CHARLES PARISH, LOUISIANA CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Corrective Action Plan Finding: Finding 2022-001-Internal Controls Inadequate for Disbursements-Allowable Costs Condition: Good internal controls should be in place to make sure that disbursements are for eligible payments, are correctly classified, and are timely paid. Good controls ensure that there is proper, documented review of all these functions.

The findings from the June 30, 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: Public and Indian Housing Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.850 Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness 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 199 units. Of a sample size of twelve (12) tenant files, the following was noted: • Declaration of Section 214 Statuses form was missing in 2 files Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $8,912 Cause: There is a material weakness 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 Public and Indian Housing Program is in material 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. Yolanda Hart, Public Housing Property Manager, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2023. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has any questions regarding this plan, please call Mary Kuna, Executive Director, at 717-249-0789 ext. 118.

Finding 2022-02: Late Submission of Financial Statements to FAC and REAC (Significant Deficiency) Corrective Action Plan: Lack of leadership and structure within the Finance department along with the ripple effects from a previous waiver submission requirement under COVID for delayed audit submissions lead to missed deadlines for the delivery of the financial statements to REAC. To remedy this finding, RRHA’s new CFO has implemented an earlier internal deadline for Unaudited FDS submissions. RRHA’s Unaudited FDS is due November 30th. However, the new internal deadline date will be scheduled before Thanksgiving each year.

Statement of Condition: The US Department of Housing and Urban Development conducted a Management and Occupancy Review (MOR) on November 28, 2022. Their report, dated November 28, 2022, reflected a below average rating related to Leasing and Occupancy and General Management Practices. However, the report did give an above average rating related to physical building inspection. Criteria: The Housing assistance Payments (HAP) Contract requires compliance regarding the physical building and tenant files to be in accordance with the contract requirements. Effect: Failure to comply with the Regulatory Agreement and the HAP contract is a violation of HUD regulations. Cause: The property was in the process of transitioning the management over to a new management agent, making it more difficult to maintain effective policies and procedures related to the tenant files and recertifications. Recommendation: Management must perform the corrective actions as required by the MOR by the target completion date. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The Board and Management agree with the findings and the new management agent has taken action to correct the findings and implement the recommendations. Action Taken: As of the date of these financial statements, these steps had been taken and the property received a notice from HUD stating that they had satisfactorily completed all corrective action and that the MOR was considered closed. Anticipated Completion Date: Completed.
