2023-003 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Housing Voucher Cluster - 14.871 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and 14.879 Mainstream Vouchers – Material Weakness Condition and Criteria: Assistance payments were calculated incorrectly due to errors in data entry. Eligibility for the program requires payment based on substantiated income and expense of the applicants. Cause: Human error in the calculation of income and expense allowances which affected assistance payments. Effect: The cost of the assistance may be disallowed or the Agency could be required to fund amounts that were under awarded. Context: A sample of grants totaling $21,782 was selected for audit from a population of $11,709,832. The test found questioned costs totaling $427. Our sample was a statistically valid sample. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN RESPONSE: The files contained errors from staff not having the back-up, or failing to remove income/expenses from the previous transaction. Our Compliance person was pulled from those duties when manpower shortages occurred throughout our department. We are hiring more staff to ensure this will no longer be an issue. Anticipated completion date: 9/30/24 Responsible party: Dianna Clair, Section 8 Housing Director Please contact Vicky Pritchett, Finance Director at 573-213-4811 extension #10102 with questions regarding this plan.

2023-002 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Housing Voucher Cluster - 14.871 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and 14.879 Mainstream Vouchers Condition and Criteria: The Agency is to perform HQS Quality Control re-inspections. The Agency did not perform quality control re-inspections. Cause: Procedures are in place for performing quality control re-inspections, but due to inspector turnover and health issues, the quality control re-inspections were not performed during the fiscal year. Effect: There is a possibility that sanctions could be imposed if they do not perform quality control re-inspections as required by the program. Context: The Agency is aware of the requirement and contacted HUD to explain the situation during their SEMAP certification. HUD indicated this would not affect their overall High score. CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN RESPONSE: LCPHA has a long tradition of performing the HQS requirements and its importance is well understood. We will recommence Quality Control re-inspections.

Recommendation: To establish proper internal control over security deposit refunds, the Corporation should design and implement the necessary procedures to ensure the move-out notifications are provided to the accounting office in a timely manner and ensure the tenant's security deposit is processed and refunded within 30 days of the move-out date. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: There is no disagreement with the finding. Management will monitor future move-outs to ensure the security deposits are processed and refunded within 30 days of the move-out date.

Recommendation: When this condition exists, management’s and the board’s close supervision and review of accounting information are the best means of preventing or detecting errors and irregularities. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We agree and will continue to monitor monthly financial results and accounting information as correction is not practical. Recommendation: Management should continue to evaluate their internal staff capacity to determine if an internal control policy over the annual financial reporting is beneficial. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: This condition is inherent in operations which, for sound economic reasons, must function with a small number of office personnel. Correction of this condition would require the employment of additional office personnel. We will continue to monitor financial reports and accounting information as correction of this condition is not practical.
Jeff Cottingham, Management agent, and Father Elia, sponsor of the project, will be responsible for monitoring monthly financial results and accounting information as correction is not practical.

Finding 2023-003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions 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: Of a sample size of thirty-one (31) tenant files, the following information was unavailable for examination at the time of audit: Annual inspection reports were missing in one file. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency 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 reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions - housing quality standards type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably 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 Authority will increase oversight in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program to ensure that established internal control policies are being followed on a timely basis. Allison Landrum, Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by September 30, 2024.

Finding 2023-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Programs Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were failed inspections that did not pass reinspection within 30 days without penalty. Context: There are approximately 489 units with failed inspections. Of a sample size of twenty-five (25) failed inspections, two (2) failed inspections did not pass reinspection within 30 days. HAP was not abated nor was the tenant evicted. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. The Authority has not properly performed HQS inspections in compliance with program requirements following the expiration of HUD waivers as a result of insufficient staffing. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. 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. The Authority will increase oversight in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program to ensure that established internal control policies are being followed on a timely basis.

Finding 2023-001: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency 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 1,782 units. Of a sample size of thirty-one (31) tenant files, the following was noted: • HUD 50058 Form was missing in 1 file • Verification of income and assets was missing in 1 file. Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency 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 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. Allison Landrum, Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by September 30, 2024.
