Subject: OFM Statistical Sampling Program Reminder




To All RDE Sites,

I am writing this to remind you of the new requirements for providing 
supporting documentation for certain RDE entries to the Office of 
Financial Management.   These were first announced in Instructional 
Memorandum 97-02, which you should have received in November, and 
which you can find on the USGS Intranet under the  Ref Doc button 
(http://www.usgs.gov:8888/usgs-manual/95imlist.html).    We are asking 
for this documentation as part of the post-entry audit process under our 
statistical sampling plan for all payments and purchase orders.

Please note that all Remote Data Entry Payments, Bankcard Statements, 
and Purchase Orders equal to or greater than $5,000 must be faxed to 
OFM immediately after entering the documents into FFS. Please fax all 
source documents and supporting documentation to the Attention of Jo 
Ann Egan at 703-648-4112. Mark the documents ‘Statistical Sampling'.

Please do not fax payments, purchase orders, or bankcard statements less 
than $5,000 unless you are contacted by OFM.   All  documents are 
subject to random selection for post-entry audit review by our 
statistical 
sampling program; if any of your entries under $5,000 is selected, we 
will 
contact you.       

Please refer to Instructional Memorandum OFM-97-02, Post-Entry Audit 
and Statistical Sampling Plan, for additional information.   If you have 
further questions, please contact Mary Christensen at 703-648-7608, or 
email to mchriste@usgs.gov.
