Consolidated Fiscal Reporting
Interagency Committee
May 2013
Dear Fiscal Officer:
The Consolidated Fiscal Reporting (CFR) Manual and forms for the July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 reporting period are now available. A summary of notable changes to the 2012/2013 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 2012/2013 reporting period. The New York State Office of Mental Health is the sole vendor for the 2012/2013 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 2012/2013 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).
2012/2013 CFR Due Date(s) and Requests for Extensions
The due date of the 2012/2013 CFR is November 1, 2013. A thirty day extension will be granted to providers who electronically complete and submit the Pre-Approved 30-Day Extension Request by November 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.
Significant Change in the CFR Manual, Software and/or Forms for 2012/2013
-
The CFR-ii has been updated to bring it into compliance with the AICPA's, Auditing Standards Board, SAS No. 122, Statements on Auditing Standards: Clarification and Recodification and SAS No. 119, Supplementary Information in Relation to the Financial Statements as a Whole, and the related interpretive publications for these Statements on Auditing Standards.
-
A new field entitled “Certified Financial Statement Period” has been added in the CFR Software on CFR-i. Per Section 10 of the CFR Manual, providers are required to report the beginning date and ending date of the period covered by the certified financial statements in this field.
-
Line 32 of the DMH-2 has been inactivated because the change in the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is not an allowable adjustment to revenue for Aid to Localities (State Aid) funded programs. Please see Frequently Asked Questions on page 8.14 for guidance on the reporting of bad debt. This affects both OASAS and OMH.
- Two additional points added to Appendix X to limit allowable costs relating to goodwill and training.

Submission of the CFR Document
Service providers are expected to submit their completed 2012/2013 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 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) to OMH, OPWDD
and SED by the due date in the CFR Manual. Sending copies of the certification schedules to the County or
local DDRO does not fulfill this requirement. Copies of the certification schedules MUST also be sent directly to
the funding state agencies. To determine if Schedules CFR-ii, CFR-iiA and CFR-iii 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.
OASAS will accept electronic certifications and signatures for CFR submissions. Please refer to Section 2 of the Consolidated Fiscal Reporting and Claiming Manual.
Submission of Financial Statements
Note: Section 6 of the CFR Manual is amended, to require providers subject to consolidated financial
statement reporting in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to submit their audited and certified consolidated
financial statements. If available, they should also submit financial statements reflecting information
relating to the provider as a stand-alone entity as well.
OMH and SED currently do not accept electronic submission of financial statements. Rules that apply to the certification pages outlined above, apply to the submission of a provider’s financial statements to OMH and SED as well.
OPWDD and OASAS do currently accept electronic submission of financial statements. Please refer to Section
2 of the Consolidated Fiscal Reporting and Claiming Manual for submission details.
Submission of Final State Aid Claim Schedules for OASAS
OASAS expects all service providers to prepare State Aid claim schedules using approved Consolidated Fiscal Reporting System (CFRS) software and to file those schedules electronically via the Internet.
Service providers receiving State Aid through a direct contract with OASAS are required to submit paper copies of CFR schedules CFR-i, CFR-iii and DMH-2 to the Bureau of Financial Management in Albany.
Service providers receiving State Aid through a local contract with a county Local Governmental Unit (LGU) should contact the county for their specific county submission requirements.
