Negative amounts shown on the schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.

Finding Details

Lack of Documentation to Prove Eligibility DEPARMENT OF TREASURY ALN #: 21.023 Federal Award Identification #: Emergency Rental Assistance Program Condition: One individual out of 40 was awarded emergency rental assistance without proof of a COVID-19 related reduction in income. Criteria: Title III, Subtitle B, Section 3201 of the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021, Pub. L. No. 117-2 (March 11, 2021) Questioned Costs: $3,380 Context: The Organization obtained proof that a tax return was filed and made a note that the full tax return was going to be provided. There was a staffing transition after this individual had provided proof of a tax return being filed. Based on the information available in the file, it is possible that the proof of reduction in income was misplaced during transition and therefore not available during the audit process. Without the actual tax return, the records do not support a reduction in income to prove eligibility. Cause: There were a number of staffing transitions during the year. Effect: Award of emergency rental assistance to an individual that was potentially not eligible. Identification as repeat finding, if applicable: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization retain all required documentation in each file. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.
