CORE JOB SUMMARY

The ORA Service Center Research Cost Analyst 3 plays a critical role in safeguarding the fiscal integrity of the University’s research enterprise. The ORA Service Center Research Cost Compliance Analyst 3 administers a comprehensive billing audit and quality control program for institutional service centers, ensuring that charges to sponsored and non-sponsored projects are accurate, timely, and fully compliant with federal regulations and University policy.

Through full-cycle audits spanning rate development, usage documentation, system interfaces, and final invoice posting, the ORA Analyst 3 mitigates institutional risk, prevents federal disallowances, and ensures equitable and consistent charging practices for all researchers.

  • Performs detailed reconciliation of billed amounts against documented units of service maintained in laboratory records or electronic usage systems.
  • Monitors billing timeliness to ensure charges are posted, identifies and escalates late or stale charges that may contribute to grant overruns or audit exposure.

2. Rate Sheet Quality Assurance

  • Reviews tiered pricing structures to ensure correct application of internal versus external rates, with particular attention to ensuring federal sponsors are charged the lowest allowable internal rate.
  • Evaluates service centers receiving institutional subsidies to confirm that subsidy funds are properly applied and reflected in reduced costs to internal users.

3. Systems and Data Integrity

  • Reviews service center billing and financial data to identify discrepancies, unsupported charges, or systemic issues affecting billing accuracy and compliance.
  • Issues formal audit findings to departments and oversees the development and completion of corrective actions, including required journal entries and process improvements.
  • Coordinates with departments and ORA stakeholders to resolve identified issues and strengthen internal controls.

4. Compliance Support and Training

  • Maintains official audit documentation for each service center, including approved rate sheets, usage records, and sample invoices, in support of federal Single Audits and other external reviews.
  • Provides quality control guidance and training to service center and laboratory managers, emphasizing compliant documentation practices that withstand federal audit scrutiny.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert on service center billing compliance, supporting ORA leadership with audit preparation, policy interpretation, and risk mitigation.
  • Adheres to University and unit-level policies and procedures and safeguards University assets.
