Failure to report Pell Grant disbursements within 15 days in August of 2022 was the result of a well-documented Ellucian defect that denied Lehigh the ability to obtain the required data from our Banner system. By the time Lehigh received a patch from Ellucian, we had missed the 15-day window. Ellucian acknowledged the bug and Lehigh accepted that it was an anomaly.

Finding 2023-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers & Mainstream Vouchers Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 & 14.879 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 four (4) out of twenty-six (26) annual failed inspections selected for testing. Context: The Authority did not properly abate four (4) out of twenty-six (26) 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). Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $12,804 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the 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 with Notice PIH 2021-14(HA). Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs are in material non-compliance with the 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 reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and has made arrangements to comply with the compliance requirements of the Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Mainstream Vouchers Programs. Jeremy White, HCV Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by March 31, 2024.

The District has taken a number of steps to improve internal controls and will finalize a comprehensive plan for robust internal controls reinstatement by January 10, 2024.

At this time, the Human Resources department ensures redundancy of storage of these contracts, with both paper copies and digital copies of all signed contracts kept in secure spaces. A staff member is charged to ensure these are all filed, and the Supervisor does an internal audit to ensure safekeeping. Going forward, the Human Resources Director will conduct quarterly checks, in May, August, November, and February to ensure all files are in place.

Transaction 02 had a C fiag. - Transaction 03 was imported on October 21, 2022 with the same C flag. - The Spring 2023 semester began on January l7, 2023, and the Spring 23 loan disbursement ($10,250) occurred on January 17, 2023. - The C fiag was resolved April 11, 2023, after the spring loan disbursement and prior to the end of the 2022-23 academic year. The academic year ended on May 11, 2023. Corrective Action Planned: The Graduate Financial Aid Office conducts a comprehensive review of all iSIRs for C flags before proceeding with awarding and disbursing aid. No aid is awarded to a student until the C fiag is addressed. To consistently monitor subsequent ISIR transactions, Graduate Financial Aid receives a daily spreadsheet of that day‘s imported iSIRs, prompting a routine daily review. To further ensure no C flags go unnoticed, Graduate Financial Aid will enhance their current procedures immediately by incorporating the Colleague ISIR Alert Report (IART). This tool highlights any ISIR records that may need review and will be generated weekly. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: DanielleJ Ballantyne, Director, Graduate Financial Aid and Brandon Gumabon, Assistant Director, Graduate Financial Aid.
