Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Inspections 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 at least biennially to determine if the unit meets the 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)). 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 fifty-four (54) units, twenty-seven (27) units did not have a biennial HQS inspection performed. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $239,802. 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 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs are in material noncompliance 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 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 Mainstream Vouchers Programs and will implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Jonathan Campbell, Director of Housing Programs, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2024.

Context: The Authority did not properly abate four (4) out of eleven (11) failed inspections selected for testing. As a result, the Authority was not in compliance with the HQS as required by 24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b). Known Questioned Costs: $7,011. Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement.

Finding 2023-003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 and 14.EHV Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility: Emergency Housing Vouchers Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Criteria: Tenant Files. 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 3,328 units. Of a sample size of fifty-four (54) tenant files, the following was noted: • One tenant file was missing entirely • Original application was missing in 6 files • Lead based paint form was missing in 3 files • Signed lease was missing in 3 files Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $88,087 Cause: There is significant deficiency in the Emergency Housing Vouchers Program and a material weakness in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program 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 Emergency Housing Vouchers Program is in non-compliance and the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is 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 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 affected files relate to clients that have been on the program for decades and as files get large, archiving takes place. To correct this finding, a directive will be issued to staff that will ensure that when files are archived the original application must be placed in the current working file going forward. Jonathan Campbell, Director of Housing Programs, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2024.

The school is required to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This is the responsibility of the School’s management. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires internal controls over both maintaining internal books and records and reporting the external financial statements and the related footnotes. The current staffing of the School does not allow the School to have an internal control system in place designed to provide for the preparation of the financials and related footnotes being audited. The School requested that the external auditors draft the financial statements and accompanying notes as a result. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: It is correct that due to the cost and other considerations, the School has requested that their auditors draft the financial statement and related footnotes. Corrective Action: The School has evaluated the cost vs. benefit of establishing internal controls over the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and determined that it is in the best interest of the School to outsource this task to its external auditors, and to carefully review the draft financial statements and notes prior to approving them and accepting responsibility for their content and preparation. The School will continue to evaluate the cost vs. benefit of having someone in management capable of preparation and/or of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Projected Completion Date: Due to funding issues, the school is unable at this time to correct this finding.
We agree and will continue to monitor monthly financial results and accounting information as correction is not practical.
