2- Finding No. 2022-002; Unauthorized loans from project assets Statement of Condition During the year ended September 30, 2022, the project paid expenses in the amount of $32,736 on behalf of an affiliate from project cash without HUD approval. The amount due to the project as of September 30, 2022 is $32,736. Criteria Loans are not permitted to be made from project cash without prior authorization from HUD. Cause Procedures were not in place to ensure that cash disbursements of project funds were limited to approved project operating costs. Effect or Potential Effect The payments of $32,736 were unauthorized loans and therefore considered to be questioned costs. Questioned Costs $32,736. Recommendation Management should immediately reimburse the amount due to the project and establish procedures to ensure payments of this nature are not made in the future. Auditor Noncompliance Code B – Allowable Cost/Costs Principles Reporting Views of Responsible Officials The Corporation agrees with the finding and the auditor's recommendations have been adopted. Upon finalizing the audits and submitting to HUD, management intends to request funds from the replacement reserve to enable them to pay down the due from affiliates.

The Houston Housing Authority agrees with this finding and related recommendations. During this audit, as these issues arose, notes were taken, evaluation of what had happened was made so that we could make the necessary adjustments to our procedures to prevent the continuation of these issues. In addition, we hired a firm to come in and undertake a review of the finance department. The purpose of this review was to review our existing staffing levels, workloads, experience, etc., for purposes of proposing a reorganization of the finance department to address any deficiencies. We have reviewed the recommendations from this consultant and are in the process of implementing many of the recommended changes. We are in the process of bringing in additional staff to expand the capacity of the Finance department. As we had fallen behind on our audits we anticipated the weaknesses noted in prior audits would continue to be present in future audits. We have been working very diligently to address the issues within the finance department that gave rise to this finding. We fully expect this finding or a similar finding to be present for the 2023 audit as many of the departmental improvements and changes were only recently made and would not have been in place for the majority of 2023.
