Finding #3: 2024‐003 MISSING DOCUMENTATION Corrective Action: Lee’s Summit Housing Authority (LSHA) will implement a formal document management and record retention system to ensure that all source documents supporting financial transactions and program activities are properly maintained, organized, and readily accessible for audit and monitoring purposes. The agency will develop and formally adopt written policies outlining documentation requirements, retention periods, and storage methods for financial, payroll, tenant, and administrative records. LSHA will implement a centralized filing system (electronic and physical) for all supporting documentation, including invoices, bank statements, payroll registers, tenant files, and budget records. LSHA will also restrict access to authorized personnel and ensure documents are protected from loss or unauthorized alteration. LSHA has made reasonable efforts to obtain and reconstruct missing records from third parties such as banks, vendors, payroll providers, and funding agencies. LSHA is providing training to staff on recordkeeping requirements and document management procedures.
