1. Finding 2025-001 - tenant rent payments not deposited timely a. Issue: During the year ended June 30, 2025, Bay Cove Human Services, Inc., an affiliate and sponsor agency for Juliette Corporation, collected rent and other client fees related to its clients who are also tenants in the Projects. For a portion of the year ended June 30, 2025, Bay Cove Human Services, Inc. did not timely remit the tenant rent portion of these payments to the Projects. Delinquent rent payments for the period July 2024 through February 2025 amounted to $104,547 and were deposited in February and March 2025. Additionally, June 2025's rents were outstanding and owed to the Projects as of June 30, 2025 in the amount of$19,785 and were deposited in July 2025. b. Recommendation: Management should establish or undertake a review of internal controls over monitoring of the tenant rent deposits to ensure deposits are timely made into the Project accounts. a. Action taken: The tenant rent transfers are now prepared on a monthly basis, with the Assistant Controller reviewing them. In addition, the accounting team is now performing a monthly reconciliation of the related balance sheet accounts which show the amounts due to/from the entities for the tenant rents in order to identify any problems with the timeliness of the transfers. The Assistant Controller is reviewing these reconciliations on a monthly basis as well.
