Finding Details

Finding 2022-001 Significant Deficiency: Special Reporting - Compliance and Control Finding ALN 14.871 and 14.879 - Housing Voucher Cluster: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Pass-Through Entity: N/A - Direct Award Criteria Or Specific Requirement: HUD requires Public Housing Authorities (PHA) to submit a Form HUD-50058 each time a family ends participation in the program or movesout of the PHA?s jurisdiction under portability within 60 days of the participants termination or exit of the program. Condition: The Authority did not submit the required form within the designated timeframe, nor did the existing control operate as intended to prevent the error from occurring. Cause: The control in place did not ensure timely submission of the HUD-50058. Effect: The possibility exists that noncompliance with federal requirements could go undetected regarding compliance relating to direct and material compliance requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Context: One of the 40 participants selected for testing did not have the HUD-50058 submitted within the required 60 day timeframe. Identification As A Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend that management evaluate their existing control over the timely submission of the HUD-50058 upon a participant?s exit of the program, and consider implementing additional controls such as a review of a schedule of participants who exited the program monthly, to ensure the all required submissions to HUD take place on time. Views Of Responsible Officials: Management has developed a tracking chart to track submission of the HUD-50058 for participants exiting the program that will be monitored monthly.
