Which document must an adoption agency submit annually to Licensing?

• A. Annual financial report on a form provided by Licensing.
• B. Annual compliance report.
• C. Agency operating report.
• D. Tax return for the agency.

Answer: (A)

Licensing oversight requires regular financial accountability from adoption agencies, so the annual document is a financial snapshot filed on a form provided by Licensing. This standardized report shows income, expenses, assets, and liabilities, helping Licensing verify solvency, proper use of funds, and adherence to financial requirements. It keeps the agency accountable and allows the license to remain in good standing.

The other options don’t fit as the required annual submission to Licensing: a general annual compliance report focuses on policy adherence rather than finances; an agency operating report covers broader operations; and a tax return is filed with tax authorities, not Licensing.
