Finding 2024-001 Condition On April 1, 2024, the balance of the residual receipts account balance exceeded the $31,250 allowable based upon the Notice ($250 x 125 Units = $31,250) by $23,884. At that time, the Company was required to submit HUD-9250 forms requesting residual receipts account distributions to offset rent subsidy payments each month until the residual receipts balance did not exceed $31,250. The Company did not request the required HAP offsets until September 3, 2024. At December 31, 2024, residual receipts exceeded $31,250 by $23,913, of which $23,875 related to the bank failing to disburse HUD approved HAP offsets that reduced rent subsidies for November prior to year end. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: As noted in Finding 2024-001, there was staff turnover of key employees in the Finance department in 2024, which, in part, caused the late submission of form 9250 requests for required HAP offsets from the residual receipts account. The current accountant responsible for reconciling Lutherwood balance sheet accounts has been provided education related to Notice H-2012-14. Both the Vice President of Finance and the Director of Housing will ensure that the first request for offset s submitted by the end of April, and review at the end of each following month until the residual receipts balance does not exceed the allowable amount. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Lisa Webster, Vice President of Finance and Sandra Rostkowski, Director of Housing Anticipated Completion Date: We anticipate the corrective action to submit the 9250 in 2025 will occur by the end of April 2025.

2024 –1 Segregation of Duties Name of contact person: Kim Wells, Finance Officer Corrective Action: The duties are separated as much as possible with limited staff and alternative controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are not misstated. At this time, it would be cost prohibitive to add personnel just for segregation of duties. The Town recognizes that reasonable assurance takes into consideration that the cost of internal control should not exceed the benefits. The manager or designated alternate is control for most of the finance functions such as review of accounts payable and bank statements. The Mayor or Commissioner manually signs checks, so there is a second review before the checks are mailed. The Clerk mails the payable checks. The clerk prepares the deposits and deposits with bank and the Finance Officer records. Purchase card transactions for public works is entered by senior administrative assistant. The Board receives check register, cash balances and revenue and expenditure review on a monthly basis. The Town continues to review possible segregation of duties, if personnel expertise allows. Proposed Completion Date: The Town has implemented the segregation of duties as much as possible without hiring additional personnel that is cost prohibitive at the moment. We have implemented review procedures with management that we believe would prevent any material misstatements of the financial statements. Since the manager is the designated control for finance functions, there is an alternate designated by the Manager.

Management Response and Corrective Action Plan 1. Automatic payments for recurrent utility services are covered by blanket approval to ensure timely remittances. Individual utility invoices are not individually approved but are reviewed by agency location by the Operations department during their monthly finance meeting. Management has elected this method as most efficient for the volume and timeliness required. Documentation of the review during the meetings will be kept as evidence of review of these expenses. 2. Management allocates payroll for exempt salaried employees on an hourly basis to fund sources based on the 80-hour period for which they are compensated. Any hours worked in excess of 80 hours by these employees are not compensated nor charged to fund sources. Exempt salaried employees have been directed to report only compensated time on timesheets. 3. We concur with this finding. Changes in pay rates for staff who perform multiple roles will be redefined to include all possibly affected program fund sources that staff may impact.

Recommendation: This control deficiency is not unusual in a small company. However, it is the responsibility of management and the board of directors to decide whether to accept the degree of risk associated with this condition based on the cost of correction and other considerations. Management’s Response and Actions Planned: The Company’s management is aware of this significant deficiency. Management reviews and approves the draft annual audited financial statements and distributes them to the users. For entities of this size, it generally is not practical to obtain the internal expertise needed to handle all aspects of the external financial reporting. Management recognizes this and feels it is effectively handling its reporting responsibilities with the procedures described above.
Recommendation: While we recognize the Company’s office staff is not large enough to permit an adequate segregation of duties in all respects for an effective internal control structure, it is important that the Company be aware of this condition and look for opportunities to improve segregation of ...
Recommendation: While we recognize the Company’s office staff is not large enough to permit an adequate segregation of duties in all respects for an effective internal control structure, it is important that the Company be aware of this condition and look for opportunities to improve segregation of duties or add mitigating controls to prevent material misstatement of the financial statements. Management’s Response and Actions Planned: The Company’s management is aware of this condition and believes that it is not economically feasible to attain the ideal segregation of duties. Management attempts to mitigate the associated risks by doing the following: 1. Identifies areas where the lack of segregation of duties exists and where there are higher risks of errors or fraud occurring. 2. Implements limited segregation to the extent possible to reduce risks without impairing efficiency. 3. Uses the knowledge that management and the Board of Directors have of operations by having them review certain accounting records and reports. Monitors the effectiveness of the above actions and makes changes as considered appropriate.
