a. Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation: Management agrees with both the finding and the recommendations. b. Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding The management overseeing the process has been completely replaced to ensure a fresh perspective and unwavering dedication to implementing robust internal controls. To address the shortcomings identified in Finding 2022-002, the Authority commits to a targeted action plan aimed at ensuring timely compliance with reporting requirements. Central to our approach is the engagement of a fee accountant, recognized for expertise in HUD reporting and public housing financial management. This specialist will be tasked with overseeing and streamlining our reporting processes. By leveraging this expertise, we aim to quickly rectify past reporting lapses and ensure future submissions are timely and compliant with HUD requirements. The new fee accountant will conduct a comprehensive review of our current reporting mechanisms, identify bottlenecks, and implement best practices tailored to our operations. This decisive action, centered around the expertise of the newly appointed fee accountant, demonstrates our commitment to enhancing our financial management practices and aligning with HUD's reporting expectations. Through these measures, we anticipate not only meeting HUD's deadlines but also setting a new standard for operational excellence within our Authority.

The CAs perform audits on a random sample of tenant files. The purpose of this review is to make sure the participants’ are eligible under the Housing Choice voucher Program. The Authority has experienced significant turnover of staff in the HCV department this past year. The Authority has filled these positions and has implemented programs to train the HCV staff. Also, there will be on the job training (OJT) by the CAs. CAs review the results of audits with management and discuss errors with the staff responsible for the tenant files. Checklists are utilized to ensure staff follow all processes and procedures for eligibility and other documentation requirements. Staff who fail to correctly process eligibility certifications, annual recertifications and move ins to new units are subject to progressive discipline. Supervisors will conduct random reviews on the files processed by staff each month. The Authority has corrected the issue noted in the two tenant files.

Recommendation: The management agent should compute an estimate of surplus cash (residual receipts) for the fiscal year upon completion of that period. In the event that surplus cash exists at the completion of the fiscal period, the management agent must further ensure that all required deposits are made to the residual receipts account within the required time frame and that the balance in that account meets the minimum required balance in accordance with the regulatory agreement between the Entity and HUD. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The management agent agrees with the finding and the auditor’s recommendations have been adopted. Surplus cash will be calculated upon the completion of an annual fiscal period. If it is concluded that surplus cash exists at the end of the annual fiscal period, and further determined that the surplus cash was received within that fiscal period, that amount of surplus cash will be deposited into the Residual Receipts Account within ninety days of the close of that fiscal period.
