Service Center Rate Review
Directive Statement
The Auxiliary Accounting Office notifies Service Centers when rate reviews are required on a regular basis, typically biannually. The selected Service Centers will receive instructions for completing the rate review and any corresponding deadlines.
It is advised that Service Centers conduct their own rate reviews annually with the highest accountable administrator of the area.
FSEA Fiscal personnel must complete an FSEA Rate Review Workbook Excel File; see attachments above, to reconcile their financials for the year. Once the Workbook is completed, a Rate Review Submission Form in OnBase must be filled out using the following link.
In addition to completing all the fields on the OnBase form, the requester should upload all associated documents into OnBase as well.
Reason for Directive
OMB Uniform Guidance requires service centers to review their rates at least on a biennial basis to determine whether an upward or downward adjustment of rates is necessary.
Who must comply?
All service/recharge centers.
Uncompleted Rate Reviews
Follow-up emails will be sent to remind the delinquent FSEA’s and notify the Dean’s office and Contract & Grants that the users cannot be charged with unapproved rates.
List of Approved Rates
Division of Sponsored Programs (DSP) and Contracts and Grants (C&G) receive from the Auxiliary Accounting Office a list of identified service centers and their rate approval status on a regular basis.
Reminder: Costs already reimbursed through the Facilities and Administrative (indirect) cost rate e.g., administrative salaries and equipment depreciation cannot be included in center rates.
