490.7 - Contacting State Agencies or Their Fiscal Agents - (Rev. 1, 08- 30-02) A1-1603.7 In those instances where the intermediary is also the State's fiscal agent and responsible for audit of the providers, there should be no difficulty working out an agreement which would be acceptable to the State and CMS. Where the intermediary has established contacts with the State agencies responsible for grants-in-aid programs, the feasibility for a common audit program should be explored with them. If the intermediary has not established contact with the State agencies, they should request assistance from their CMS regional office of their progress toward the establishment of a common audit program. Multi-State intermediaries should contact the appropriate fiscal specialist in the CMS central office for assistance and reporting progress.
