Finding Details

Federal Program U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AL #14.871 – Significant Deficiency Grant Award No. ND014-Housing Choice Voucher Federal Award Year 2025 Criteria PHAs are required to submit accurate data in monthly VMS submissions as HUD uses this data to determine renewal funding levels. Condition The Authority did not have control procedures in place throughout the year for reconciliations of HAP expenses. This resulted in inaccurate data submitted in monthly VMS submissions. Questioned Costs None Context We reviewed VMS data submissions noting reported balances did not accurately reflect balances recorded in the Commission’s general ledger. Effect HUD did not have accurate data to use in determining renewal funding levels. Cause The Commission was going through a software conversion which delayed various reconciliation processes and staff turnover resulted in control processes not implemented for the entire fiscal year. Repeat Finding See 2024-006. Recommendation We recommend the Commission reviews their internal control procedures over the reconciliation of HAP expenses to ensure accurate reporting. Views of Responsible Officials Management recognizes the deficiency and plans to implement the auditor’s recommendation.
