Abstract	The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) convened the Examining Software Providers' Compliance With the NASFAA Code of Conduct Working Group in September 2019 to research and analyze the role that student financial aid management software plays in institutions' ability to provide accurate and clear aid offers. The group was tasked with examining software providers' ability and willingness to adapt to changes in the landscape of aid offers initiated by institutions, associations, or Congress, as well as the ease with which institutions' software allows them to comply with NASFAA's Code of Conduct. The working group comprised a geographically diverse group of seven NASFAA members from all postsecondary institutional sectors, with a particular emphasis on the inclusion of members from schools who represent users of as many financial aid management systems as possible, including homegrown systems. The group conducted its work between September 2019 and January 2020, and its recommendations were accepted and approved by the NASFAA Board of Directors in May 2020. Based on the research and discussions the working group developed, the NASFAA Board accepted and endorsed the full set of recommendations detailed in this report. The working group came up with 16 recommendations and best practices, which were divided into four different sections: recommendations for Congress, recommendations for NASFAA, best practices for software providers, and best practices for institutions. By organizing its report in this way, the working group hoped to show that improving financial aid offers is a shared responsibility that involves collaboration between multiple stakeholders.
