Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule presents the expenditures incurred (and related awards received) by the Authority that are reimbursable under federal programs of federal agencies providing financial assistance awards. For the purpose of this schedule, only the portion of the program expenditures reimbursable with such federal funds is reported in the accompanying schedule. Program expenditures in excess of the maximum federal reimbursement authorized or the portion of the program expenditures that were funded with local or other nonfederal funds are excluded from the accompanying schedule. This schedule also only includes the amounts expended by the Authority, none of the amount expended, if any, by the blended or discretely present component units have been included.
The expenditures included in the accompanying schedule were reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the related liability is incurred. Expenditures reported included any property or equipment acquisitions incurred under the federal program. Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of the basic financial statements.
The Authority has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed in the Uniform Guidance, section 414.

Finding Details

Per the ACC, funds are not fungible between programs except as approved by HUD (PHAs may use Operating Funds as outlined by sections 9(e), 9(g) and 9(l) of the 1937 Act, as amended (42 USC 1437d(j), 42 USC 1437g, and 42 USC 3535(d)), This precludes PHAs from using Operating Funds to provide temporary loans to other programs within the PHA through inter-fund inter-program transactions (Due To/Due From) or to external affiliates such as to Discretely Presented Component Units (DCUs) through affiliate receivable/payable transactions. It also precludes PHAs from using Operating Funds to temporarily cover or support non-Public Housing program activities through central payor type arrangements. During our audit we noted that the Authority's LIPH program (Program) provided non-fungible funds to other non-LIPH programs to cover short-term cash shortages for various projects. Authority are using LIPH funds to cover a tax credit deal until the deal closes and can pay back LIPH. Client has the cash in nonfederal funds to pay for these expenses from the sale of land but chose not to use those funds to cover the costs. The Authority did not use the proceeds from the sale of land to cover the development costs. As a result, the Program was owed $391,229 as of fiscal year-end. Additionally, the net effect of noncompliance was $391,229 used for unallowable being used on unallowable costs and activities.
