NSF AUDIT UPDATE

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of the Inspector General has notified Oregon State University that it will be performing an incurred cost audit of awards issued to OSU and filed during the audit period beginning March 1, 2015 through February 28, 2018. It is important to note that audits of this nature routinely are performed at major research institutions around the country, including our peer land grant universities. OSRAA is teaming with Business Affairs and Audit Services on this. If you receive questions or have any of your own, please direct them to Pat Hawk.
