Beyond Recovery Auditing

SpendMend goes beyond standard recovery auditing by offering complementary financial recovery services to help your university capture every dollar they are owed.

Identify and recover assets that have gone unclaimed. We help universities comply with escheatment laws while reclaiming funds owed from vendors and agencies.

We help institutions pursue and collect eligible government-issued funds tied to education grants, pandemic relief, and other programs—often overlooked due to complexity or lack of visibility.

Ensure vendors follow through on pricing and service terms. Our reviews uncover errors, enforce accountability, and improve cost control across key contracted services.
