The Brockton Housing Authority {The Authority) has reviewed and agrees with finding 2024-01. The Authority has experienced a large turnover in staff who are responsible for the calculations of rents and Housing Assistance Payments. Through promotions, retirements, and resignations 7 of the 10 staff primarily responsible for this function have left their positions in the last two years and have been replaced by staff new to the position. The Authority did increase quality control reviews due to the transition period. The finding does not identify a systemic issue rather it found various instances of noncompliance.

We are fully committed to meet our reporting obligations for all of our donors. During 2024, the federal government had changed its login process to Payment Management System (PMS) and that resulted in access problems for our users at that time. Replacement account activation was gradual and took some time before we got the access to all the projects on PMS. We are already tracking both financial and narrative reports from the signing stage of projects, and most of the reports are prepared on time. Going forward, we will further strengthen our backup plans for submission of reports, both online and through email. We will develop a backup plan and strengthen delegation plans for each region during the times when the primary contact is not available

Finding Number: 2024-001 Finding Title: Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Program: 93.778 Medical Assistance Program Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Jennifer Bakkelund, Fiscal & Support Services Supervisor Corrective Action Planned: Due to overlap of when we found the errors from 2023 and the corrections of those in 2024, this triggered other areas we knew would have to change in 2024. This included more movement in personnel expenses for programs not considered under federal financial participation. These programs were all removed from the Family Services budget by January 1, 2025. The corrections to our internal systems were corrected in 2025. Chippewa County staff will connect with DHS to review the corrections made in our system as it pertains to the quarterly reports and will adjust as they instruct. For the Administrative split being used each year, we will use the A87 Report to determine the rate. It will be shared with the Payroll department, the County Auditor/Treasurer’s department and Family Services accounting staff prior to the start of the year or prior to any mid-year change. More oversight will be given to placement of “Other” charges that are paid in County systems and to make sure placement of those are correct in the quarterly reports. Anticipated Completion Date: December 2025

Finding #2024-002- Material Adjustments Condition: Johnson Block and Company, Inc. proposed adjusting journal entries during the audit process. We deem these entries to be material in relation to the financial statements. Since the Village did not make these adjustments in its accounting system prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in the Village’s internal controls. Criteria: Material adjusting journal entries not prepared by the Village before the audit are considered an internal control weakness. Cause: The Village does not have policies and procedures in place to ensure that all transactions are properly recorded on the general ledger prior to the audit. Effect: This means that the proper recording and reporting of financial information may not occur within a timely manner. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded in a timely manner. Response: The Village will work to establish policies and procedures to reduce the number of adjusting journal entries proposed by the auditor. Contact Person: Amy Barnes, Village Clerk/Treasurer, 608-523-4521, Email: clerk@blanchardvillewi.gov Anticipated Completion: December 31, 2025

The District reviews this audit finding internally on an annual basis, identifying control procedures and processes that would leverage movement toward the maximum internal control possible with available staffing. The District does recognize this is difficult with a limited number of employees. We will continue to review our procedures to best meet the needs of the District as well as have internal control in place. We will work on dividing out duties and responsibilities so no one person is handling all cash, receipts, and financial transactions without checks & balance in place. A Business Office employee will collect cash and count, and another person will create the deposit slip, with a 3rd person (front office secretary) taking the actual deposit to the bank. Then the Business office employee will be the one responsible for entering the cash receipt into Software.

Recommendation: After thoroughly reviewing the unique circumstance that led to this audit finding, we have determined that it is highly unlikely to recur. Given the organization's strong compliance history and familiarity with SEFA reporting under Uniform Guidance, we do not see a cost-effective benefit to revamping internal controls specifically for the issue. Instead, we recommend continuing to: review government awards, provide refresher trainings to staff, and conduct periodic reviews of internal controls to ensure ongoing compliance. These measures will effectively address the finding without incurring unnecessary costs. Planned Action: The organization acknowledges this was a unique situation and it is unlikely to recur. As a precaution, we will be reviewing training with staff and conduct periodic and annual reviews of the SEFA related funds. We will also continue to bring unique situations to the attention f the auditors to maintain our strong compliance history.
