Higher Education has been a priority sector for Deloitte since the firm began supporting colleges and universities over 100 years ago. Since then, Deloitte has cultivated strong relationships with a diverse array of institutions including university systems, public and private colleges, community colleges and all Carnegie classifications of research institutions.  We support these educational institutions by analyzing their controls and processes that address key risk areas and functions such as research management, admissions, and endowments, as well as risks and controls related to evolving IT systems, applications, and cyber and digital risks. We assist organizations in innovating and modernizing to bring deeper insights, provide guidance to help inform business decisions, and anticipate emerging risks to have greater impact and influence within the institution. Through innovative methods, advanced analytics, and labs, we can help you potentially bring greater value to the institution from assurance, compliance, and controls advisory activities.
 
We can assist you in confirming that the right processes and controls are in place, and also help advise on and anticipate risks that are critical to your institution and students. We can help drive business value for your organization by leveraging innovation. Our experienced higher education professionals include former higher education administrators, leaders, and specialists who marry their industry experience with Deloitte methodologies to serve as trusted advisors. We have deep experience in crucial areas such as Enterprise Risk Management, IT & Cybersecurity, Research Operations & Grants Management, and Crisis Management & Recovery.
