Legislative Audit Bureau
June 24, 1997
The Honorable, The Senate:
We have completed financial audits of the Mendota and Winnebago Mental Health Institutes for fiscal year 1995-96. We were able to provide unqualified opinions on the Institutes' financial statements. However, we noted that on an accrual basis, Mendota Mental Health Institute had a loss of over $836,000 and Winnebage Mental Health Institute had a loss of over $3 million. In addition, the Institutes combined had a $10.9 million unsupported cash deficit on June 30, 1996. Therefore, it appears the cash deficit will not be eliminated by July 1, 1999, as required by legislative mandate. However, a proposal to increase reimbursement for services provided to Medical Assistance patients is currently under legislative consideration. If enacted, the higher Medical Assistant revenues would help reduce the accumulated deficit.
Detailed copies of the audit report have been distributed to members of the Joint Audit Committee and those required by law to receive detailed copies. If you are interested in receiving a copy of the audit report, please contact our office and request a copy of report 97-10.
Sincerely,
Dale Cattanach
State Auditor
