DOH Issues Accountant Certification Statements for Future Financial Reports
The Department of Health (DOH) has just posted the Independent Certified Public Accountant (CPA) statements for the periods ending before Dec. 15, 2020. As LeadingAge NY has previously reported, the Department revised the Adult Care Facility (ACF) Financial Report significantly and will be requiring this statement in future reporting years. The Department will newly require certification for Enriched Housing Programs (EHPs) in future reporting years. Click here and here for the newly released statements.
As a reminder, DOH recently announced the availability of the 2018 ACF Annual Financial Report on the Health Commerce System (HCS); click here for more information. Members are urged to participate in a webinar on Nov. 18, 2019 at 2 p.m. to assist you in completing the revised report and to learn more about the changes to come for assisted living programs (ALPs) and EHPs in future reports. This will also be an opportunity to pose questions regarding the just-released CPA statements.
DOH strongly suggests submitting questions in advance by sending them to DOH’s Nancy Nowakowski via email at acffinrpt@health.ny.gov by Nov. 13th, as asking a question during a webinar can be challenging.
Below is information regarding how to access the webinar.
