Finding Details

Finding 2025-001
Knox MHA made a decision as an Agency to automatically extend the voucher time to assist the participant in successfully utilizing their voucher without needing to request an extension. Most or all of the 5 voucher holders were disabled and successful in finding a unit between 61– 120 days prior the voucher expiration. The strategy was applied to all participants receiving a voucher. In addition, it was implemented to lessen staff burden since the Agency was experiencing staffing challenges. Lastly, the market for available units was very limited for the area.
Finding 2025-002
Knox MHA employed a fee accountant to assist in preparing the Hinkle report, assistance with GASB entries, footnotes and REAC submission. It was an oversight of Management and not caught until brought to our attention by the auditor. Had I been aware of this at the time I would have made the correction as I know this is not permitted nor an entry that should be made.
