Each adult day health care provider shall maintain a uniform accounting and reporting system as developed by the department, in consultation with the provider. The department shall implement a uniform cost accounting system and train providers in this system by July 1, 1987. The California Department of Aging, in coordination with the department may approve an alternative cost accounting system where the provider demonstrates the ability to report comparable and reliable data.
The provider shall submit annual cost reports to the department, unless otherwise specified in an interagency agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1572 of the Health and Safety Code, no later than five months after the close of the licensee’s fiscal year. The report shall be submitted in the format prescribed by the state. Each facility shall maintain, for a period of four years following the submission of annual cost reports, financial and statistical records of the period covered by the cost reports which are accurate and in sufficient detail to substantiate the cost data reported.
These records shall be made available to state or federal representatives upon request. The department, unless otherwise specified in an interagency agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1572 of the Health and Safety Code, may request a financial review performed by an independent certified public accountant as part of the provider’s annual cost report. All certified financial statements shall be filed with the department within a period no later than three months after the department’s request.
The department, unless otherwise specified in an interagency agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1572 of the Health and Safety Code, may require a limited or complete certified public accountant audit when the monitoring activities carried out pursuant to Section 14573 reveal significant financial management deficiencies.
