U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development 2023-001 Eligibility - Housing Choice Voucher Program – Assistance Listing No. 14.871 Recommendation: The City should review its system of internal control related to the policies and procedures in place to mitigate the risk of noncompliance with Enterprise income Verification (EIV) eligibility requirements. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: PHA staff understand that income verification is essential to ensuring that only eligible participants are provided housing assistance benefits. In late 2023 they implemented a new file review procedure where the Community Development Senior Planner reviews all files processed by operational housing staff as a matter of quality control. In addition, the protocol for PHA quality control includes following the Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) indicator iv. Accurate verification of family income by ensuring EIV Reports validate family income 120 days of submission of a new admission or reexamination and maintain copies of the report in the tenant file resolving any discrepancies of the family within 60 days of the EIV Report. The one instance of non-compliance found during the 2023 audit occurred prior to the implementation of this new procedure so staff believe that appropriate steps have been taken to address this concern. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Steve Schaer Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The City believes the necessary corrective actions have been taken as of August 2024.

Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement additional procedures during year-end close out procedures to ensure residual receipt deposits at year-end are deposited in a timely manner. Action Taken: To enhance the controls around residual receipt deposits during year-end close-out procedures, the Organization will implement a systematic action plan to ensure that residual receipt deposits are processed in a timely manner. The organization will implement a monitoring system that tracks the status of residual receipts and flags any deposits that are approaching or have passed their deadlines. Regular progress reviews will be scheduled to ensure that all residual receipts are processed promptly and any issues are addressed swiftly. Finally, a post-year-end audit will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the new procedures, identify any areas for improvement, and refine the process for the following year. This action plan will ensure that residual receipt deposits are managed efficiently and contribute to the overall accuracy of the year-end financial statements.

FINDING: 2023-002 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - Reporting Summary of Finding: The P&E report was prepared by one employee without an oversight or review process in place to ensure accuracy. The report submitted was not mathematically accurate or complete. Per Resolution 2022-1028, approved on December 12, 2022, the City obligated funds for six separate projects totaling $2,257,927. However, the P&E report submitted on April 18, 2023 only included one project resulting in an understatement of total obligations of $1,807,927. Additionally for the one project submitted the key line items of “Current Period Expenditures”, “Total Cumulative Expenditures”, and “Current Period Obligations” as reported on the P&E report did not agree to the City’s financial ledger Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Lynn M. Gorski, Clerk-Treasurer Contact Phone Number: 574-936-2124 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding from SBOA. Description of Corrective Action Plan: There was very little training on how to enter information into the Treasury website for the 2022 year. When it was entered there was only one obligation in the amount of $68,609 even though Resolution No. 2022-1028 noted the intent on spend. Because of lack of training on entering the information it was understated. When the information was entered for the April 2024 report all obligations were entered. When the next report is processed, I will have another staff member verify what is entered prior to submission to the Treasury Department. Anticipated Completion Date: April 30, 2025 Lynn M. Gorski Title: Clerk-Treasurer Date: August 26, 2024

Views of Responsible Officials: Management understands the need to ensure all accounts are reconciled in advance of the audit. The adjustment to tie out opening net assets has been addressed and corrected, and going forward will be recorded and confirmed prior to audit except for adjustments for K-1s received after the audit starts. For year-end investments balances, some K-1s are received during fieldwork. Since it is not feasible to prepare estimates of the K-1 amounts, the entries for the investment balance changes and corresponding adjustments for intercompany adjustments, management will prepare the entries as soon as K-1s are received and send to auditors. Since this is due to timing, not internal process, management respectfully requests that this process will not reflect negatively against the organization. For audit adjustments impacting the numbers on the Schedule of Federal Expenditures, the issues have been addressed and systems have been developed to ensure timely and accurate information. Management, including the Vice President of Finance and Business Development, and the Organization's contracted financials service providers have recorded these entries as of 7/9/2024.
