payroll: Federal Student Aid audit - Summer 2008

[paynews <paynews@uoregon.edu>]

To Student Employment Personnel:

The Federal Student Aid Auditors will be visiting the University of Oregon 
this summer. They will be reviewing processes for awarding and monitoring 
usage of federal student aid and verifying that reconciliation processes 
are in place.

In advance of and in preparation for this visit, the Financial Aid Office 
is conducting audits of Federal Work-Study student personnel records from 
the individual departments on campus.  The audits by the Financial Aid 
Office will include site visits and interviews with personnel in charge of 
student hire paperwork and timesheets.

The Financial Aid Office will select a small group of students' names from 
each employer and request hire paperwork, timesheets, job descriptions and 
any other available personnel records from the employing department.  We 
will also verify that the student job descriptions are listed in the 
Student Jobs System.

In this early review, we hope to be able to demonstrate the University's 
Administrative Capability for managing federal student aid.  By meeting 
the requirements of Administrative Capability, the University of Oregon 
will be able to continue offering the Federal Work-Study program to its 
students.

If you have any questions about this audit, or would like to make 
arrangements for a specific time period that would best fit with your 
department's workload, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks.

Kyna
