Notes to SEFA

The above schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal grant activity of the Authority under of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2024 The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administratie requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Fedarl Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portions of operations of the Authority, it is not intended ot and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the Authority.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The Authority did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis cost rate as permitted in UG, 200.414.
In accordance with HUD regulations, HUD considers the Annual Budget Authority for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, ALN No. 14.871, to be considered an expenditure for the purposes of this schedule. Therefore, the amount in this schedule is the total amount received directly from HUD and not the total expenditures paid by the Authority.

Finding Details

Finding 2024-002
ALN Number: 14.871 Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Type of Finding – Single Audit Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Criteria: HUD requires that public housing authorities accurately report program activity in the Voucher Management System (VMS) and reconcile these submissions to the general ledger (GL) on a monthly basis. The Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200.303) requires non-federal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards, including accurate financial reporting and reconciliation processes. Condition The Schertz Housing Authority did not properly track and reconcile its monthly VMS submissions to the general ledger. As a result, there were material discrepancies between the VMS-reported data and the HCV program’s financial statements, specifically related to income and restricted equity. Cause and Effect: The Authority did not follow their formal procedures to ensure that VMS submissions were reconciled to the general ledger each month. Material discrepancies existed in the HCV program’s financial statements, affecting reported income and restricted equity. Additionally, these discrepancies contributed to the Authority experiencing a funding shortfall in the HCV program by year-end, increasing the risk of questioned costs and noncompliance with HUD requirements. Recommendation: We recommend that the Schertz Housing Authority should work with their fee accountant to ensure that the financial records agree to the VMS submissions to the general ledger. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: We are working with our HUD field office to correct our VMS reporting. Responsible Official: Cristi LaJeunesse, Executive Director
