Finding No. 2023-001 Eligibility – Tenant Files Program: U.S. Department of HUD: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and Other Matter to be Reported Under the Uniform Guidance This is a repeat finding of 2022-001...
Finding No. 2023-001 Eligibility – Tenant Files Program: U.S. Department of HUD: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and Other Matter to be Reported Under the Uniform Guidance This is a repeat finding of 2022-001 from June 30, 2022 (initially reported June 30, 2021) Statement of Condition Out of a total tenant population of approximately 194 vouchers, 20 files were selected for testing. Exceptions were noted as follows: • 1 file where a math error on zero-income calculation resulted in an increase in HAP rent from $709 to $712. • 1 file where a math error on zero-income calculation resulted in a decrease in HAP rent from $961 to $912. • 1 file where social security income was calculated using 2022 amounts despite move-in date in February 2023. As a result, HAP rent decreased from $561 to $546. • 1 file where social security income was calculated using 2022 amounts despite annual re-exam in February 2023. As a result, HAP rent decreased from $709 to $687. In addition to the above, during our new admissions testing (5 tested out of 44 new admissions) we noted the following: • 1 file that did not contain a signed lease agreement. Recommendation The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken We concur with this finding and have implemented various controls. A tenant file and unit quality control procedure has been developed and implemented.

The findings from the June 30, 2023 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Findings – Federal Award Program Audit Finding 2023-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 and 14.879 Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program - No Mainstream Vouchers Program - Yes Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility for the Mainstream Vouchers Program Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Criteria: Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: There are approximately 5,295 units. Of a sample size of seventy-one (71) tenant files, the following was noted: • HUD 9886 Form was missing in 1 file • Annual HUD 50058 recertification form and related verification of income and assets was missing in 1 file Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: • Mainstream Vouchers $19,830 • Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program $1,875 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program. There is a material weakness in compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files in the Mainstream Vouchers Program. The Authority has not properly maintained tenant files in compliance with program requirements following the expiration of HUD waivers. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Mainstream Vouchers Program is in material non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. Following the expiration of the COVID-19 HUD regulatory waivers, the Authority experienced a large backlog of reexaminations along with higher than usual rates of staff turnover and other staff capacity challenges related to the pandemic. Authority management developed and implemented a plan to rapidly work through the backlog, and has made significant progress to bring the program into compliance. The audit resulted in one missing consent form (HUD 9886), and one re-examination (HUD 50058), which is noted as missing. While the consent form had expired and a new consent form was required during the audit period, the income information collected for the household was collected while the consent form was still valid. With regards to the re-examination noted as missing, this re-examination was performed late, having been completed just six days after the end of the audit period. The re-examination was initiated on time, and the delay in completing the re-examination was caused by the program participant’s delay in providing the required documents. Additionally, the Authority has been selected for participation in the Moving to Work program ('MTW'). Alternative re-examination schedules, including biennial re-examinations, are an approved MTW activity allowable through the MTW Operations Notice. The Authority has received HUD approval of a waiver that allows the use of an alternate re-examination schedule effective July 1, 2023. This re-examination schedule is in effect currently and will be in effect for the entire duration of the subsequent audit period. Based on the transition to biennial and triennial re-examinations, the Authority has already come into compliance with timely recertifications. Further, the Authority management is in the process of implementing enhanced Quality Control procedures, with staff to conduct ongoing internal audits over the course of the year. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has any questions regarding this plan, please call Aaron Pomeroy, Finance Director at 831-454-5908.

Finding 2023-001: Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly, Capital Advance and Project Rental Assistance Contract, ALN 14.157 Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2024 Recommendation: It was recommended Sessions Village 202 obtain the missing signed documents if the tenant still resides at the project. In addition, it was recommended Sessions Village 202 review all tenant files to ensure all other records are complete.

Action Taken: The first tenant listed above no longer resides at the project and a signed HUD model lease cannot be obtained. On November 7, 2023, the Property Manager at Sessions Village 202 obtained the missing signed documents for the second tenant listed above. The Property Manager at Sessions Village 202 will review the process and procedures in place, and implement controls to ensure the appropriate forms are completed correctly and kept in the tenant files going forward.

We recognized that alterations in students' academic plans, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, led to delays in fulfilling mandatory graduation requirements such as study abroad requirements, resulting in delays in posting study abroad grades to the Soka transcript. Consequently, during end-of-term degree audits by the Office of the Registrar, students with pending study abroad grades or incomplete grades in their final term were inadvertently not updated to a withdrawn status, thereby failing to trigger updates to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequently National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). In collaboration with the Office of the Registrar, robust internal controls have been implemented to mitigate this issue going forward. Following the conclusion of each term, the Registrar will generate a comprehensive report listing all students who have applied for degree completion. This report will be annotated to identify students who have fulfilled all degree requirements, enabling their degrees to be conferred promptly. Additionally, students with incomplete grades will be flagged, and their status will be promptly changed to withdrawn. In both scenarios, enrollment status updates will be transmitted to the clearinghouse and subsequently NSLDS. The Registrar will inform the Office of Financial Aid of graduates and students with updated statuses for NSLDS reporting, and Financial Aid will request an ad hoc enrollment request on NSLDS. To ensure accuracy, a manual spot-checking process will be conducted in NSLDS on 20% of the updated student records in NSLDS. Upon notification of completed incomplete grades, the Registrar will promptly update transcripts, review degree requirements, and confer degrees where applicable. Following this update, the Registrar will manually update the clearinghouse and ask the Office of Financial Aid to request an Ad hoc enrollment report on NSLDS, ensuring timely and accurate reporting. This manual request will be verified on NSLDS after the ad hoc report has been run. Students failing to meet degree requirements due to failed coursework and are enrolled to return in subsequent terms will not be updated to withdrawn status unless they fail to return as scheduled. These measures aim to enhance the integrity and accuracy of our enrollment reporting process, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and minimizing the risk of future deficiencies.

FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: Child Nutrition Cluster - Eligibility Summary of Findings: An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the School Corporation to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Eligibility compliance requirement. The free and reduced-price applications were completed online by the applicants, and the information was automatically uploaded into the School Corporation's nutrition program software system. The software system then calculated the student's eligibility for free and reduced-price meals based on the parameters in the system. There was no documented oversight, review, or approval process to ensure the parameters in the system were correct and that the eligibility determination made complied with the requirements of the programs. The lack of internal controls was a systematic issue throughout the audit period. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Julie Dudley Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812.537.7205 jdudley@lburg.k12.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Food Service Director and Business Manager have added the verification of every 30th Free/Reduce application that is submitted during the school year to their monthly checklists.
