Purpose
To determine whether the Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) submitted timely a
quality Internal Control Certification to the Division of Budget (DOB) by April 30, 2012.
Background
In 1987, the Legislature passed the New York State Governmental Accountability, Audit
and Internal Control Act requiring State agencies and public authorities to each institute a
comprehensive system of internal controls over their operations. By April 30 each year, DOB
requires the head of each covered agency to certify compliance with the Internal Control Act by
submitting a certification and internal control summary detailing the internal control activities
undertaken during the previous year. On April 30, 2012, OMIG submitted its annual Internal
Control Certification and reported full compliance with all provisions of the Act, except for one
provision that was not applicable.
Key Findings
- OMIG's Internal Control Certification was submitted timely and exhibited the necessary quality. Answers were complete and responsive, and were supported by records and documentation maintained by the agency.
Key Recommendations
- None
