Finding 2023-001- Considered a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance. Federal Program: Mortgage Insurance for the Purchase or Refinancing of Multifamily Housing Projects ALN #: 14.155 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Criteria: Organization management is responsible for ensuring the management fees are paid in accordance with the HUD approved management certification. Condition: The Organization overpaid management fees by $250 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Effect: Management fees were overpaid for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Management Comments: We agree with the facts and circumstances of this finding and will pay back the 250 dollars that is owed back to the organization. Auditor Noncompliance Code: J – Unauthorized management fees
