Finding Details

Finding 2024-002
2024-002 ALN# 14.181 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities, June 30, 2024 Eligibility - Missing Documentation Criteria: Internal controls are required to be in place to ensure proper procedures are being followed and the Project is in compliance with HUD requirements regarding timely, complete, and accurate tenant files. Condition: During the eligibility testing of the audit, the following deficiencies were identified – certain tenant files are not kept on file within the required compliance timeframe. We consider this finding to be a material weakness with the Eligibility Compliance Requirement. This finding was repeated from June 30, 2023 and is reported in Section IV-Prior Audit Findings. Effect: The Project is not in compliance with HUD requirements regarding eligibility which could result in the incorrect amount of rental assistant provided. Cause: The Project experienced operational challenge and staffing transition to outsourced accountants during the period of audit. Recommendation: The Project should consider reevaluating their established procedures and controls currently in place to ensure full compliance in regard to eligibility and the timeliness of proper tenant files. The Project needs to correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the findings and a response is included in the Corrective Action Plan.
Finding 2024-003
2024-003 ALN# 14.181 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities, June 30, 2024 - Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: The Project is required to collect tenant security deposits and make monthly deposits into the established reserve fund to aid in funding extraordinary maintenance and repair and replacement of capital items. Condition: The project did not collect tenant deposits and make the required monthly deposit of $3,075 into the reserve account during the year. We consider this finding to be an instance of noncompliance with regard to the Special Tests and Provisions compliance requirement. Effect: By not collecting tenant deposits and making monthly deposits it would be possible for the Project to not have funding for capital improvements Questioned Costs: $36,900 Cause: The Project experienced cash shortages in the operating account leading to funds not being available to deposit into the reserve fund. Recommendation: The Project should consider reevaluating their established procedures and controls currently in place to ensure full compliance regarding special tests and provisions. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the findings and a response is included in the Corrective Action Plan.
