bring opportunities to higher education over the next two years. Your organization can enjoy the benefits and depend on our single audit team for help with the A-133 reporting requirements.

403(b)

Because of recent statutory and administrative changes in the rules governing 403(b) plans, many public and private colleges and universities may encounter new challenges ensuring that their 403(b) arrangements satisfy the complex requirements outlined by both the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).

Cost Containment

Faced with providing a quality education and competitive services on a tight budget? Anticipating a budget deficit and making hard decisions on services and class offerings? Plante & Moran consultants are accustomed to working with colleges and universities that find themselves in situations like these. They also understand when you say you are experiencing unprecedented scrutiny from your private and public funders.

PCI DSS

PCI DSS compliance is required for all organizations, including higher educational institutions, hospitals, and retailers that store, process, or transmit cardholder data. The number of cardholder transactions performed annually determines the process necessary to obtain PCI DSS compliance.

From facilities planning to construction management, when our higher education clients have questions about real estate, they can turn to Plante Moran CRESA for answers. The CRESA team includes architects, engineers, and financial consultants.
