Most ARF administrators never received formal financial training yet fiscal mismanagement is one of the fastest paths to license revocation and facility closure. This 2-hour course delivers practical, Title 22-grounded instruction on the full financial lifecycle of an ARF operation: building and managing a resident-based budget, understanding funding streams (SSI/SSP, Medi-Cal, regional center vendorization, private pay), maintaining legally required fiscal records, and preparing for CDSS and regional center financial audits. You will learn the itemization and protection requirements for resident personal funds, the prohibition on co-mingling, allowable facility charges versus prohibited charges, and the IRS/EDD documentation administrators must maintain. Rate-setting fundamentals including DDS rate reform updates effective 7/1/2024 — are covered with direct application to ARF budget planning. This course is built for the administrator who is both the compliance officer and the business operator in one role.
