Who may submit the reports of its subordinate ACNs?

• A. A Home ACN or a Host ACN
• B. Any ARC agent with access
• C. Only the subordinate ACN itself
• D. Only the ARC central office

Answer: (A)

This question tests who has authority to file reports for subordinates. In ARC practices, the entity that oversees a group of ACNs—the Home ACN or a Host ACN—has the authority to submit the reports for all of its subordinate ACNs. This centralized submission ensures consolidated data, accountability, and consistent reporting under the parent entity. An individual ARC agent may not file on behalf of subordinates unless they are functioning in that authorized role, and the subordinate ACN would typically handle its own direct submissions. The ARC central office handles its own reports, not the subordinate subordinates’ filings.
