FINDING NO. 2025-001: INEFFECTIVE OPERATION OF INTERNAL CONTROLS BY MANAGEMENT Management did not conduct recertifications of the Project’s tenants during the fiscal year under audit. CRITERIA: According to HUD Handbook 4350.3, owners must conduct a recertification of family income and composition at least annually by the tenant’s recertification anniversary date. Owners then must recompute the tenants’ rents and assistance payments, if applicable, based on the information gathered. If a new recertification is not submitted within 15 months of the previous year’s recertification anniversary date, HUD will terminate assistance payments. CAUSE OF CONDITION: Management did not have systems in place to ensure tenant files and recertification documentation were completed in accordance with HUD requirements. RECOMMENDATION: Auditor recommends management review HUD Handbook 4350.3 and put proper internal controls in place to ensure tenant files are in compliance with HUD and kept in accordance with HUD requirements.
