2017 – 2018 ARR Process & Submission Tips and Guidelines June 11 & June 12, 2018 Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector
What is the ARR (Annual Reconciliation Report) • An Excel based reporting tool designed specifically for health service provider year-end reporting • Provides the Ministry with information on your agency’s annual financial performance • Actual expenditures and services are reconciled with Ministry funding for accountability purposes • Reconciled with your audited financial statements for completeness and accuracy • Enables the Ministry to identify unspent funds to be recovered Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector 2
Getting Started on the ARR • 2017 -18 ARR report template is similar in format to last year’s template • The ARR User Guide prepared for 2017 -18 will be very helpful as a how-to-complete refresh. • User Guide is available on the South east LHIN website. Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector 3
Getting Started on the ARR • • Create the ARR template file in SRI and download this file to your local drive before starting to complete your report and save it to the same folder with your CAT Q 4 for easy reference. For valuable information, please read the first tab in the ARR template “Instructions-Please Read” Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector 4
Getting Started on the ARR • The ARR and the Q 4 SRI are not linked, but your Q 4 SRI report must be completed before you start the ARR report • Have a copy of your Q 4 SRI handy to facilitate data input to the ARR template • Work your way through the tabs/worksheets in the ARR template in sequential order, starting with the Data Input-ID tab • The ID worksheet must provide a contact name should there be questions about the information submitted Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector 5
Completing the ARR – Data Input • LHIN Programs, Ministry Managed Programs (MMP), and other MMP are reported on one ARR template, but on separate Data Input Tabs – Green tabs • Report tabs are Purple in colour, and will automatically calculate and populate related fields once the data input has been completed Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector 6
Completing the ARR – Data Input • Clear cells in the Data Input worksheets require manual data input where applicable • Cells with a blue, grey, light blue, green, or orange colour do not permit data entry. • These coloured cells calculate values based on the inputs in the other cells • Warning, please do not insert, edit, or delete any tab, row, or column in the ARR template. Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector 7
Completing the ARR – TPBEs • The Data Input worksheets must be completed by TPBE (Transfer Payment Business Entity) • TPBEs being reported by your agency are selected from dropdown menus along the top of the Data Input worksheet • For example, if your agency has a LHIN funded CSS program and Attendant Outreach, you must select a “LHIN-CSS” TPBE and a “AO” TPBE along the top of the Data Input-LHIN worksheet. Your agency will have two data input columns to complete • NOTE: There is no selection for SF Sessional Fees in the dropdown menu. Please use CMHP and record Sessional Fees on lines 5, 24 and 39 accordingly. Rose Tremblay, Senior Consultant Contracts Community Sector 8
Completing the ARR – Funding Initiative • If your agency receives separate funding for the following initiatives, the revenues and expenses must be reported separately from the overall funding allocation for 2017 -2018. • • • 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
