Finding No. 2023-001 – Segregation of Duties Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance. Assistance Listing #: 14.327 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program Name: Section 8 - Lower Income Housing Assistance Program Condition: The Center engages CliftonLarsonAllen to assist in preparing its financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Criteria: A strong system of internal controls requires the Center to prepare its own financial statements and accompanying disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Cause: The Center engages CliftonLarsonAllen to assist in this process. However, the Center has reviewed and approved the annual financial statements and the related disclosures. Effect: This increases the risk of material omissions or other errors in financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Repeat Finding: Yes, prior year finding 2022-002. Recommendation: Management should continue to evaluate their internal staff capacity to determine if an internal control policy over the annual financial reporting is beneficial. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: This condition is inherent in operations which, for sound economic reasons, must function with a small number of office personnel. Correction of this condition would require the employment of additional office personnel. We will continue to monitor financial reports and accounting information as correction of this condition is not practical. Questioned Costs: None
