Recommendation: We recommend management to assign a person that verifies all the documents are in place before processing the determination of eligibility. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The existing protocol involves a checklist that staff complete before submitting the file for intake review and prior to the electronic transfer of the file to the site. To address the identified issues, we are reinforcing this process, including retraining staff and emphasizing the importance of meticulous scanning and uploading of documents. For errors that occurred during occupancy, we will reiterate and enhance the interim and annual recertification processes. Staff will undergo retraining, and we will intensify the quality control measures for file management to prevent such discrepancies. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Troy Lynch (Intake) and Diana Pop (Occupancy) and Christen H. Gore (Occupancy). Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The enhanced staff training, along with the additional processes, will be implemented before August 31, 2023.

Recommendation: We recommend management should designate one person to review a sample of the files that have been recertified each month. The purpose of the review is to determine if the tenant files were prepared in accordance with internal policies and verify the compliance deficiencies have been corrected. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: We have introduced a revised approach for the allocation of recertifications to individual caseworkers instead of the caseload as a whole. This change ensures that recertifications, initially assigned to caseworkers with temporarily vacant caseloads, will be promptly reassigned to other available staff members. Moreover, we have established a robust monitoring process for supervisors to oversee the workload and track the progress of their respective teams. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Melanie Olsen Planned completion date for corrective action plan: These measures have been effectively implemented since July 1, 2023.

Management’s Response: Concordia College ceased academic operations in August 2021 and is in the process of winding down its operations and completing its remaining compliance requirements. Subsequent to the announcement of the closure of the College and following the ceasing of academic operations, virtually all employees left their employ with the College. The significant turnover in personnel, transition to outside consultants, and preparing proper teach out and transition plans for remaining students was a much larger focus than compliance requirements, which led to additional time lapsing between the prior year when findings were discovered to the current report being sent out. Additionally, due to the shutdown of Banner and the time taken to complete the audit, it is difficult for the College to obtain historical student and financial information pertaining to the period under audit.

Finding 2021-003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Material Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility 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 3,383 units. Of a sample size of forty (40) tenant files, the following was noted: Original application was missing in 3 files, Lead based paint form was missing in 5 files, signed lease was missing in 5 files, Rent reasonableness was missing in 10 files , Annual inspection report was missing in 15 files. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $294,952. Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice 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 internal control procedures 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. The affected files relate to clients that have been on the program for decades and as files get large, archiving takes place. To correct this finding, a directive will be issued to staff that will ensure that when files are archived the original application must be placed in the current working file going forward. Zulieka Boykin, Executive Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2022.
