The MRA AFS was created in response to Section 701 of the Medical Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act and Rule 20 of the Marijuana Licenses rules – R 420.20. The AFS must be conducted by an independent, certified public accountant (“CPA”) and reported in the prescribed format that has been provided by the MRA. All licensed cannabis businesses in the State of Michigan are required to complete an AFS report. Recent legislation signed into law by Governor Whitmer on December 7th, 2021, with House Bill No. 4921 (Public Act No. 119 of 2021) provides respite for licensed cannabis businesses allowing AFS reporting every 3 years, or a shorter time period as determined by the MRA. Stay tuned for further guidance from your Grapp Lerash cannabis team in regard to future AFS reporting requirements.
