The Compliance Analyst will be part of the MAA cross-functional teams, which include F&A and Recharge.
The Federal government requires that charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These "records" must be supported by a system of internal controls providing reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable and properly allocated.
Reasonably reflect the total activity for which the University compensates the employee, include both Federally assisted and all other compensated activities. Support the distribution of the employees' salaries among specific activities.
For the UW faculty this is accomplished through the Faculty Effort Certification (FEC) reports. For non-faculty salary, this is accomplished through Grant and Contract Certification Reports (GCCR).
