2022-004 - Eligibility ? Tenant Files Public and Indian Housing Program ? CFDA Number 14.850 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control, Other Matters Required to be Reported Repeat of 9/30/21 Finding 2021-003 (originally reported at 9/30/19 as Finding 2019-009) Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 141 tenants, 15 files were selected for testing in a statistically valid sample. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $4 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s flat rent was overstated by $2 due to a miscalculation. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to increase by $6. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s income was miscalculated. Correcting this error caused the tenant?s rent to decrease by $63 ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s General Assistance was coded as wages on the 50058 form. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority has hired an outside CPA firm to conduct quarterly reviews of files and to assist in training staff on HUD compliance requirements. The noted deficiencies in the tested files are being corrected. Although this is a repeat finding, the Authority has made great strides in the current fiscal year reducing the error rate by 72% from the prior year. The Authority will continue to improve file reviews and training procedures to ensure the files meet the required guidelines. Effective Date: June 26, 2023 Contact Information Chanosha N.E.

2022-002 FINDING: Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Question Cost: None noted Not considered a material weakness Response: Crazy Horse School Business Office staff will follow auditors? recommendation. The Business Manager will determine the financial statements, schedule of expenditures of federal awards and related footnotes are free of material misstatement and the audit package is filed timely. The most effective controls lie in the management and the Board of Education?s knowledge of the School?s financial operations. Supervision and review functions will be done continually during all phases of the accounting cycle. Cross training with the Business Office staff will continue to be done. The Business Manager will continue to assist with disclosure information and approve any adjusting entries to the trial balance. She reviews and approves all draft and final copies of the financial statements including disclosures. In light of the guidance of SAS 115, the Business Manager will continue additional and continuing training for herself as well as the designated staff. The goal is still to provide training in government financial reporting and current reporting standards to enable management to continue to take the responsibility for the statements and disclosures. The school will continue their implantation of their new financial policies and take steps to ensure they are being followed. All expenditures will continue to be reviewed to ensure they are properly documented, coded, and the expenditures are allowable for the grant. Review of paychecks will continue to include recalculation of hours on timesheets and leave accrual calculation. With the continue Covid closures, weather closures, and my sickness (cancer) this past year has made is very difficult at times to get things done in a timely matter. We will continue to improve and hope to have a better year. This school?s financial stability is better than it has been for years with a clean opinion and no question costs. We will continue to improve, with our outstanding business office staff, and we will continue to make sure we are on top of the internal controls daily. We are not perfect and there is always room to get better and better! ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: June 30, 2024 PERSON(S) RESPONSIBLE: Leslie Cuny, Business Manager

Management?s view: Management is in agreement that the tenant eligibility age according to the regulatory agreement is 62. Through miscommunication, the property staff incorrectly believed that non-subsidized units were not subject to the minimum age of 62, but that the minimum age of 55 was allowable in keeping with current trends and fair housing standards. Proposed corrective action: Management has adopted the proper age restriction in accordance with HUD requirements at a minimum of 62. Communication has been made to property staff regarding the proper/correct age restriction. Management is also adopting the auditor?s recommendation of requesting a waiver from HUD in order to maintain the economic soundness of the property. Anticipated correction date: 7/15/2022.

Corrective Action Plan For the year ended March 31, 2022 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development: The Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended March 31, 2022. Auditor: Novogradac and Company, LLP Certified Public Accountants 1144 Hooper Avenue Suite 203 Toms River, New Jersey 08753 The findings from the March 31, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Findings ? Federal Award Program Audit Finding 2022-001 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 ? 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 Findings ? Federal Award Program Audit (continued) Finding 2022-001 (continued) 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. On May 4, 2021, HUD issued Notice PIH 2021-14(HA). In this notice, HUD recognized the unprecedented challenge the COVID-19 pandemic poses to PHAs in carrying out the most essential of their HCV program administrative responsibilities. The notice allowed for the Authority to rely on the owner's certification that the owner has no reasonable basis to have knowledge that life-threatening conditions exist in the unit or units in questions. At minimum, the PHA must require the owner?s certification. However, the PHA may add other requirements or conditions in addition to the owner?s certification, but is not required to do so. The PHA is required to conduct an HQS inspection on the unit as soon as reasonably possible but no later than June 30, 2022. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority?s files and on discussion with management there were units that did not have annual inspections or owner?s certifications performed during the audit period. Context: Of a sample size of sixty-five (65) tenant files, the following information was unavailable for examination at the time of audit: ? Annual inspection report or owner?s certification was missing in two (2) files Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $41,038 Cause: There is 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 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 with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. 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 has recognized the deficiencies in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program and has implemented internal control procedures in 2022 that will ensure compliance of federal regulations. Those controls consist of the weekly monitoring of two reports generated by the agency business software which identify subsidized units missed by the inspection scheduler. Ingrid Layne, the Director of Assisted Housing will be responsible to implement this corrective action by March 31, 2023. Schedule of Prior Year Federal Audit Findings There were no findings or questioned costs in the prior year. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has any questions regarding this plan, please call Ingrid Layne, the Director of Assisted Housing at (925) 957-7010.
