Finding 2024-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879 & 14.EHV Noncompliance – N.

Finding 2024-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879 & 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Selections from the Waiting List Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Selections from the Waiting List. The PHA must have written policies in its HCVP administrative plan for selecting applicants from the waiting list and PHA documentation must show that the PHA follows these policies when selecting applicants from the waiting list. Except for as provided in 24 CFR section 982.203(Special admission (non-waiting list)), all families admitted to the program must be selected from the waiting list. “Selection” from the waiting list generally occurs when the PHA notifies a family whose name reaches the top of the waiting list to come in to verify eligibility for admission (24CFR sections 5.410, 982.54(d), and 982.201 through 982.207). Condition: Based upon inspection of the waiting list provided to us during the time of audit, the new move-in list and discussions with management, it could not be determined with any certainty that new move-ins were selected from the wait list in an order that is in accordance with the Authority’s policy. Context: Twenty-five (25) names were selected from the new move-in list and those names were to be traced to the waiting list to verify new move-ins were chosen in an order that was in accordance with the Authority’s policy. It was determined that one (1) out of twenty-five (25) new move-ins selected could not be traced with any certainty back to the Authority's waiting list. Known Questioned Costs: $9,231 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to selections from the waiting list. 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 Housing Voucher Cluster programs are in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to selections from the waiting list. 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 significant deficiency in the Housing Voucher Cluster programs and will implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Nicole Alexander, HCV Program Director, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2025.

Finding 2024-001: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879, & 14.EHV 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 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. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were failed inspections that did not pass reinspection within 30 days without penalty. Context: There are approximately 405 units with failed inspections. Of a sample size of twenty-five (25) failed inspections, two (2) failed inspections did not pass reinspection within 30 days. HAP was not abated nor was the tenant evicted. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $330 Cause: There is a 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 performed HQS inspections in compliance with program requirements following the expiration of HUD waivers as a result of insufficient staffing. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster programs are in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan 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, and will design and implement internal controls over compliance in order to ensure all necessary failed HQS inspections with life threatening deficiencies are addressed within 24 hours and all other deficiencies are addressed within 30 days. Nicole Alexander, HCV Program Director, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2025.

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2024 State Agency: Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development Audit Finding Number: 2024-017 – DHEWD FFATA Reporting Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Elizabeth (Liz) Roberts Anticipated completion date for corrective action: January 1, 2025 Corrective action planned is as follows: In response to the auditor’s report finding, we dedicated a team of staff to review our subaward files for the date range in question. Staff compared our subawards from that time to federal reporting system data and reported any subawards that were missing. We will continue to monitor these historical files for their reported status as we encounter them through the course of our current normal business activities. We have strengthened internal controls related to FFATA reporting for the WIOA cluster, and our new federal award reporting and monitoring process is outlined below: On the fifteenth day of every month following the subaward execution month, staff utilize a spreadsheet populated with subaward data the previous month to enter subaward information for that month into the federal reporting system. After the subawards have been reported in the system, the full subaward report data and their submission receipts (proof of submission) are saved to internal electronic files. Each file now features a descriptive file name to which allows for an easily searchable, historical record. • Files are organized by FY and report month • Each month now includes a spreadsheet of the awards reported • Each report is now categorized by grant, and reports with multiple subawards per grant now contain a cover page with table of contents summarizing the subaward report data included on the subsequent pages with any changes indicated in red • Each file now contains Auditor notes where necessary, indicated in red After the reports are submitted, staff now sends the reports and spreadsheet summary for each month to a supervisor to review, who compares them with each executed subaward notification email sent to the executed subaward notification group in the previous month. The supervisor responds with monitoring results (e.g. missing, incorrect, complete). Reports are adjusted as necessary based on this review. The supervisor’s emailed approval response is saved to the file. DHEWD will provide proper FFATA reporting training to staff. The process outlined above will evolve slightly since, as of March 8, 2025, FSRS.gov has transitioned to SAM.gov. SAM.gov features enhancements that support improved reporting accuracy, such as auto-checking for previously reported subawards to avoid duplication.

Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions. Criteria: HQS Inspections. Per the Authority's HCV Admin Plan, the PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family biennially in order to determine if the unit meets HQS standards, 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)). These inspection reports 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 inspection reports that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: Of a sample size of thirty-six (36) units, three (3) units did not have biennial HQS inspections performed timely. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $75,684 Cause: There is a material weakness 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 Housing Choice Vouchers Programs are in material 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 over HQS inspections 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 material weakness in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Emergency Housing Vouchers programs and will implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Kathleen Wyatt, Director of Housing Operations, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by December 31, 2025.

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 2,533 units. Of a sample size of thirty-six (36) tenant files, the following was noted: • Verification of income was unable to be recalculated in 4 files • Verification of assets was unable to be provided in 1 file • HUD 50058 annual recertification was not filed timely in 2 files • Citizen Declaration Section 214 form was unable to be provided in 9 files Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $84,235 Cause: There is a material weakness in the Housing Voucher Cluster 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 Housing Voucher Cluster Programs are 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 over the maintenance of tenant files 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 Authority will increase oversight in the Housing Voucher Cluster to ensure that established internal control policies are being followed on a timely basis. Kathleen Wyatt, Director of Housing Operations, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by December 31, 2025.

Audit Finding Reference: 2024-001 (Reporting) Planned Corrective Action: NUL acknowledges the reporting requirements outlined in Article VI of the FY22 and FY24 CPF Grant Agreements with HUD. We respectfully note, however, that while we are fully aware of these reporting requirements, we were unable to submit the required reports because the Disaster Recovery Grant Reporting (DRGR) system was not available for submissions during the relevant periods. As such, even if we had attempted to file, submission could not have occurred due to the system’s unavailability. We were in contact with the administrators of HUD on a regular basis during the reporting period. Both HUD and NUL were fully aware of the DRGR system short falls. We emphasize that NUL maintains a strong record of timely and accurate federal reporting and does not typically experience issues with missed or late submissions. This instance is an isolated occurrence and is not reflective of our overall compliance practices. Once the DRGR system becomes available, NUL will promptly submit all required FY22 and FY24 reports to ensure compliance. To further strengthen our processes, NUL is committed to implementing a financial reporting calendar to supplement our existing internal controls and ensure continued timely compliance with all reporting obligations. This reporting calendar will be disseminated to all NUL departments that work with and are responsible for federal grant reporting.

Housing Choice Voucher Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 14.871/14.879 Recommendation: We recommend that management should implement a quality control review over a sampling of tenant files recertified each month. The purpose of the review is to determine if the tenant files were prepared in accordance with internal policies and verify the compliance deficiencies have been corrected. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: We would like to provide additional context. The challenge is not due to a lack of monitoring efforts, but rather staffing constraints that have impacted our ability to meet recertification timelines. Specifically, the Agency is currently operating with an insufficient number of staff to manage the full caseload effectively. Additionally, a significant portion of the team responsible for processing recertifications consists of new hires who are still in training and not yet able to carry a full workload, which has temporarily reduced the overall output of the team. In response, we are actively working to streamline internal processes, prioritize core functions, and improve overall operational efficiency. These efforts are intended to increase the number of timely recertifications completed and ensure compliance with HUD requirements moving forward.

Finding #2024-001- Limited Segregation of Duties Criteria: Segregation of duties is an aspect of internal control intended to prevent or decrease opportunities of intentional and unintentional errors and fraud. Duties and responsibilities are properly segregated if no single individual either has control over all phases of a transaction or can both make and conceal an error, whether such error is intentional or unintentional. Condition: A properly designed system of internal control includes adequate staffing, policies, and procedures to properly segregate duties. All internal control duties can be classified into four broad categories: authorization, custody, recordkeeping, and reconciliation. No one person should have control of two or more of these four categories for any one cycle. There are key controls related to significant transaction cycles that are important in reducing the risk of errors or irregularities. Currently, there are the following overlapping duties: - Both Accounting Specialists have the authority to enter invoices into the system, print checks, and have access to the electronic signatures. Preferably, the check cutting process would separate the entering of payment information into the system and the ability to print signed checks. - One Accounting Specialist creates deposits and makes deposits with the bank. Although not the standard procedure, the Accounting Specialist has the authority to collect cash receipts. Ideally, separate individuals would collect cash and make deposits. - The Housing Authority Executive Director opens the mail, creates deposits and takes deposits to the bank. The Executive Director also enters invoices into the system and prints checks. The Board of Commissioners approves disbursements and all checks require dual signatures. Effect: Errors or intentional fraud could occur and not be detected timely by other employees in the normal course of their responsibilities because of the lack of segregation of duties. Cause: Limited number of personnel. Recommendation: We recommend that the City consider the benefits of implementing additional policies and procedures to address key controls related to its significant transaction cycles as noted. Response: We agree with this finding but do not believe it is cost effective to increase personnel to bring about a more effective segregation of duties.
