WHAT IS A CROSSWALK?
A crosswalk is a spreadsheet used to explain the differences between how expenses are shown on a providers audit or financial statements and how they were entered on the cost report. A crosswalk would be needed if their audit/financial statement did not organize costs in the manner needed to complete the cost report. The crosswalk should indicate where each amount originated on the audit/financial statement, where it was moved to on the cost report, why it was moved and the grand total has to tie back to audit/financial statement. The example shown below is from a provider with one department/cost center. Audit Line Item Outpatient Treatment 1xx 2xx 3xx 4xx 5xx 6xx 8xx Salaries 1,367,003 Benefits 140,309 Payroll taxes 128,903 Contract services 102,284 Office Supplies 39,366 Medical Supplies 28,970 Rent 176,206 Training 10,570 Maintenance 13,383 Telephone 6,300 Utilities 13,213 Due & Subscriptions 2,563 Travel 2,914 Depreciation 38,536 Total 1,636,215 68,336 48,943 214,742 102,284 2,070
