Material Weakness: Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and conditions of the federal award. The Hospital claimed reimbursement for health-related lost revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic. Condition: The Hospital claimed reimbursement for health-related lost revenue based on a comparison of actual monthly revenue for the months of March, April, and May 2020 to the same corresponding months of 2019. Within the calculation, the Hospital excluded certain other operating revenue from the 2020 monthly totals which were included in the 2019 monthly totals. As a result, the compilation of revenue used between the periods was not consistently applied resulting in a higher lost revenue calculation than prescribed by the applicable guidance.

Finding 2023-003: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Housing Quality Standards Inspections. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (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)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussions with management, the Authority did not properly abate thirteen (13) out of twenty-five (25) annual failed inspections selected for testing. Context: The Authority did not properly abate thirteen (13) out of twenty-five (25) 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: $66,242 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over 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 material non-compliance 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 assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Authority Response: We agree with the Auditor’s observations on the re-inspection of the failed units. Based on the auditor’s recommendation, the Authority will implement a more stringent oversight to ensure that internal control policies are being followed in a timely manner to show improvement in this area. In addition, the Authority has recently hired a HQS inspector in the Leasing and Occupancy department, which will assist to improve the quality control component of the program. Further the Authority is actively seeking to fill the vacant Director and Supervisor positions in the L&O department, to improve the entire operation function of this department.

The South Central Cooperative Director, Kristi Hilzendeger, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. This finding is due to the size of the South Central Cooperative, which precludes staffing at a level sufficient to provide an ideal environment for internal controls. The Cooperative has developed policies to help monitor the lack of segregation of duties, but due to the size of the Cooperative it is not feasible, or fiscally responsible to implement anything else at this time. The Cooperative will continue to follow the controls currently in place.
