government compliance

As federal oversight intensifies, schools face growing scrutiny over compliance with Title IV and Post-9/11 GI Bill regulations, particularly in the realm of higher education compliance. The Department of Education (ED) and Veterans Affairs (VA) Offices of Inspector General (OIG) have repeatedly flagged improper payments, weak oversight, and risks tied to student withdrawals—issues that can result in funding losses, repayment demands, and reputational damage for institutions.

Common Compliance Pitfalls for Schools

• Ineligible Program Approvals: OIG audits revealed over $1.5 million in payments went to schools that did not meet eligibility requirements. For-Profit Sector Risks: For-profit institutions have historically received the majority of improper payments, making them high-priority targets for oversight. 

• Enrollment Changes & Withdrawals: Improper benefit payments often stem from late or inaccurate reporting of student withdrawals, leading to significant financial and compliance liabilities that can affect student retention.
