Finding Details

In accordance with 24 CFR section 5.801 – Uniform Reporting Standards, PHAs are required to submit timely GAAP-based unaudited financial information electronically to HUD. The above requirement was not met for the 2023 audit During the audit, the auditor noted the unaudited FDS was filed but filed after the required due date. Due to the Authority's RAD transaction and the related audits to the new entities, the Authority was unable to complete the 2023 unaudited submission timely. The Authority was in violation of the Federal regulations relating to report submissions. We recommend that Management implement procedure to ensure compliance with the above regulations.
