MQA Quarterly Performance Report

MQA Q4 2014 - 2015

By the Numbers

This section details MQA’s financial data, specifically the fees that are deposited into the trust fund and

expenses paid from it. At year end, MQA calculates the cost to regulate the professions and reviews the

adequacy of license renewal fees to make sure operations by the boards are sustainable.

The department shall provide a management report of revenues and expenditures, performance measures, and

recommendations to each board at least once a quarter.

Since Fiscal Year 2008-2009, MQA has provided 66 fee scenarios to boards and councils that resulted in 27

professions reducing 81 fee types and two professions increasing three fee types. Last fiscal year, the Division

presented 15 scenarios that resulted in 11 professions reducing 28 fee types.
