Finding 2022-001—Reporting The administrative staffing turnover BAERI experienced was detrimental to our ability to meet the reporting deadline for the 2022 audit. Moving forward, BAERI will ensure that our audit report and SF-SAC form are submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within nine months after the end of the audit period. Corrective Action Plan for Finding 2022-001—Reporting BAERI has taken the following steps in order to meet the reporting and deadline requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.512 moving forward: 1. Implement policies and procedures to ensure that the internal documentation needed for our annual audit is easily accessible by finance staff and not onerous for staff to compile for the auditor. 2. Hire and train additional finance staff in order to implement the above mentioned policies and procedures needed to allow for a smooth, timely audit.

Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Finding: 2023-010 Contact Person: Arlen Crabtree Business Operations Manager Economic Development Department Phone: (562) 570-5024 Email: Arlen.Crabtree@longbeach.gov Planned Actions: In April 2024, Economic Development Department worked with the vendor to implement improved evaluation processes related to the income eligibility verification process, including: a. Enhanced Training: The vendor will provide comprehensive training to all reviewers involved in verifying income documentation. This training will emphasize the importance of accurately inputting pay period frequency and using gross income for calculations. b. Secondary checks: The vendor will establish additional quality assurance checks to validate the accuracy of income calculations before final eligibility determinations are made. This may include double-checking calculations by a second reviewer or implementing automated systems to flag potential errors. Additionally, in May 2024 the Economic Development Department has re-evaluated and revised its policy for additional review by staff; increasing the number of applications reviewed by the Economic Development Department from 10% to 30%. In the view of Management of Economic Development Department, increasing the review sample size to 30% sufficiently mitigates the risk of further error while preserving the benefits and efficiencies that utilizing a contract processor provides. Further, the Economic Development Department worked with the vendor to review all applications manually qualified by the vendor to identify any further ineligible applications not found in the sample. Regarding the questioned costs, the Economic Development Department implemented a second round of the Guaranteed Income Program that was funded by non-grant funds. Costs associated with the ineligible applications identified in the audit were reclassified from American Rescue Plan Act funding to the City’s General Fund, and replaced by costs from confirmed eligible applications in the second round of the program. Finally, the City has sought restitution from the vendor on August 29, 2024 for administrative costs of the improperly vetted applications. The City will not seek repayment from the ineligible applicants. The applicants were not responsible for the error. Expected Completion Date: 9/30/2024

Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Finding: 2023-009 Contact Person: Jennifer Saatjian Accounting Services Officer Health & Human Services Department Phone: (562) 570-4022 Email: Jennifer.Saatjian@longbeach.gov Planned Actions: To address delays in reexamination processes, in fiscal year 2024, HACLB has contracted with an agency to assist in processing overdue reexaminations, and HACLB has submitted recruiting requisitions to its Human Resources department to hire additional housing specialists to improve upon its management of the high volume of HCV program participants, documentation and processes, and to meet various requirement deadlines. Regarding the testing of HUD-50058 forms, the HUD-50058 form is generated after information is inputted into HUD’s system. Error warnings are produced from the system if information is missing. Accuracy is based on the information inputted. HACLB will provide additional training to staff inputting the information, and reviews will continue to be done by the supervisor. To further improve upon the process, HACLB implemented new housing software in August 2024, which enhances reporting and tracking of payments, of HUD-50058 forms and of contract amendments. Housing Assistance Coordinators will use these reports to identify and address discrepancies. Regarding the City’s control with the HAP register’s required signatures, HACLB’s internal procedures do not require all six Housing Coordinators to approve the check run/HAP register, as KPMG assumed. There are only three assigned Housing Assistance Coordinators that have designated staff who are allowed to make adjustments and review the check-run adjustment register to confirm the work of their respective teams. If one of the approvers is absent, another approver may review and approve the adjustments that can be completed via email. No further change or action is necessary for this process. Furthermore, supervisors will continue to review completed files and train staff on errors identified in the review process. Expected Completion Date: 9/30/2024

Program: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Finding: 2023-006 Contact Person: Jennifer Saatjian Accounting Services Officer Health & Human Services Department Phone: (562) 570-4022 Email: Jennifer.Saatjian@longbeach.gov Planned Actions: The Housing Authority and the City of Long Beach already has a multi-step review and approval process in place for the processing and posting of journal entries and their support documentation. Moreover, for upcoming fiscal years 2024 and after, the City has changed its indirect costs allocation methodology, in that the City will be directly charging HACLB’s funds its share of overhead costs thereby eliminating the Health and Human Services Department indirect cost allocation plan and related indirect cost charges. However, HACLB will still review the accuracy of the charged overhead costs. Effective fiscal year 2024, September, 30, 2024, HACLB will review the affected general ledger accounts at fiscal year-end, with the new allocation methodology and will verify the charged overhead costs. Expected Completion Date: 9/30/2024

Program: HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Finding: 2023-004 Contact Person: April Apodaca Administrative & Financial Services Bureau Manager Community Development Department Phone: (562) 570-6611 Email: April.Apodaca@longbeach.gov Planned Actions: This issue is related to Finding 2023-003, and should be considered in the context of that response. Housing Quality Inspection times were impacted in 2023 due to staff shortages and the need to address a significant backlog that occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, the City remained committed to ensuring the health and safety of affordable housing by maintaining an overall inspection rate of 19.65% in Fiscal Year 2023. Furthermore, the Community Development Department is taking comprehensive measures to address the needed maintenance completion timeframe following the required inspection, and the goal is to ensure repairs are completed within thirty days. Expected Completion Date: 12/31/2024

Program: HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) Finding: 2023-003 Contact Person: April Apodaca Administrative & Financial Services Bureau Manager Community Development Department Phone: (562) 570-6611 Email: April.Apodaca@longbeach.gov Planned Actions: The Community Development Department has faced challenges in meeting its inspection goals, primarily due to resource limitations, staff redeployment and the impact of COVID-19. It is taking steps to address these issues by forming an in-house inspection team and adopting elements from HUD’s yet-to-be-released NSPIRE system. For example, three full-time positions have been filled as of May 2024 to assist with the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) efforts. The Community Development Department is now taking more systematic, proactive measures to improve the inspection process, particularly through filled vacancies, in-house inspections conducted by department staff, and an active log indicating inspection targets. As a result, during the current fiscal year, there has been a smoother, more data-driven, systematic approach to meeting HQS requirements, as evidenced by the substantial decrease in backlog. The Department is on track to ensure that every project will meet an inspection target that meets the NSPIRE standards (as currently drafted). The Community Development Department will continue to monitor HUD’s proposed NSPIRE standards and will rely on in-house inspections and continued alignment with those until they are finalized. HUD has indicated that the standards will not be finalized until 10/1/2025. Expected Completion Date: 9/30/2024

During a Teams call with a representative from KPMG on July 18, 2024, the City provided the auditor with evidence of continued correspondence with the developer, in the form of emails dated March 18, 2024, March 20, 2024, and, most recently, July 1, 2024. Expected Completion Date: 12/31/2024

Finding 2023-01: The audit report was received by the FAC after the due date of May 31, 2024. Recommendation: A system should be implemented that designates multiple points of contact for the auditor, ensuring continuity in the event of key employee transitions and facilitating timely completion of future audits. Action Taken: Since being made aware of the issue, the administrator and his staff appointed additional board members to gain familiarity with the annual audit process. This will ensure that the auditor will receive all necessary information and documentation in a timely manner, even in the event of employee transitions. In addition, staff has been trained and made aware of the general audit process to ensure future compliance. Implementation Date: Corrective Action plan has been implemented as of September 6, 2024
