Please share the following with your agency Audit Liaisons, Servicing Personnel Offices, Payroll Coordinators/Liaisons, and/or anyone who may need this information.
The annual OPM AUP begins in the April/May timeframe. The purpose of the audit is to assist OPM in assessing the reasonableness of Retirement, Health Benefits, and Life Insurance withholdings, contributions, and data submissions. The designated auditor will conduct the audit procedures and report any differences, above a specific percentage threshold, as described in the AUPs found here: Reports | Office of Personnel Management (opm.gov). To locate the AUPs for a given Fiscal Year (FY), select the ‘Payroll AUPs FY CCYY’ link for that FY. Please note: As of the date of this memo, the ‘Payroll AUPs FY 2023’ link has not been posted.
We would like to remind agencies of the areas of responsibilities (reflected in the table below), for each of the procedures identified in the above link, in providing auditors with any requested data artifacts and explanations of agency differences.
