Identified root cause Due to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico's (the Commonwealth) filing for Title III under PROMESA, most of its instrumentalities were required to reduce staff as part of the Fiscal Plan to lower expenditures. This staff reduction resulted in a lack of personnel, which impacted key internal controls.

Action Item Title 2023-003 – Federal Award Findings Status (Open: In-process) Condition Matching Non-Federal Funds The Corporation expended $523,590 from FEMA funds but did not meet the required cost-sharing amount of $52,359 from the Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds. On September 9, 2021, the Corporation signed a Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Non-Federal Match Program Agreement with the PRDOH, to comply with FEMA's matching requirement. The Corporation only requested a reimbursement of $4,224. Identified root cause The Corporation’s failure to request the full matching amount was due to inadequate monitoring and oversight of the matching requirement. The Corporation did not ensure that the necessary CDBG funds were allocated to meet the 10% cost-sharing requirement. Grantee resolution plan Matching Non-Federal Funds The Corporation’s CDBG Subrecipient Agreement does not currently support FEMA’s 10% local match requirement due to stricter federal compliance rules under HUD, which exceed FEMA’s. As a result, the Corporation contacted the Central Office for Recovery, Reconstruction, and Resiliency (COR3), its pass-through entity, to request assistance in identifying alternative funding sources to fulfill the 10% matching requirement. We recognize the importance of complying with the matching requirements established by the federal regulations applicable to the program. We clarify that the funds used as "matching" come from eligible sources by the regulations of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and have been properly documented in our financial records. During the audited period, all necessary actions were taken to ensure that the matching funds met the requirements of eligibility, proportionality, and traceability. Nevertheless, we have considered the auditor’s comments and, as a corrective and proactive measure, we are strengthening our controls and documentation procedures to ensure full compliance with future audits. We appreciate the observation noted in the Single Audit report regarding compliance with the matching fund requirements for CDBG funds. We would like to clarify that our entity has complied with the applicable federal provisions regarding the contribution of equivalent funds, as established in 24 CFR Part 570 and the guidelines issued by HUD. Supporting documentation that validates compliance with the required match has been collected. It is available for review, including financial statements, reports of local contributions, and project records demonstrating the investment of non-federal resources applicable to the program. If there is any discrepancy in the interpretation regarding the source or eligibility of the matching funds presented, we are willing to clarify and provide additional evidence to support their use in accordance with the regulations. It should also be noted that the Corporation is periodically audited by the Housing Department, ensuring compliance with all relevant requirements. We remain committed to transparency and the rigorous fulfillment of all federal requirements. We appreciate the recommendations provided to continue strengthening our internal control and documentation processes. Completion date Pending assistance and resolution from COR3.

2023-003 ALLOWABLE ACTIVITIES AND ALLOWABLE COSTS - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks. Condition/Cause For 23 out of 60 cases tested, the amount paid for rent or utilities did not agree to a lease agreement or bills on file for the following reasons: (I) clerical errors, (2) duplicate payments due to multiple staff working on the same file, or (3) failure to request or maintain support before payment was made. Known questioned costs associated with the 23 exceptions noted in our testing were $9,867. Based on the projection of the sampling results to the remaining population, we project additional likely questioned costs of approximately $173,400. The Authority did not have controls in place to detect the noncompliance prior to issuing payments. We recommend the Authority revisit and strengthen internal controls over tracking individual payments for transactions entered as batches, particularly when related to federal awards. We encourage the Authority to continue working to identify the individual transactions making up the remainder of the federal expenditures under this program. We also recommend the Authority revisit and strengthen internal controls over allowable activities and allowable costs related to grant programs. Management Response The Authority launched the Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) with little administrative guidance from the U.S. Treasury. The Authority contracted with the Berks Coalition to End Homelessness (BCEH) to undertake various aspects of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program and in the late fall of 2021, the Authority began reviewing all case documentation provided by BCEH. This review eliminated the vast majority of the errors noted. The Authority also updated case documentation checklists as well as provided training for staff involved with ERAP. Current Status of Corrective Action Plan The Authority has resolved this finding. An additional review was added at the close of each case.

2023-002 PROGRAM INCOME - MATERIAL WEAKNESS Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks and HOME Investment Partnership Program ALN 14.239; passed through the County of Berks. Condition/Cause During our testing of program income received during 2023, it was noted that the Authority did not report all program income received into IDIS. As a result of not entering all program income into IDIS, our testing indicated that new entitlement funds were drawn down prior to utilizing all available program income on hand. The Authority utilizes a separate general ledger account in the financial reporting software to record all program income received for each federal grant program. The Fiscal Officer enters the program income into IDIS. No internal control existed to ensure the completeness or accuracy of the program income information entered into IDIS. Recommendation We recommend the Authority develop and implement an internal control procedure to ensure that all program income is entered timely within the IDIS system. Prior to drawing down new entitlement funding, the program income general ledger account associated with the grant program should be reviewed and compared to the program income reported within IDIS to ensure all program income is recorded and fully utilized before drawing down additional entitlement funding. Management Response The Authority implemented a new policy to track and document program income: a. Upon receipt of program income, it shall be entered individually into IDIS and assigned to an activity or activities within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt. b. At the next request for funds for an activity which includes funding from program income, program income shall be used prior to requesting federal funds for the activity. c. The request for federal funds shall be prepared by the Fiscal Officer and reviewed by one of the Assistant Fiscal Officers to determine if program income is being used prior to the request of federal funds. d. If it has been determined and documented that program income is being used prior to the request for federal funds, the request shall be forwarded to the Executive Director for approval. Current Status of Corrective Action Plan This finding has been resolved by management. The new policy was implemented on April 1, 2025.

2023-001 REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The auditee did not have any documented or implemented internal controls over the review of federal program reporting requirements. Reports were prepared and submitted without documentation of supervisory review or verification of accuracy and completeness. Management did not design or implement procedures to review reports prior to submission, relying solely on the preparer's knowledge without formal oversight. Recommendation We recommend that all grant reports are reviewed by a person independent of the preparer who has knowledge of the grant requirements. This review should include comparing the amounts reported to detailed support for accuracy. We also recommend the Authority review its recordkeeping procedures for documentation related to grant reporting. There should be a process in place to ensure all required documentation is maintained and filed in an orderly system that allows the Authority to locate and provide documentation when required. Management Response In general, management agrees with the finding. It should be noted that internal controls for supervisory review of reporting requirements were in place but were not written controls or processes. Reporting for the CDBG Program is accomplished through the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Repo11 CAPER). Written policies and procedures for the CAPER have been developed. Reporting for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program is accomplished through an online reporting system of the U.S. Treasury and by email to the Pennsylvania Human Services Department. Written policies and procedures have been developed.
