The new system performs an automated allowance calculation; however, a manual distribution of the allowance is required to record the adjustment in the proper period. Unbilled receivables are not adjusted by the system; therefore, a manual journal entry is required to record the allowance. The District was not familiar with the system design and the distribution was not recorded in each month. A manual journal entry must be performed at the end of each month to distribute the allowance in the proper period. The District’s monthly closing procedures have been modified to record the allowance at the end of each month.

The Houston Housing Authority agrees with this finding and related recommendations. During this audit, as these issues arose, notes were taken, evaluation of what had happened was made so that we could make the necessary adjustments to our procedures to prevent the continuation of these issues. In addition, we hired a firm to come in and undertake a review of the finance department. The purpose of this review was to review our existing staffing levels, workloads, experience, etc., for purposes of proposing a reorganization of the finance department to address any deficiencies. We have reviewed the recommendations from this consultant and are in the process of implementing many of the recommended changes. We are in the process of bringing in additional staff to expand the capacity of the Finance department. As we had fallen behind on our audits we anticipated the weaknesses noted in prior audits would continue to be present in future audits. We have been working very diligently to address the issues within the finance department that gave rise to this finding. We fully expect this finding or a similar finding to be present for the 2023 audit as many of the departmental improvements and changes were only recently made and would not have been in place for the majority of 2023.

The County was not able to provide support for payroll expenditure amounts charged to the grant for part-time hourly employees. Recommendation: We recommend management should review the process of timekeeping for grant eligible employees for daily time input, as well as grant authorized wages. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Grant Accountant met with department staff to review the time tracking process for grant-eligible employees to ensure that all payroll expenditures charged to the grant are eligible, authorized, and charged on an individual employee basis. Project codes in Infor allow salary distribution and personnel information to be assigned to each grant. Where possible, this function is to assist in supporting the amounts charged to the grant program. The department will maintain documentation to support the amounts and allowability of the charges applied to the grant for payroll. The County is evaluating new time tracking systems to be implemented in 2025 that will allow for time tracking and reporting at a grant/program level.

Cornerstones acknowledges that our files were incomplete. It is our position that the COVID-19 pandemic created immense need to which Cornerstones responded by expanding rapidly and mobilizing funding and program requests that did not receive the benefit of comprehensive planning; the focus was on health prevention, isolation and quarantine activities, and temporary shelter for homeless and other low-income, vulnerable seniors and disabled persons. We served those in need and our intake processes and recordkeeping did not keep pace. Additionally, given the time that has passed since the services in question, it is possible that records that did exist were misplaced. Staff turnover, resulting from the pandemic burden, made it challenging to go back to the work that had been done. In the time since these events Cornerstones has further emphasized the compliance and documentation needs of the case management process, and we have filled turned-over positions with experienced staff that also understand intake and documentation requirements. We have also hired a Senior Director, Finance with over 20 years of federal contracts experience that is an integral part of increased program compliance and operational oversight responsibilities within the Finance/Operations function. This Senior Director and Cornerstones’ Chief Financial & Operating Officer, Executive Vice President of Housing and Community Programs, and other program leaders and staff, will all work together to ensure that the file construction process is complete and timely for all participants. Due to timing of receiving this finding, remediation processes began in fiscal year 2024 and will be applied fully to the fiscal year 2025, beginning 7/1/2024, files.
