CCH Accounting Research Manager® Adds Knowledge-Based Audits of Health Care Organizations

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., December 6, 2007) – Now, there’s in-depth help with audits of health care organizations available from CCH, a Wolters Kluwer business and a leading provider of tax, accounting and audit information, software and services (CCHGroup.com). Knowledge-Based Audits of Health Care Organizations is a comprehensive module in the CCH Accounting Research Manager® (ARM) that helps professionals comply with risk assessment standards.

“To properly assess risk, auditors must know the special characteristics of the entities they’re examining,” noted Cynthia Kaplan, CCH product manager. “With this module, ARM provides them with the background and specific tools they need to meet today’s more stringent requirements.”

Knowledge-Based Audits of Health Care Organizations guides users through the various types of health care organizations, from hospitals and managed care organizations to physician practice groups and home health agencies, for-profit and non-profit, governmental and nongovernmental, each with its own characteristics. It points out how the characteristics and structural makeup impact the accounting and auditing practices of the organization and how these in turn are important when customizing the audit plan, forming risk assessments and developing audit procedures to ensure an effective audit in accordance with GAAS.

Special attention is paid to areas that represent significant audit risk, such as patient accounts receivable and net patient service revenues; third-party settlements and contractual adjustments; and malpractice reserves.

Knowledge-Based Audits of Health Care Organizations includes: knowledge-based audit documents, which contain steps and procedures required by GAAS; audit programs that guide the auditor through related steps and procedures; practice aids that help the auditor complete steps or processes outlined in other documents; correspondence document templates for engagement letters and confirmation requests; and auditor’s reports document templates for a variety of sample auditor’s opinions on audited financial statements.
