Yes I should have noted that my team doesn’t do Finance, Estates or Staff, but only the Student-related Statutory Returns.
Cheers

Hello Helen and colleagues
Here at the OU we use our in-house SAS system (a bolt-on to the elderly student records system) to produce KIS, together with Excel input
files to hold information not held centrally (e.g. accreditation). We wrote a bespoke SAS program which extracts and creates the KIS record. There are some things we’d like to tweak, but I agree with you that not worth making major changes at this stage.
Similar to City, the KIS return is produced by a team responsible for most other statutory returns (except Finance and Estates).

At Heriot-Watt, we collate some of the information in Excel (master list of KIS-able courses, L&T splits per module, Assessment splits per module, Accommodation costs,
Statutory Body statements) then upload this into Banner to generate the xml file for the Return (including calculating the L&T and Assessment splits by course). The Planning Office holds the responsibility for co-ordinating the data collection (and data checking)
and preparing the Return.

At City University London…
We use Tribal SITS for the preparation of the return, resorting to Excel to do calculations where academic model changes cause the automatic KCS calculations to not work properly (we then manually enter the calculated
values)
The Student Systems and Data Quality team at City prepare all Statutory Returns. This team sits within the Academic Operations Section of the Student and Academic Services Department.
Best regards

Hello all,
Just a quick enquiry about the KIS return. Can I please ask:
a)
How do you compile/calculate the return? E.g. Student Record System capability, third-party KIS software (is there such a thing?), Access, Excel, etc.
b)
Which team/dept take responsibility for the return in your institution? I appreciate this has to be a group effort, but I’m interested to know who take the lead for the return.
We are reviewing our current procedure and I’m curious to know how others manage the return. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Many thanks,
Helen Miles
