7.3    TPS Questions and Answers on Computed Measures

QUESTION 1: Field audit computed measures indicator 1 - Total Wage Change has as a numerator (total wages underreported + total wages overreported). Should the total underreported wages and total overreported wages for each audit performed be netted and used for this RQC computed measure?

ANSWER: No. The total underreported wages and overreported wages should be reported separately. The ideal method is to record the total underreported and overreported wages for each calendar quarter. Never net the two and report the difference.

Example: First quarter of 1993 has $5,000 under and $1,000 overreported, not $4000 underreported which is the difference of the two findings. Total wage change equals $6000.
