Action taken in response to finding: The Finance team corrected their processes to ensure proper recording of payroll costs during the time of the FY22 Audit procedures; however, the changes were made to subsequent months and previously submitted months were not retroactively corrected. Additionally, the OBHC team is currently working with the HCA in restructuring the rate schedule to incorporate the payroll costs into the direct service rates for the SOR/SABG grants. This effectively removes this issue going forward in FY25 once approved by the HCA.

Finding 2023-03 Reporting – Data Collection Form and Reporting Package (Significant Deficiency) U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Community Services Block Grant (Federal Assistance Listing #93.569) Federal Award Numbers: 60204, 60215, 60225, and 60235 Federal Award Year: 2020-2023 Responsible Officials Contact Information: 1) Monae Priolenau-Jones Telephone 718-310-5610, mpriolenau@wearebcs.org 2) Jodi Querbach Telephone 718-310-5600, X 1015 jquerbach@wearebcs.org View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees that the single audit reporting package was not submitted within the required timeframe due to key employee turnover coupled with staffing challenges subsequent to year end. In addition, BCS began a transition from one third-party external firm to another third-party firm in September of 2022. The former firm held the general ledger data for BCS and has been slow to turn it over in a manageable manner causing the delay in filing of the single audit report package. Dmitriy Goyzman (current Chief Financial Officer) was hired in December of 2022 and is actively in the process of hiring a new internal finance team. Back office finance department operations are currently filled by the second third-party external firm. In addition to the CFO, BCS has payroll, purchasing and 2 staff accountants and will have a Controller on staff by mid-June of 2023. Hiring of five additional positions for grants management will be completed in the Fall of 2023 replacing BDO personnel with in-house staff. In our new configuration, BCS will: 1) own its financial software and data, 2) be sufficiently staffed to run its day-to-day financial operations, 3) be able to support program operations in an efficient manner and 4) be able to respond and complete audits on time. The management will ensure that the single audit report package is submitted before the March 31, 2025 deadline. Pursuant to the action plan outlined in the response to Finding 2023 001, the audited financial statements will be issued by November 30th, 2024. Immediately following, the finance team will turn their attention to the reports required by the Uniform Guidance and the Federal Form 990 with a goal of completing fiscal 2024 reporting requirement by January 2025. Recommendation: We recommend that BCS enhance its closing and reporting process to ensure the reports required by the Uniform Guidance is submitted by the aforementioned deadline.

Finding 2023-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Housing Quality Standards Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency 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 biennially 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 discussion with management, there was a failed inspection that did not pass reinspection within 30 days without penalty. Context: There were approximately six hundred ninety four (694) failed inspections during the audit period. Of a sample size of twenty-five (25) failed inspections, one (1) unit did not pass reinspection within 30 days. HAP was not abated nor was the tenant transferred. Known Questioned Costs: $4,107 Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement a corrective action plan that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Authority Response: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and will make the necessary changes to its inspection process to ensure enforcement of Housing Quality Standards (or any subsequent replacement). Irene Melton, Director of Finance, is responsible for implementing this corrective action by December 31, 2024
