2 Compliance Review Services Research Financial Compliance Evaluation A Research Financial Compliance Evaluation is a review of certain identified risk areas that include a number of the “High Risk Areas” of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Work Plans: Effort reporting and level of commitment, National Institutes of Health (NIH) Career (“K”) Award effort commitments, NIH Salary Cap and cost sharing, Administrative and clerical salaries – charges are not allowable to federal grants absent specific circumstances justification (CAS forms), Allowability and allocability of charges to grants, Cost transfers – analysis of whether these transfers are appropriately documented, allowable and timely, Reconciliation, supporting documentation and accounting practices, Endowment fund usage.

6 HIPAA Privacy/IT Security Issues Develop a Formal Process to Identify and Track ePHI Need to have a process in place to identify and track where PIs are storing electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). Need a process to inventory which PIs and protocols capture or create PHI. Develop a system to identify where ePHI will be stored for all initial protocols. Verify and review compliance for the location on an annual basis when protocols are submitted for renewal. Create or Update Information Security Operations Plans (ISOPs) Certify new and existing systems to achieve compliance. Update ISOPs when changes occur.

Mandatory Compliance Training Compliance Orientation must take place within 90 days of employment. Annual updates required for all. Check your Compliance Exception Reports!
