The Houston Housing Authority agrees with this finding. The Houston Housing Authority has undertaken a program to review all voucher files for the purpose of getting all delinquent recertifications completed. During this process, if other required documents are identified, steps are taken to complete the missing documentation and make sure that the files are complete.

To facilitate this training, the Houston Housing Authority has created a training center that is made available to not only Houston Housing Authority staff but also others to provide a wide variety of training classes.

The recommendation of the auditor was for the Houston Housing Authority to review its existing internal control procedures to ensure that data is properly recorded in the books and records to prevent misstatements from occurring in the future. l he Houston Housing Authority agrees with this finding and related recommendations. During the 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. As we continue to work on getting all past due audits completed we are working very diligently to address the issues within the finance department that gave rise to this finding. We fully expect the finding to be present for the 2022 audit as many of the departmental improvements and changes were not made prior to 2023 so would not have been in practice during 2022. Our audit delinquencies commenced with the 2019 audit being delayed in part due to the COVID pandemic. We also determined in the completion of the 2019 audit that it was in the best interest of HHA to terminate our relationship with the prior auditor and procure a new audit firm. The completion of the 2021 audit will be our second audit wrapped up with the new audit firm. We are confident that the changes we have made and will continue to make will ensure that future prepared by the Houston Housing Authority will be in better condition than those for the 2021 audit. existing internal control procedures to ensure that data is properly recorded in the books and records to prevent misstatements from occurring in the future.

Lack of Internal Controls Over the Application of the Sliding Fee Scale Condition: The Organization lacks consistently applied processes and procedures related to the application of the sliding fee scale. The Organization also lacks a clear review process related to the sliding fee scale to identify errors quickly to allow for corrections to be made in a timely manner. Corrective Action Planned: The Organization has hired a new Chief Financial Officer as well as additional supporting staff within the finance department. The Organization’s policies for the sliding fee scale were recently updated during fiscal year 2022, by management, based on findings during the monitoring by HRSA performed in 2022, but management will consider discussing potential improvements to their policy with the grantor to potentially update it to allow for certain exceptions. The Organization will also consider discussing the agreement with the local school district in more detail with the grantor to either structure their policies to allow for these visits to have different requirements or to see if the grantor would be willing to provide a waiver with regards to theses visits not being technically in compliance with other regular clinic visits. The planned corrective action for this finding is currently in the process of development, approval, and implementation. The Organization expects to have the corrective action implemented by July 1, 2024. The Organization will continue to engage the consulting services of the professional certified accounting firm to assist in this process through completion.
