Duties Description The Office of Mental Health (OMH) is recruiting to fill a Mental Health Financing Program Manager, M-5, position in the Office of Financial Management, Community Budget and Financial Management Group.

• Oversee the implementation of A-133 Single Audit requirements for NYS providers receiving Federal funds in sufficient amounts to require an A-133 single audit that must be
submitted to NYS OMH upon completion annually.

• Manage data analysis, internal/external reporting, and agency liaison functions.

• Manage annual budget of $2.3 billion and provide expenditure reporting to OMH executive management, the Division of the Budget, and the Office of the State Comptroller.

• Ensure management and internal accounting controls in annual State and Federal funding.

• Manage Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) and/or the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) deferrals, reviews, and audits.

• Manage financial requirements of over $200 million in Federal grant awards, the New York Medicaid Redesign Team, and initiatives of the Office of Mental Health.

• Complete annual audits, compliance testing, and external reports including the Internal Control Act, the New York Times and National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors’ (NASMHPD) reports, Federal expenditure reports as well as Legislative reports on Kendra’s Law and Anti-Stigma funds.
