A. Comments on Findings and Recommendations: Finding 2022-001 Exit Counseling Condition: The Institution did not timely perform the required FDL exit counseling for 10 of 20 students in the sample requiring exit counseling. PMC agrees with the condition outlined in Finding 2022-001 Exit Counseling. B. Prior Audit Findings There were no findings in the prior audit. C. Corrective Action Taken on Findings Finding 2022-001 Exit Counseling Current processes for exit counseling are to ensure graduating students receive exit counseling during the final quarter of enrollment as well as receive an e-mail with directions on how to complete exit counseling at www.studentloans.gov from the financial aid department. Students that are enrolled in less-than-halftime credits are also provided exit counseling when the quarter starts or known when the student drops down to that enrollment status through reduction of courses. When students withdraw they will be notified that they are to confirm whether or not a student has received direct loans or not; if yes, they are to perform their exit counseling duties. There has been a lack of quality assurance that has led to exit counseling being completed after 30 days for a variety of reasons. To correct this issue, PMC Registrar will run an enrollment status change report on a bi-weekly basis to catch any student that has changed to an out-of-school status and/or a less-than-half-time status to ensure the financial aid department completes their exit counseling phone call or in-person meeting, as well as their exit counseling e-mail with information regarding completing exit counseling via www.studentloans.gov. Within seven (7) days of the report being run, each student file will be checked to ensure exit counseling was completed and notes are placed within the file to verify exit counseling was completed within the 30 day period of the enrollment status change as required.

Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Romeo, Wiggins & Company, LLP, 8210 Creedmoor Road, Suite 202, Raleigh, NC 27613 Audit Period: Year Ended December 31, 2022 The findings from the December 31, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2022-001: Case File Documentation/CFDA 09.634032 Recommendation: We recommend that management re-emphasize the importance of maintaining adequate documentation of retainer determination for all LSC eligible cases. Periodic reviews of case files should be performed to ensure compliance. Action Taken: The largest number of errors were discovered in one office, which office has a relatively new managing attorney. Legal Aid of North Carolina, Inc.?s Compliance Officer will provide compliance training targeted to this manager and her staff, emphasize compliance in new hire onboarding training, and train managers and supervisors promoted to new leadership roles. Additionally, all advocacy staff (attorneys and paralegals) will have mandatory annual refresher training on when and how to execute retainers. The training will also include a review of LSC Regulation 1611.9, Retainer Agreements. To strengthen the compliance process and assure requirements are met, Legal Aid of North Carolina, Inc. will perform semi-annual internal self-inspections to include retainer monitoring. We also plan to perform retainer monitoring of field offices that this audit and future self-inspections identify as missing required case documentation, including retainer agreements. Finally, our case management system will be evaluated for opportunities to more systematic alert case closing approvers or report on potential missing required documents.

Statement of Condition: As of December 31, 2022 management has not fully funded the tenant security deposits cash account. The tenant security deposits cash account was underfunded by $1,142. Corrective Action: The difference of $1,142 primarily relates to what is showing as delinquent security deposits. Upon further review, Fiscal discovered that $402 of one tenant?s and $269 of another tenant?s security deposits were duplicated. The community manager will do a ledger adjustment for these instances. A third tenant?s deposit was never collected in 2019 and $323 of this deposit is to be reversed. Only $353 is truly outstanding. Fiscal asked the Maples I community manager to attempt to collect $303 SD ($353 less $50 paid) in 2023. Going forward, security deposits receivable will be reviewed monthly. Fiscal will work with property management department to notify them if a security deposit is outstanding after a tenant has moved in.

Finding Summary: During the year ended December 31, 2022, fourteen units had wiring exposure and lacked safety precautions that were identified during the inspection period. The units are required to be properly maintained and all safety hazards should be addressed immediately. This resulted in a score on the REAC inspection of 54c. Status: The property hired a licensed electrician to perform 100% inspection of the breaker panels for the property and to make the new changes to the breaker panels per REAC's inspection protocol. We requested a new inspection by REAC to re-assess the property again. We will continue to provide training to our staff on an annual basis as REAC provides new protocols for the maintenance standards on the properties.

2022-001 - Eligibility: Public Housing Tenant Files Material Weakness in Internal Control, Material Noncompliance Condition: Out of a total tenant population of 120, 12 files were selected for testing. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 6 files where the annual re-examination was not performed within 12 months. ? 2 files where the annual income for the tenant was not calculated correctly, resulting in the monthly rent for the tenant being $204 too low in one case and $23 too low in the other. Recommendation: The above-mentioned change will only result in non-timely annual re-examinations for some tenants for one time, and will effectively correct itself in future years. Nonetheless, the Authority should review all annual re-examinations for all tenants and immediately perform annual re-examinations for any remaining tenants that have not already had their next re-examination Action Taken: The Authority concurs with this finding and has begun a review of all files to identify any remaining tenants that have not had a timely annual re-examination and to immediately conduct any needed re-examinations.

Identifying Number: 2022-001 Finding: The Organization received approval from HUD to begin the construction of a dining room and physical therapy addition to the mortgaged property. This approval was contingent on the Organization meeting certain conditions set forth by HUD. One such condition was that the total cost of the project be funded by a contribution from Community Living Options, Inc. (CLO), and that this contribution would not be paid back to CLO. The Organization has recorded a payable owed to CLO and therefore did not meet the terms of the HUD approval. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: Ron Wilson is responsible to ensure corrective actions are taken. The Organization is in the process of appealing HUD conditions and approval. Management has had multiple communications since March 2014 with their lender to resolve this finding, however it still remains unresolved. Management most recently corresponded with their lender in October 2021 to resolve the finding and is currently waiting on HUD?s review for completion. Approval based on the proposed payment terms by the Organization has not yet been received.
