Department: Grants & Finance Condition: The District did not record expenditures to the 2020-21 or 2021-22 grants in a timely manner, and internal controls over expenditures charged were not in place throughout the period during which such charges were incurred. Expenditures reported for the Title II, Part A grant in their submission to the Michigan Department of Education?s Financial Information Database (FID) did not agree with expenditures reported in the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) for the same period, as the District did not provide accurate information to the auditors nor did they prepare an accurate SEFA. Corrective Action: Internal controls have been implemented over the purchasing process, all grant expenditures are approved by the Grant Coordinator and Teaching and Learning Department. Grant Coordinator meets on a regular basis with the finance department to ensure that all grant related expenditures are being processed with the correct code and in the correct manner. Any discrepancies that arise are addressed immediately. Person(s) Responsible for Executing Corrective Action: ? Grant Coordinator ? Grant Accountant ? Chief of Teaching and Learning ?

December 31, 2022 Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions ? Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Enforcement Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Material Noncompliance Condition: The Authority did not require HQS deficiencies to be corrected within the required timeframe. The Authority did not abate units that failed to correct HQS deficiencies within the required timeframe. Exceptions were noted in 9 out of 40 failed inspections: The Authority did not require the owner to correct HQS deficiencies within the required timeframe for 2 out of 40 failed inspections. The Authority did not properly abate HAP for 7 out of 40 failed inspections. Cause: The Authority did not reinspect or abate units timely. Auditors Recommendation: Recommend the Authority implements controls to ensure that the Authority requires HQS deficiencies to be corrected within the timeframe set forth by 24 CFR section 982.404(a). Recommend the Authority implements controls to ensure abatement is timely for units that do not correct the cited HQS deficiencies within the required timeframe. Response to Finding 2022-005 The Authority generally concurs with the auditor?s findings and recommendations. The 2022 Audit included the review of 40 files tested for Housing Quality Standards (HQS) Enforcement requirements. Exceptions were noted in nine instances: The Authority did not require the owner to correct HQS deficiencies within the required timeframe for 2 out of 40 failed inspections. The Authority did not properly abate HAP for 7 out of 40 failed inspections. Action Taken: A Corrective Action Plan has been developed to ensure HQS Inspection enforcement is applied at the time of deficiency and if not corrected proper abatement notice being sent out to Landlord and tenant. Implementation began on August 1, 2023. To provide consistency, increase staff knowledge and reduce errors, training will be held immediately and then annually thereafter. In addition, we will increase quality control to monitor letters being sent out to landlords and tenants for the deficiencies that occurred in the unit. The process that will be in place is as follows: 1. Letter sent out to landlord and tenant notifying them the deficiencies in the unit. A time frame of 30 days will be set for the repairs to be made with a re-inspection date already set to verify repairs. 2. If the repairs are not made at that time, an abatement a letter will be sent out to the landlord and tenant notifying them that the HAP payment will stop the first day of the following month which would be a minimum of 30 days. At this time a letter will be sent to the tenant notifying them that a voucher will be issued to them to move to a more suitable unit. 3. If the repairs are not made at the end of the 30-day abatement period the HAP contract will terminate along with the HAP payment. A termination of HAP letter will be sent out to the landlord and tenant for the current unit that the tenant is living in. To monitor the events taking place above, a report will be submitted twice a month before our check run by the supervisor and manager of the inspection department to the HCV Director and Compliance department to monitor the HQS and abatement process. This quality insurance will ensure that all abatements and HQS deficiencies are being processed according to compliance.

Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 6 files where the annual re-examination was not performed within 12 months. Recommendation: The above-mentioned change will only result in non-timely annual re-examinations for some tenants for one time, and will effectively correct itself in future years. Nonetheless, the Authority should review all annual re-examinations for all tenants and immediately perform annual re-examinations for any remaining tenants that have not already had their next re-examination Action Taken: The Authority concurs with this finding and has begun a review of all files to identify any remaining tenants that have not had a timely annual re-examination and to immediately conduct any needed re-examinations.

The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Finding ? 2022-001 Criteria/Requirement: In accordance with 2.CFR?200.331, a pass-through entity must monitor the activities of subrecipients to ensure that federal awards are used for authorized purposes in compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts and grants agreements. Condition/Context: Latino Network passed through $85,311 in funding to subrecipients. During our audit, we noted that the Latino Network did not have documented written controls or procedures to ensure compliance with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget?s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) subrecipient monitoring requirements. Cause: Procedures are not in place to ensure that Latino Network is maintaining adequate monitoring for each federal subrecipient. Effect: Failure to maintain sufficient subrecipient monitoring may result in the wrongful use of federal funds and non-compliance with the provisions of applicable requirements. Questioned Costs: $85,311 Recommendation: The Organization should establish written policies and procedures regarding the monitoring of subrecipients, as well as establish monitoring procedures to ensure that such policies and procedures are being followed. Management?s Response: We agree with the auditors' comments, and the following action will be taken to improve the situation. We will create and document the policies and procedures for effective monitoring of federally granted subrecipients by the end of the fiscal year. We will then perform monitoring of all federally granted subrecipients prior to our FY23 financial audit. Revisions to the users' manual will be made as needed to ensure the manual is current at all times. Grants & Contracts Accountants and Accounting Manager will be trained to perform federally granted subrecipient monitoring.

FINDING 2022-004 ? Reporting ? Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Condition/Context: Although the University could produce documentation to evidence the periodic updating of its website such as contemporaneous email communication, all previously posted HEERF reports prior to the report current as of the timing of our audit could not readily be produced nor could evidence of the review and approval of such reports be produced. The University also was unable to demonstrate that it timely reported the quarterly information to its website. Cause: The exceptions occurred as a result of the lack of internal controls in place to 1) track reporting requirements including the due date per federal regulations, and 2) supervisory review and approval of prepared reports, prior to submission. Corrective Action Plan: NU has updated its HEERF reporting process to include a documented checklist review from the Quality Assurance team, under Brandy Baker, before the report is submitted to demonstrate internal controls and accuracy. NU has created a HEERF report repository that will house historical and current reports. In March of 2023, NU developed a reporting process timeline to better support the collection, processing and reporting of the data in an effort to prevent submission delays managed by Ernie Prunker, Sr. Director Account Services.

FINDING 2022-002 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Enrollment Reporting: Material Weakness in Internal Control Condition/Context: A sample of 75 federal aid recipient students were selected from system generated reports of students who graduated, reported a physical address change, withdrew, or dropped during the 2021-2022 academic year. Of the 75 students who had a change in address, graduated, or withdrew, 19 were not reported to the NSLDS within the required timeframe. Of the 75 students, 3 had an incorrect effective date reported to the NSLDS. Cause: The attendance queries periodically used for change of status purposes were incomplete and failed to identify several students who had stopped attending class prior to completion of a payment period. Corrective action plan: In January of 2023, NU updated its NSLDS reporting policies and procedures overseen by Jorge Salas from our registrar team. The Quality Assurance, under Brandy Baker, team began reviewing enrollment reporting on a regular basis in February of 2023 to confirm the reporting process is consistent with the Title IV regulation. In the event that the Quality Assurance review yields inaccurate reporting, the Quality Assurance team will lead the investigation to determine the cause of the inaccurate reporting and will work with the appropriate departments and teams to ensure that any required corrections to process, reporting, reporting code or systems is rectified. NU reviewed and confirmed that the revised reporting logic would accurately report enrollment statuses, effective dates, and locations.

FINDING 2022-001 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Return of Title IV: Material Weakness in Internal Control Condition/Context: A sample of 60 students who were recipients of Title IV funding and had withdrawn during the year were selected and the student records were compared to the calculation of the return of Title IV funds, if any, and the federal government?s Common Origination and Disbursement system. National University (NU) did not identify 19 of the 60 sampled students as withdrawn. Of these 19 students, 5 students ultimately required funds to be returned. After the error was identified, NU appropriately returned the funds. For 8 of the 60 sampled students, the amount to be returned was not remitted within the required 45 days after NU?s determination of withdrawal. Cause: The attendance queries periodically used for withdrawal determination purposes were incomplete and failed to identify several students who had stopped attending class prior to completion of a payment period. In addition, there is not an established internal control in place to ensure Title IV funds are returned subsequent to the calculation. Corrective action plan: NU has revamped its R2T4 process completely. We have built new reporting, added additional staff, retrained the team in January of 2023, and created a new workflow management tool within our SIS to ensure timely and accurate completion. We have also expanded our quality reviews through our Quality Assurance (QA) team. The QA team, under the leadership of Brandy Baker, on January 1st of 2023 began reviewing files on a regular basis and providing feedback from the reviews with the leaders of the R2T4 team who then use that information to coach or retrain team members and correct errors. We are confident that all of these changes will allow us to effectively correct the findings from this and the previous audit.

Views of Responsible Official: Current management indicated that the former Executive Director of HHA, former Finance Director of HHA, and a former employee were employed by HHA, and the former Executive Director and Finance Director controlled all aspects of HHA?s management and finances during the relevant audited period. The former Executive Director?s employment with HHA was terminated on October 10, 2022. The former Finance Director?s employment with HHA was terminated on October 20, 2022. The third employee?s employment with HHA was terminated on October 11, 2022. Additionally, all but two of the Board of Directors who served during the period in which the irregularities occurred have been replaced. HHA appointed the current Executive Director, Crystal Harrison (?Executive Director?), on October 10, 2022, as Interim Executive Director and promoted her to the position of Executive Director on October 26, 2022. The current Executive Director has diligently searched for all documents and records for all purchases, expenses, and cash distributions at issue during the former Executive Director?s tenure as Executive Director. However, no such documents or records were located on site at HHA?s offices or on HHA?s computers or devices. In early April 2023, HHA?s attorney served the former Executive Director, former Finance Director, and former employee with a demand to produce the missing documents and records but each responded that they had no such documents or records in their possession. Unfortunately, because of the actions of the former Executive Director, Finance Director, and employee, HHA lacks sufficient operating funds to pursue a civil suit to recover the losses caused by these former employees. Further, HHA?s errors and omissions insurance policy only covers third-party claims. As such, HHA has directed its attorney to take all appropriate action to pursue criminal charges of grand theft/embezzlement and fraud against these former employees upon completion of the audit. HHA?s attorney has already reached out to law enforcement to begin this process. Once the formal criminal complaint is filed, law enforcement will be empowered to subpoena the missing documents and records (should said documents and records still exist) from the former employees, as well as their banking and financial records (including tax returns) to track the suspicious expenses and cash distributions at issue. The current Executive Director, with the full support of HHA?s Board, is committed to taking all action necessary to ensure compliance with the rules and procedures already in place regarding expenses and cash distributions, as well as to enact new enhanced procedures for periodic reviews of these procedures to timely detect deficiencies and ensure compliance going forward. In addition, the current Executive Director will implement a process to ensure that backup records are maintained electronically as well as in a paper form.
