The individual random client sample of 60 participants did not detect any duplications. However, as a new administrator we became aware of the duplicates as identified in the reconciliation provided to the auditors. The manual process used contributed to the duplications in ERA1 and ERA2. The duplications do not appear to be more than the allowable limits. If United Way of Marion County, Inc. would take on such a large endeavor in the future the organization would invest in a digital system. As the new President & CEO, I did my own sampling from the paper applications and payments for examination and gain knowledge of how system change would provide improved internal controls.

Management’s Planned Corrective Action: It is the policy of the Association that all timesheets must be signed by the employee and the employee’s supervisor. At the present time all time sheets are given to me for review and approval. It is my responsibility to verify that the time sheets have the proper signatures on them before I give them to the bookkeeper for processing. I can only assume that the transactions that you reviewed were not complete due to the fact that timesheets were not signed due to the fact that some employees were not in the office due to Corvid.

Finding no.: 2022-001 Contact person(s) responsible: Kymberly Horner, Executive Director Corrective action planned: The late filing was due to the fiscal manager position at PCRI experiencing turnover in September of 2019, this, along with the onset of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020 led to delays in the normal review and submission of the data collection form. The fiscal manager position has been staffed and is aware of the deadline related to the submission of the data collection form. Anticipated completion date: October 2023

Finding no.: 2022-002 Contact person(s) responsible: Kymberly Horner, Executive Director Corrective action planned: As has been addressed earlier in management’s response to Finding 2022-001, PCRI had created and filled two new positions in the Fiscal Department — the Controller and an additional Staff Accountant. The additional staff led to better internal controls and more timely reconciliations throughout 2022. Notwithstanding these efforts, time was needed to train personnel on PCRI systems and emphasis was put on the completion of the subsidiary audits for King Parks Apartments Limited Partnership and MLK & Cook Apartments Limited Partnerships, which are an integral part of the consolidated PCRI audit report, in the early months of 2022 leading to the noted delay in reconciliations for the PCRI audit. In addition to these delays, PCRI once again experienced turnover in the added Staff Accountant position in June of 2023, leading to delays and the employee in the Controller position went on an extended medical leave and subsequently ended employment with PCRI, leading to further delays. Further contributing to delays was the turnover of accounting staff at the property management company with whom PCRI contracts for management of the Maya Angelou and Park Terrace properties which lead to delays in starting those audit engagements which are integral to the consolidated PCRI audit report. In response to this cycle of staff turnover, PCRI contracted with an external service to fill the Staff Accountant position while the search for a permanent employee to fill the position continues to this day, and PCRI has subsequently hired a well-qualified person as Fiscal Director. The property manager for the Maya Angelou and Park Terrace properties has also taken steps to stabilize their accounting operations. These responses have mitigated the risk of delay of future audits as the additional personnel hired in response to the 2021 finding was effective were it not for the untimely turnover of staff during the time when the 2022 PCRI audit was being prepared for and conducted. Anticipated completion date: December 2023

PREPARATION OF SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks HOME Investment Partnership Program ALN 14.239; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The Authority provided information relating to the federal programs including grant agreements and other supporting documentation. However, the information prepared by the auditee required material adjustments as a result of audit procedures. Certain account reconciliations were not performed prior to the audit, which impacted amounts reported on the SEFA. Recommendation In order to meet Uniform Guidance requirements, the Authority should prepare the SEFA from the grant award documentation and any other relevant information including the assistance listing numbers, grant award amounts, grant amounts received, grant amounts expended, and grant revenue recorded. The amounts reported in the SEFA should reconcile to the general ledger. Management Response The Authority researched the method to prepare a SEFA and will be preparing the SEFA starting with the 2023 audit.

REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The Authority did not maintain documentation of internal controls over reporting for the programs. For required Community Development Block Grant Reporting under Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, total Labor Hours reported for 2022 did not agree to support maintained. Additionally, for the Emergency Rental Assistance program, while reporting spreadsheets were provided, supporting documentation for the amounts reported were not maintained. Recommendation We recommend that all grant reports are reviewed by a person independent of the preparer who has knowledge of the grant requirements. This review should include comparing the amounts reported to detailed support for accuracy. We also recommend the Authority review their recordkeeping procedures for documentation related to grant reporting. There should be a process in place to ensure all required documentation is maintained and filed in an orderly system that allows the Authority to locate and provide documentation when required. Management Response The Authority contracted with Neighborly Software for a program to use with ERAP. At the beginning of ERAP, the Authority relied upon the data from the Neighborly program to generate its reports. By the 4th quarter of 2021, the Authority realized it could only utilize a portion of the Neighborly program for the data required for the reports and needed to supplement or add its own internal data. This method of utilizing Neighborly and internal data is now being used for reports.

TIMING OF AUDIT COMPLETION - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks HOME Investment Partnership Program ALN 14.239; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The 2022 financial statement audit was not completed until April of 2025. The significant increase in grant funding limited staff capacity to prepare for and provide information requested for the audit. For example, key reconciliations needed to support balances were not prepared by management prior to the audit. Recommendation We recommend that the Authority revisit job descriptions and staff capacity as well as evaluate needed training so that there is adequate time to gather and provide necessary audit information in a timely manner. Job descriptions should assign responsibility for this process, as well as provide a level of review for accountability. Management Response The Authority hired an assistant fiscal officer in the fall of 2021 and another assistant fiscal officer in the fall of 2022. As a result of the hiring, job responsibilities have been re-assigned and data gathering for future audits will occur in a timely manner.
