HQS Enforcement Description of Findging: Reinspection, follow up and/or abatement documentation was missing for 5 out of 25 initial failed inspections. Statement of Concurrence or NonConcurrence: Procedures were not in place to properly document the corrections of deficiencies and abate the housing assistance payments when necessary. EFFECT The Authority may have made housing assistance payments to landlords for units that failed to meet housing quality standards. Corrective Action: Interviews are underway to hire an internal inspector which will allow for better follow through and communication as opposed to a contracted inspector. The HCV Director will monitor inspections completed for proper disposition and also run reports on units due in the upcoming month to make sure they are executed and updated in Pha Web. Procedures be strengthened to ensure that documentation is maintained for all inspections and enforcements. Maribel Aguliar

SECTION III – FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS 2023-002 Material Weakness Reporting Criteria and Condition: While the Organization has some written financial management procedures documentation, it does not meet all the recent specific requirements under 2 CFR 200.302 in the Uniform Grant Guidance. Context: The financial management requirements under 2 CFR 200.302 require each non-federal entity maintain effective control over, and accountability for all funds, property, and other assets, including having written procedures in place. Key changes which effect the Organization include: • Increased documentation • Time and effort reporting for payroll • Specific purchasing consideration Cause: The Borough did not implement adequate controls to ensure compliance with this reporting requirement. Potential Effect: Errors could occur in financial reporting. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization update its existing policies to comply with the requirements under 2 CFR 200.302. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management understands the importance of defining and following the necessary policies and procedures to remain in compliance with the requirements under 2 CFR 200.302. Borough of Yardley will implement these policies and procedures to ensure that the organization will comply going forward.

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. This issue was isolated to the one annual P&E report submitted during the audit period. 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. In addition, regular reviews will verify that corrective actions from prior audits are fully implemented and maintained. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2024

Housing Voucher Cluster – FALN No. 14.871 & 14.879 – HQS Enforcement Recommendation: We recommend the Commission review their abatement procedures to ensure that any unit that has not met the HQS standards that HAP is properly abated as well as review their procedures for enforcing correction of deficiencies to tenants. 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.

Housing Voucher Cluster – FALN No. 14.871 & 14.879 – Annual HQS Inspections Recommendation: We recommend the Commission review its HQS inspection policies and procedures and discuss these standards with the third-party inspection company that is utilized for these inspections to ensure all inspections are performed timely and that all necessary documentation is maintained for each inspection. 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. During 2023, for one subrecipient, HESI did not retain evidence of the review performed of the subrecipient’s eligibility to receive funding and did not retain evidence of the monitoring of the subrecipient’s audited financial statements. Planned Corrective Action: The subrecipient’s audited financial statements and Report on Federal Awards in accordance with Uniform Guidance were subsequently requested and reviewed in September 2024. Procedures have been put in place to ensure that subrecipients are eligible to receive Federal funding and a subrecipient’s audited financial statements and compliance reports will be requested and reviewed annually. Name and Person Responsible: Beth-Ellen Berry, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: September 3, 2024

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. Contact Person: Amy Barnes, Village Clerk/Treasurer, 608-523-4521, Email: clerk@blanchardvillewi.gov Anticipated Completion: December 31, 2024
