Out, Inc. and Subsidiaries was not in compliance with the Special Tests and Provisions compliance requirement for the year ended December 31, 2022. Questioned Costs None. Context Most tenants and disabled and use a third-party fiscal payor agent as their fiduciary to pay bills. As such all deposits from the fiscal payor agents are received as ACH payments into Movin?

When a new tenant paid rent and the $432 security deposit, the transaction was consolidated into one ACH payment and deposited to the operating checking account. This resulted in the security deposit account being underfunded by $432. The error was not found until the annual review of the security deposit account was conducted in February 2023. Repeat Finding N/A. Recommendation Security deposits should be closely monitored to ensure compliance.
