WIA management will implement the following corrective action plan: In order to ensure compliance with the timeliness of disbursements of federal funds contemplated under 2 CFR 200.305(b), WIA will implement the following additional procedures for federally-funded expenses. A detailed evaluation of project deliverables and timelines will be conducted by the Project Manager and Project Director for any program subject to compliance with Federal guidelines. The timelines, deliverables and affected funding mechanism(s) will be aligned to determine if there may be a delay beyond a reasonable period which would impact the submission and processing of payments to subcontractors. If it is determined that a delay is possible or likely, consideration will be given to contract amendments which better support the processing of payments aligned with 2 CFR 200.305(b). Further, the Finance team member assigned to the associated program will provide regular guidance to the project team which may include a detailed briefing on the CFR and any relevant concerns with cash management. Disbursements of federal funds will be issued in a timely manner in all instances. The additional set of procedures described above will be implemented in September 2024. In addition, we are currently working through finalizing the contract for Phase 2 of the specific contract related to this finding. We anticipate these negotiations will be completed by October 31st, 2024. Once the Phase 2 agreement has been reached, we will immediately release the Phase 1 funds to the vendor and obtain guidance from The Ohio State University as to the proper disposition of any interest that has been earned by WIA from the withheld Phase 1 payment. Marta Sokol, Chief Financial Officer is the individual responsible for oversight of this corrective action plan. Mrs. Sokol can be reached at 703.535.7447 or Marta.Sokol@wia.org.

Action Taken: MHA will review and enhance as necessary the program’s existing quality control (QC) file review procedures as well as daily data validation reports to include a measure that cross-checks existing reports in the Yardi system of record and aids in validating data routinely submitted to HUD’s PIC system. To further mitigate the risk posed by frequent turnover among Housing Specialist-I (HS-I) staff, MHA will increase the frequency of training on rent and income determination for all staff including tenured team members and new hires, alike, to occur quarterly. In 2023, MHA implemented a Housing Specialist-II Team Lead to oversee HS-I staff processing annual reexaminations in accordance with 24 CFR 982.516. This team member is responsible for ensuring families are notified in a timely manner and if they do not comply with the annual reexamination requirement, they receive termination notices in compliance with HUD and MHA Administrative Plan requirements. MHA also implemented two compliance analysts in 2023; we will add another compliance analyst staff person in 2024 to increase the percentage of files undergoing quality control review. These three (3) Compliance Analyst will report to the Operations and Compliance Manager who monitors HUD’s PIC system and analyzes discrepancies between PIC data and MHA data housed in the Yardi system of record. This information is maintained in the program file. Name of Responsible Person: Paul and Magdalene Watkins, Program Administration Team Projected Completion Date: 12/31/2024

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions Management agrees with the finding and will implement the auditor's recommendations. The recommendation, if properly implemented, should prevent this condition from arising again. Although the Housing Director processed the Final Accounting Statement in a timely manner and requested that the security deposit be returned to the tenant, the Accounts Payable Department missed the request. As staff have been covering two, sometimes three positions, adequate attention was not given to this item. This year, we have brought additional help to support the Fiscal Department. This support staff has allowed the key members of the fiscal team to work with a manageable workload and at a pace that will ensure that security deposits will be returned within 30 days of a tenant’s departure.

Finding #2023-001- Segregation of Duties Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or can both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Condition: A properly designed system of internal control includes adequate staffing, policies, and procedures to properly segregate duties. All internal control duties can be classified into four broad categories: authorization, custody, recordkeeping, and reconciliation. No one person should have control of two or more of these four categories for any one cycle. There are key controls related to significant transaction cycles that are important in reducing the risk of errors or irregularities. Currently, there are the following overlapping duties: - Both Accounting Specialists have the authority to enter invoices into the system, print checks, and have access to the electronic signatures. Preferably, the check cutting process would separate the entering of payment information into the system and the ability to print signed checks. - One Accounting Specialist creates deposits and makes deposits with the bank. Although not the standard procedure, the Accounting Specialist has the authority to collect cash receipts. Ideally, separate individuals would collect cash and make deposits. - The Housing Authority Executive Director opens the mail, creates deposits and takes deposits to the bank. The Executive Director also enters invoices into the system and prints checks. The Board of Commissioners approves disbursements and all checks require dual signatures. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities because of the lack of segregation of duties. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Recommendation: We recommend that the City consider the benefits of implementing additional policies and procedures to address key controls related to its significant transaction cycles as noted. Response: We agree with this finding but do not believe it is cost effective to increase personnel to bring about a more effective segregation of duties.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE Housing Authority of Asotin County January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 This schedule presents the corrective action the Housing Authority is planning to take for findings included in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2023-001 Finding caption: The Housing Authority had inadequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with Housing Quality Standards enforcement requirements of its Housing Voucher Cluster program. Name, address, and telephone of Housing Authority contact person: KayLee Rosgen, Manager, Business and Finance 1212 Fair St., Clarkston, WA 99403 (509) 758-5751 ext. 4 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The Housing Authority does concur with the State Auditor’s Office finding that the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) requirements are to follow up with the landlord if any life-threatening deficiencies are identified during an inspection. The requirement states that “If a deficiency is life-threatening, the owner (landlord) must correct the deficiency within 24 hours of notification” (24 CFR 982.404(a)(3)). The Housing Authority’s corrective action plan moving forward includes the following: • Reviewing HQS/NSPIRE standards with current staff assigned to performing and processing Section 8 inspections during a monthly meeting • Implement internal controls that ensure all life-threatening deficiencies are identified and all required notifications are made • Review all parts of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and PIH notices distributed by HUD monthly that pertain to HQS/NSPIRE inspection standards • All pertinent staff will take the next NSPIRE Inspection Standards training (all inspectors and Section 8 Occupancy Specialist) • Updating our process to include the use of a new inspection checklist that separately identifies life-threatening deficiencies, as well as using a new form to document attempts to contact the landlord and the date the deficiency is resolved The Housing Authority acknowledges that we lacked the appropriate internal controls to identify and notify the landlords of any life-threatening deficiencies that must be corrected within 24 hours. With this corrective action plan in place as of September 9, 2024, the Housing Authority feels that we are on track to comply with the requirements set forth by HUD and any relevant CFRs. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: September 9, 2024 (immediately and on-going)

Allowability — Landlord Overpayments Housing Voucher Cluster Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls Other Matter to Reported Under the Uniform Control Condition: The Authority made numerous overpayments in HAP to landlords starting in the month of October2023. A variance in HAP disbursements was noted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and upon further investigation by management it was determined that the overpayment to landlords was not caught by staff when the original disbursements were made. Auditor Recommendations: The Authority should work on recapturing overpaid funds from landlords that have current tenant agreements. The Authority should also monitor internal controls in place with the new software to make sure the accounting software is functioning properly. Action Taken: Upon discovering the overpayments to the landlords, HCV department promptly issued letters informing them of the excess Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) received. The letter instructed the landlords to either repay the overpaid amounts or have them recouped from future HAP payments. To date $142,824, has been successfully collected. Cherly LaRock is responsible for overseeing the collection process, and a monthly report on the status of these overpayments is submitted to the Board. Additionally, the data transferred from HAB to Yardi was thoroughly reviewed and any issues that were identified during review were promptly corrected. Finally, a Yardi consultant was engaged to assist in the evaluating the PCI-IA HAP process within Yardi. With the consultant's assistance, new procedures and controls have been established to streamline HAP payments and prevent future overpayments to landlords.
