Finding 2024-002: Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Condition: During the audit, Wipfli LLP noted there were certain federal grants received from pass-through entities that were inadvertently excluded from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Management’s Response PINC management acknowledges that some funds were inadvertently excluded from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards due to a combination of a recent CFO leadership transition and an outdated accounting system. However, these issues were not a result of fraud or misuse of funds, and the discrepancies were quickly addressed without any negative impact on the financial statements or audit timeline. The company is actively working to implement a new accounting system with an improved grants module to prevent similar issues in the future. These proactive steps reflect our commitment to compliance, financial accuracy, and continuous improvement in reporting processes. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Joshua Pevarnik, VP & CFO Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing and by 6/30/2025

A. Comments on Finding and Recommendations Comments: It is important to note that at no time did L. Hayes & Associates, Inc. (LHA), Managing Agent, use project funds for unrelated costs. This finding No. 2024-001 refers specifically to fraudulent check charges that were posted to the Hughes operating account in March 2024 by an unknown person. There was a total of three (3) checks written by the same person. This person is unknown to us and did not have access to our check stock nor our office. Therefore, it appears that the perpetrator used some type of machine to reproduce copies of our checks and the signature of Ms. Voundy-Thomas, Operations Manager. Recommendations: Based on the recommendation of our auditor, our office contacted the Maryland Banking Commission to report and pursue reimbursement of the fraudulent charges deducted from the Hughes Neighborhood Housing operating bank account and they referred us to contact the Office of the Comptroller of Currency. Our auditor also suggested that we discuss potential solutions with our HUD Account Executive. B. Actions Taken or Planned Actions Taken: Upon reconciliation of the Project’s March 2024 bank accounts and the discovery of the fraudulent charges, Ms. Voundy, Thomas immediately contacted Wells Fargo’s Fraud Claims Department to report our findings, request reimbursement of the charges, and to place an alert of the account. In addition, Ms. Voundy-Thomas and Mr. Merrick, Hughes, BOD President, visited a Wells Fargo branch to discuss this matter directly with an Account Representative. Unfortunately, the bank denied our request for reimbursement of the fraudulent charges stating that our claim was not processed within 30-days of the posted charges. Actions Planned: Per the guidance from the Maryland Banking Commission, our office has contacted the Office of the Comptroller of Currency to further pursue reimbursement of the fraudulent charges. Also, upon completion and submission of the above-mentioned audit, we plan to pursue any further actions recommended by our HUD Account Executive regarding this finding. Status of Corrective Action on Prior Findings No prior findings were noted.

S3800-010: Finding Reference Number 2024-003 S3800-030: Statement of Condition: Management did not make all of the required deposits to the replacement reserve at June 30, 2024. The mortgage company billed $2,398 per month with the monthly mortgage statement which was the required deposit that went into effect on December 1, 2019. That deposit was increased by HUD each year thereafter effective each December 1; however, management believes that they were not notified of the increases in deposit requirements, and maintain that they did not receive copies of the revised HUD 9250 forms establishing the effective dates and amounts of deposit requirements changes for the years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The total amount of the replacement reserve deposit shortage was calculated to be $13,302. S3800-080: Auditor Recommendation: Management should review policies and procedures to ensure all required deposits to the reserve account are properly billed and deposited into the escrow account with the lender. Management should also deposit the shortage of $13,302 in the replacement reserve escrow account held by the lender. S3800-045: Actions Taken or to be Taken: Management will follow up with the lender about the new deposit requirement and deposit the funding shortage of $13,302 in the replacement reserve escrow account held by the lender. They will also request all missing copies of the HUD 9250 forms for the effective dates of December 1, 2020 through December 1, 2022.

S3800-010: Finding Reference Number 2024-002 S3800-030: Statement of Condition: Our audit procedures revealed that the security deposit cash account was underfunded for nine (9) out of the twelve (12) months tested. Specifically, the required balance for security deposits was not fully met in these months, resulting in a deficiency in the account. Although the funding deficit amounts were not always significant, it is important that the security deposit cash account be fully funded at all times. S3800-080: Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that property management implement a more robust process for monitoring and reconciling the security deposit cash account on a monthly basis. This process should ensure that the account balance is consistently maintained at the required level. Furthermore, management should conduct periodic reviews of the security deposit balances to identify and address any discrepancies promptly. Training for staff involved in managing security deposits should be considered to ensure compliance with HUD regulations and internal policies. FINDINGS – MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT (Continued) S3800-010: Finding Reference Number 2024-002 (Continued) S3800-045: Actions Taken or to be Taken: It is management’s policy to fully fund the security deposit account so the balance in cash meets or exceeds the total liability of deposits collected from tenants. Management discussed the importance of reviewing funding monthly with the Project Accountant, and new procedures have been implemented to include a monthly process to compare the security deposit liability to the bank account and fund any shortages to ensure the security deposit bank account is consistently maintained at the required level.
S3800-010: Finding Reference Number 2024-001 S3800-030: Statement of Condition: Management designed Control Activities to ensure compliance with the Eligibility requirement with respect to tenant eligibility. Those Control Activities include verification and review of tenant files by an indep...
S3800-010: Finding Reference Number 2024-001 S3800-030: Statement of Condition: Management designed Control Activities to ensure compliance with the Eligibility requirement with respect to tenant eligibility. Those Control Activities include verification and review of tenant files by an independent contractor prior to finalization of new tenant move-in. However, during our testing, we noted five (5) move-in files out of five (5) move-in files tested where tenants were approved for move-in prior to review and approval by the independent contractor, circumventing the control. S3800-080: Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the client immediately implement corrective actions to ensure compliance with internal control procedures. Specifically: 1. The compliance specialist should be required to wait for proper approval of tenant eligibility files before processing them. 2. Review and reinforce the approval process through additional training for staff to ensure they understand the critical importance of obtaining necessary approvals before proceeding. 3. Implement stronger oversight and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that files are not processed before approval. S3800-045: Actions Taken or to be Taken: Management has reviewed the policies and procedures with the property manager, who also serves as the compliance specialist. The property manager was instructed that no tenants are to be granted occupancy until the file has been approved by the independent contractor conducting the compliance review.
