The mission of the Cost Analysis and Compliance Section of the Office of

University’s F&A rate while minimizing the potential for cost
disallowance by the federal government.  In addition, the area is
responsible for assisting campus units in the establishment, monitoring,

The Director’s role includes a combination of management,
administrative, and high-level cost accounting responsibilities.  The

work with departmental units including Physical Plant and other
Auxiliary Units to understand the intricacy of their cost allocation
methodologies.  The Director is responsible for maintaining a rules
based expert software system that calculates the University’s F&A Cost
Proposal.  This system assists the Director in identifying issues which
must then be discussed with units for resolution. In order to maintain
this system the Director must work with many University financial and
systems departments such as members of the Controller’s Area, Accounting
Services, Payroll, Asset Management, Physical Plant, Facilities
Management, and AIS to ensure that information and computer downloads
from these departments are organized in a fashion that will accurately
reflect the University’s financial picture and provides meaningful data
for the University F&A Cost Proposal.

Responsibilities must be carried out in a timely manner; in full
compliance with the regulations of the University, the state, and the
federal government in such a way that compliance is maintained, while
permitting maximum flexibility to University units.  The Director for
the Cost Analysis and Compliance section reports directly to the
Executive Director of the Office of Contracts and Grants and manages a
staff of two employees.
