Consolidated Fiscal Reporting
Interagency Committee
November 2012
Dear Fiscal Officer:
The Consolidated Fiscal Reporting (CFR) Manual and forms for the January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012 reporting period are now available. A summary of notable changes to the Calendar Year 2012 CFR Manual as well as State Agency specific special information can be found on pages 2 and 3 of this letter; other essential CFR information follows on the subsequent pages.
Acquisition of CFR Manuals and Forms
CFR manuals and forms are available for download from the NYS Education Department Rate Setting Unit’s homepage at http://www.oms.nysed.gov/rsu/Manuals_Forms/Manuals/CFR.html.
Consolidated Fiscal Reporting System (CFRS) Software
All service providers are expected to use CFRS software approved by the CFR Interagency Committee to create the appropriate CFR submission. Additionally, approved CFRS software can be used to create Consolidated Budget Reports (CBRs) and intra-year State Aid claims (CQRs) for the Calendar Year 2012 reporting period. The New York State Office of Mental Health is the sole vendor for the Calendar Year 2012 reporting period.
Service providers are expected to download the software via the Internet. When the NYS-issued CFRS software is approved, it will be available for download at the CFRS Home Page: https://www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/cfrsweb/default.asp. As of this date, approval has not yet been issued for the Calendar Year 2012 reporting period.
For assistance with the New York State software, please refer to the CFRS Home Page and its Table of Contents or the CFRS Software Online HELP function. If you need additional assistance, please call the Help Desk at 1-800-HELPNYS (if outside of New York State call 518-474-5554); or e-mail at helpdesk@omh.ny.gov. The certifying/funding State Agencies may also be of assistance (see Section 8 of the CFR Manual for the related telephone numbers).
Calendar Year 2012 CFR Due Date(s) and Requests for Extensions
The due date of the Calendar Year 2012 CFR is May 1, 2013. A thirty day extension will be granted to providers who electronically complete and submit the Pre-Approved 30-Day Extension Request by May 1, 2013. The Pre-Approved 30-Day Extension Request Form must be electronically completed and submitted using Survey Monkey. No response to this extension request will be sent; therefore, you should print a copy for your files prior to submitting the completed form. The pre-approved extension does not apply to the required claiming schedules for all OASAS funded service providers. Please refer to Section 4.0 of the CFR Manual.
The link to the Pre-Approved 30-Day Extension Request is available from the NYS Education Department at: http://www.oms.nysed.gov/rsu/Manuals_Forms/Manuals/CFRManual/home.html
NOTE: A PAPER COPY OF THE EXTENSION FORM WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
BY ANY OF THE FUNDING STATE AGENCIES.

Submission of the CFR Document
Service providers are expected to submit their completed Calendar Year 2012 CFR electronically via the Internet. Service providers will access the webpage at http://www.omh.ny.gov/omhweb/cfrsweb/default.asp to upload their CFR submission. On a daily basis, the information received is distributed to the appropriate State Agency(ies).
Submission of CFR Certification Pages
Please note that OASAS, OMH, OPWDD and SED currently do not accept electronic certifications or signatures for CFR submissions. Therefore, in addition to transmitting the CFR via the Internet, service providers must also submit signed paper copies of the required certification schedules (CFR-i, CFR-ii/CFR-iiA and CFR-iii) and certified financial statements to each funding State Agency by the due date in the CFR Manual. Sending copies of the certification schedules to the County or local DDSO does not fulfill this requirement. Copies of the certification schedules MUST also be sent directly to the state agencies. To determine if Schedules CFR-ii, CFR-iiA, CFR-iii or certified financial statements are required, please refer to Sections 2.0, 6.0, 11.0 and 12.0 of the CFR Manual. Please refer to pages 2.11 and 2.12 of the CFR Manual for information on where to send your agency’s CFR certification pages and certified financial statements. Additionally, the Document Control Number (DCN) of your agency’s Internet submission must match the DCN that appears on the paper certification schedules mailed to each funding State Agency.
