Audit Reporting

MDHHS contracts with provider agencies requiring that providers submit various audit reports, examination reports, or audit exemption notices to MDHHS.  The requirements vary depending on the type of provider, the type of contract, and the amount and type of funding. Refer to your contract for the specific requirement for your situation. Explanations of some requirements are provided in the Audit Requirements link.  Instructions for submitting required reports or notices are included in the How to Report link. Providers exempt from audit report filing are required to provide MDHHS with a notice that certifies the exemption.  MDHHS will issue a management decision on findings and questioned costs contained in audit reports or examination reports.  Details regarding the management decision are provided in the Management Decision link.  MDHHS-issued Substance Use Disorder Services Program Audit Guidelines and Community Mental Health Compliance Examination Guidelines are available at the links provided below.
