Finding Details

Replacement Reserve: The Organization is required to make monthly deposits of $542.34 into a replacement reserves fund. We noted that these deposits were not being made during the year. A signed copy of the suspension authorization form for deposits to the replacement reserve could not be produced to indicate HUD’s approval. Criteria: Rules governing HUD projects with a capital advance loan required that monthly deposits be made into a replacement reserve account to aid in funding extraordinary maintenance and repair and replacement of capital items. Cause: Due to a change in management companies, the current management agent could not locate the suspension authorization form nor was a new copy obtained. Effect: Not having prior authorization from HUD for the suspension of the required deposits could jeopardize the Organization’s good standing with HUD and cause the project to be non-compliant with the Special Tests and Provisions requirement. Recommendation: The Board of Directors has a responsibility to ensure proper recordkeeping by requesting to review original documents issued by governing agencies. Response: We will ensure that proper documentation from HUD indicating that the Organization is authorized to suspend their monthly deposits into the replacement reserve fund is maintained. Conclusion: Response accepted.
