Overview

The Consolidated Fiscal Reporting System (CFRS) is a standardized reporting method accepted by these state agencies (OASAS, OMH, OPWDD, SED, DOH and OCFS), consisting of schedules which, in different combinations, capture financial information for budgets, quarterly and/or mid-year claims, an annual cost report, and a final claim. 

The Consolidated Fiscal Report (CFR) is required to be completed by service providers that receive funding from or operate certified programs for any or all of the following New York State agencies.

  • Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services (OASAS)
  • Office of Mental Health (OMH)
  • Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD)
  • State Education Department (SED)

For more information please see the CFR Manual.
