Finding Details

Finding 2022-001
Finding No. 2022-001 ? Section 811 ? CFDA No. 14.181 Type of Finding ? Federal Award Finding Finding Resolution Status ? In progress Criteria or Specific Condition ? Under the terms of the Capital Advance Program Regulatory Agreement, the Project is required to obtain a written approval of all withdrawals from the residual receipt. Statement of Condition ? During the year ended June 30, 2021, an excess deposit of $1,086 was made to the residual receipt. During the year ended June 30, 2022, the excess deposit of $1,086 made in 2021 was withdrawn, however the withdrawal was not approved by HUD. Cause ? It was an oversight of management to withdraw the additional deposits made in the prior year without HUD approval. Effect or Potential Effect ? The Project is not in compliance with the regulatory agreement with HUD. Auditor Non-Compliance Code ? A ? Unauthorized withdrawal from residual receipt account. Questioned Costs ? $1,086 Reporting View of Responsible Officials ? We concur with the auditor?s recommendation. Recommendation ? We recommend that management obtain a written approval from HUD for all withdrawals from the residual receipt. Auditor?s Summary of the Auditee?s Comments on the Findings and Recommendations ? Agree Response Indicator ? Agree Completion Date ? November 3, 2022 Response ? While we are aware of the need for HUD approval prior to withdrawing funds from the residual receipt account, the accounting team was not aware of the need to seek approval for mis-deposited funds, thinking that this was correcting an error, not compounding it. The accounting team will agree the required deposit to the surplus cash calculation per the Audited Financial Statements and Supplementary Information so that the correct amount is transferred from the operating account to the residual receipt account which will eliminate the possibility of overfunding the account. On the off chance that funds are mistakenly deposited into the residual receipt account in the future, the accounting team is also now aware of the need to get HUD approval to remove the funds from the account.
