Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2023-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 and 14.879 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Enforcement Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions for the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions for the Mainstream Vouchers Program. Criteria: HQS Enforcement. For units under HAP contract that fail to meet HQS, the PHA must require the owner to correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours after the inspections and all other deficiencies within 30 days or within a specified PHA-approved extension. 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 were approximately one hundred and thirty-eight (138) Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers' units and seven (7) Mainstream Vouchers' units with failed inspections. Of a sample size of fourteen (14) Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers' and one (1) Mainstream Vouchers' failed inspections, two (2) and one (1) failed inspections, respectively, did not pass reinspection within 30 days. Housing assistance payments were not abated nor was the tenant relocated. Known Questioned Costs: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers $814 Mainstream Vouchers $1,608 Cause: There is a significant deficiency for the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program and a material weakness for the Mainstream Vouchers Program 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 Program is in non-compliance and the Mainstream Vouchers Program is in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement. 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 accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The Authority will increase oversight in the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs to ensure that established internal control policies related to HQS inspections are being followed on a timely basis. Ann Malfavon, Executive Director, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2024.

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 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Reasonable Rent Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions. Criteria: Reasonable Rent. The PHA must do the following: The PHA must determine that the rent to owner is reasonable at the time of initial leasing. Also, the PHA must determine reasonable rent during the term of the contract (a) before any increase in the rent to owner, and (b) at the HAP contract anniversary if there is a 5 percent decrease in the published Fair Market Rent in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. The PHA must maintain records to document the basis for the determination that rent to owner is a reasonable rent (initially and during the term of the HAP contract) (24 CFR sections 982.4, 982.54(d)(15), 982.158(f)(7), and 982.507). Condition: There were approximately one hundred and sixty-three (163) newly leased units. Of a sample size of sixteen (16) newly leased units, three (3) unit's documentation of reasonable rent did not include the minimum required number of comparable units of three (3), as stated in the Authority's Section 8 Administrative Policy. Known Questioned Costs: $21,531 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. 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 accepts the recommendation of the auditor.

Finding 2023-002 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Selections from the Waiting List Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness 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: Of a sample size of fifteen (15) Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers' new move-ins, one (1) could not be traced to the Authority's waiting list. Known Questioned Costs: $4,336 Cause: There is a material weakness 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 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in material 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.

FINDING 2023-005 Finding Subject: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Reporting Summary of Finding: Finding 2023-005 found that the County did not have an effective system of internal controls in place to ensure accurate and complete reporting of Project and Expenditure (P&E) reports for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). The County was unable to provide supporting documentation for current period and cumulative obligations, resulting in reporting errors.

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Chad Shireman Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-738-8241; cshireman@harrisoncounty.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The County Auditor's office acknowledges the need for strengthened internal controls and improved processes to ensure compliance with reporting requirements for federal awards. A system of internal controls will be designed and implemented to ensure segregation of duties in the preparation, review, and submission of federal reports. This will involve designating different personnel for the preparation and review of P&E reports to ensure accuracy and thorough oversight before submission. Staff involved in federal reporting will receive training on SLFRF compliance and reporting requirements, including proper procedures for documenting obligations and reporting them accurately. The County will review its procedures to ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements periodically. This will help identify any potential issues in a timely manner and allow for immediate corrective action if needed.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The following actions are currently taking place to ensure abatement procedures are met when required due to failed inspections: • Hired a new Inspection company. • The HCHC will ensure that its third-party HQS inspectors provide data on all fails that require abatement as part of the weekly report. • The assigned HCV Specialist will notify the landlord and tenant of the failed inspection and the specific deficiencies that must be corrected. • The assigned HCV Specialist will notify the tenant and landlord of potential termination for not complying with inspection requirements as a result of two consecutive no shows. • The assigned HCV Specialist will ensure that the third-party inspection company re-inspects in a timely manner to verify that the repairs have been completed and meet HQS standards. • If the landlord fails to make the repairs by the established deadline, the HCHC will initiate abatement procedures by withholding or reducing housing assistance payments (HAP) once the unit passes inspection. • The assigned HCVP Specialist will provide the tenant with information and assistance to find alternative housing, such as issuing a new voucher, extending the search time, or offering relocation expenses. • The HCHC will terminate the HAP contract with the landlord if the unit remains abated for more than 60 days or if the landlord fails to comply. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Crystal Gorham, Director of Rental Assistance Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The new inspection protocols were put into place as of July 1, 2024.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: HCHC employs a third-party inspection company. Many of the issues caused by the previous inspection company did not surface until early in 2023. HCHC then attempted to work with the inspection company, however, ultimately that company was not able to comply with inspection requirements and HCHC ended the contract as of June 30, 2024. A contract with a new third-party inspection firm became effective on July 1, 2024. To ensure the HQS inspections are done on time, HCHC now also: • Meets weekly with the third-party contractor. • Receives and reviews weekly reports of inspection status and results. • Ensures that the third-party inspector utilizes real-time data tools to communicate with the HCHC Yardi Software. Yardi has a mobile inspection app that the third-party inspector will begin using. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Crystal Gorham, Director of Rental Assistance Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The new inspection protocols were put into place as of July 1, 2024.

Finding 2023-001: Material Weakness over Subrecipient Monitoring and Required Filings The Uniform Guidance requires organizations to establish internal controls to detect potential noncompliance. Management had existing controls related to subrecipient monitoring. However, these controls were not sufficiently detailed relative to the collection of audited financial statements and eligibility to receive funding.

Finding #2023-002- Material Adjustments Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed adjusting journal entries during the audit process. We deem these entries to be material in relation to the financial statements. Since the Village did not make these adjustments in its accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in the Village’s internal controls. Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the Village before the audit are considered an internal control weakness. Cause: The Village does not have policies and procedures in place to ensure that all transactions are properly recorded on the general ledger prior to the audit. Effect: This means that the proper recording and reporting of financial information may not occur within a timely manner. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded in a timely manner. Response: The Village will work to establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor.
