Recommendation: The Department of Housing should promptly submit required financial information to the Department of Housing and Urban Development in accordance with Title 24 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 5.801. Corrective Action Plan as Reported by the Department of Housing: We agree with the finding. The Department of Housing (DOH) submitted its 2019 audit in August 2025 and is currently awaiting the Auditor’s approval. With the new stablished Section-8 Division, the additional support has made a great impact, and it has helped expedite this work. However, the process is time consuming because we cannot submit audits for subsequent years until the prior year’s audit is approved. Once the 2019 audit is approved, we will begin work on the 2020 audit and continue sequentially until we are fully up to date. Our goal is to be fully caught up by December 31, 2027.

Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) – Assistance Listing No. 14.181 Recommendation: We recommend that management establish and implement a formal internal control to ensure that someone who did not prepare the HAP Voucher reviews them for accuracy before submission. The preparation and review should be documented with a signature and date to ensure there is a proper audit trail. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: We will strengthen our internal controls by implementing a formal, documented review process to ensure that all monthly HAP Vouchers receive an independent review prior to submission to HUD. Beginning with the next reporting cycle, our HUD Consultant will be responsible for preparing the monthly HAP Voucher and assembling all supporting documentation. Once prepared, the voucher package will be forwarded to the Contract Accountant for an independent review. The Contract Accountant will verify the accuracy and completeness of the voucher, including agreement to tenant ledgers, mathematical accuracy, proper application of subsidy rules, and consistency with prior month activity. This review will be documented through a dated signature on the voucher cover sheet, establishing a clear audit trail and ensuring appropriate segregation of duties between preparation and review. This control will be incorporated into the monthly close process and performed consistently going forward to ensure accurate, compliant, and fully supported HAP Voucher submissions.

Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) – Assistance Listing No. 14.181 Recommendation: We recommend that management establish and implement formal written policies and procedures to ensure surplus cash is either used to pay down debts subject to surplus cash or deposited in the residual receipts reserve in a timely manner in accordance with HUD requirements and the project’s Regulatory Agreement. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: We have strengthened our internal controls by implementing a documented audit trail and a formal monthly reconciliation process for all intercompany activity between Home Share and Accord. Each month, the Contract Accountant prepares and submits to the Vice President of Finance a summary of the year to date activity along with the full outstanding intercompany balance, including prior year amounts. The Vice President of Finance reviews this reconciliation against the Home Share account balances to determine the amount that can be transferred to reduce the intercompany liability in accordance with HUD surplus cash requirements. Once the transfer is approved and completed, the Contract Accountant receives confirmation along with a copy of the ACH transaction to document the transaction. This process is performed and documented as part of each month end close to ensure timely, accurate, and compliant surplus cash transfers.

Reporting of Prior Year Program Income Auditor Description of Criteria, Condition, and Effect: In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.307, program income must be used in accordance with the terms and conditions of the federal award and must be accounted for and reported accurately. Recipients are required to reconcile program income received and expended during the grant period to ensure it is used for allowable purposes and properly reflected in financial reports. Failure to reconcile and report program income may result in noncompliance with federal grant regulations and could impact the allowability of costs charged to the award. The County recognized a substantial amount of program income during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, for program income that was received in prior periods but incorrectly reported as unearned over many years. It is unclear what portion of this prior year unearned revenue was reported to the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") through the Integrated Disbursement and Information System ("IDIS") now that the revenue has been properly recognized in the general ledger. The County has a risk of inaccurately reporting program income to HUD. The County is also exposed to an increased risk noncompliance could occur and not be prevented or detected by the County's internal controls. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend the County review its prior year records to determine which portion of the currently recognized revenue has already been reported to HUD. Additionally, the County's Neighborhood and Housing Development ("NHD") department should coordinate with HUD to establish the appropriate approach for reporting and expending this program income going forward. Corrective Action: An in-depth review of all program income activity dating back to 1995 is currently underway within both the general ledger and the IDIS system. The purpose of this review is to determine the total amount of program income received and reported to HUD. Upon completion of the review, the County will collaborate with HUD to determine the appropriate use and expenditure of the identified funds in accordance with applicable program requirements. Responsible Persons: Khadija Walker-Fobbs Neighborhood and Housing Development Officer, Curtis Smith, Chief, Neighborhood and Housing Development and Brian J. Lefler, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: September 2026

Finding #2025-004 – Reporting – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal programs: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Assistance Listing #93.959, Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse, Recovery Support Services, Contract Number: HHS000130500013, Contract Year: 09/01/24-08/31/25; Prevention and Behavioral Health Promotion Youth Prevention Services, Contract Number: HHS001344700032, Contract Year: 09/01/24-08/31/25. Condition and context: During our testing of the Federal Financial Reports, we noted that the final financial status reports were submitted late and the reports did not have evidence of review and approval. Additionally, a recoupment of $33,541 was required by the funder upon review of the closeout report for contract number HHS000130500013. Recommendation: Re-emphasize policies and procedures to meet the grant reporting requirements and ensure that all reports are independently reviewed prior to submission. Planned corrective action: Management will maintain a grant reporting deliverables calendar covering all federal and state reporting requirements, with internal due dates set in advance of funder deadlines and assigned to a specific grant manager. No Federal Financial Report or closeout report will be submitted without documented independent review and approval by the Controller, with preparer, reviewer, and approver sign-off retained in the grant file alongside the supporting reconciliation to the CYMA general ledger. Responsible officer: Michael McIntyre, Chief Administrative Officer. Estimated completion date: August 31, 2026.
