(1) in sufficient detail to permit the commissioner to make an informed decision with respect to the requested extension.

(4)  A care management organization may not retain an accountant or accounting firm to comply with sub. (1) or s.

A care management organization may not retain an accountant or accounting firm to comply with sub. (1) or s. Ins 57.31 if the commissioner under s. Ins 57.32 (1) rules that the accountant or accounting firm is not qualified or if the accountant or accounting firm does not comply with s. Ins 57.32 (2) .
