Title: 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: All Federal grant operations of Wilmington Housing Authority’s (the Authority) are included in the scope of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations part 200, Uniform Administration Requirement, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the Single Audit). The Single Audit was performed in accordance with the provisions of the U.S. Management of Budget OMB Compliance Supplement (the Compliance Supplement). Compliance testing of all requirements, as described in the Compliance Supplement, was performed for the grant program noted below. This program represents Federal award programs for fiscal year 2023 cash and non-cash expenditures to ensure coverage of at least 20% of federally granted funds. Actual coverage is approximately 74% of total cash and non-cash Federal award program expenditures. Expenditures reported on the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Expenditures are also subject to audit by the relevant Federal agency. In the opinion of management, disallowed costs, if any, from such audits will not have a material effect on this Schedule or the financial position of the Authority. Authority has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Authority has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (the Schedule) includes the Federal award activity of the Authority under programs of the Federal government for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Finding Details

Finding 2023-001 Programs: All Material Weakness over Financial Reporting Repeat Finding: No Condition: The Authority did not record a transaction in the amount of $2.4 million during the year ended March 31, 2022 to record a loan receivable and revenue associated with a funding transaction. As a result, total assets and revenue were understated in fiscal year 2022, and the beginning net position as of April 1, 2022 needed to be restated in the fiscal year 2023 financial statements to record the transaction. Criteria: Entities must maintain an adequate system of internal controls over financial reporting to initiate, authorize, record, process and report financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Cause: There was inadequate interdepartmental communication within the Authority. Information regarding this transaction was not properly communicated throughout all necessary departments of the Authority. Effect: Total assets and revenue were understated in fiscal year 2022, and the beginning net position as of April 1, 2022 needed to be restated in the fiscal year 2023 financial statements to record the transaction. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend that this issue of lack of communication be investigated and that a solution be implemented as soon as possible. We recommend a regularly scheduled meeting of all department directors to discuss and review the recent and upcoming events in their respective areas to allow for a better flow of information between each department. Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding. See Schedule of Corrective Action Plan.

Effect: Total assets and revenue were understated in fiscal year 2022, and the beginning net position as of April 1, 2022 needed to be restated in the fiscal year 2023 financial statements to record the transaction. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend that this issue of lack of communication be investigated and that a solution be implemented as soon as possible. We recommend a regularly scheduled meeting of all department directors to discuss and review the recent and upcoming events in their respective areas to allow for a better flow of information between each department. Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding. See Schedule of Corrective Action Plan.
