Description of Finding: The University publicly posted the required institutional reports for HEERF to their website using actual grants disbursed to student data, rather than disbursement only reimbursed by the G5 draw downs during the quarters. No other issues were noted with the accuracy of the reports. However, the University also did not post all of the required information in the student reports for HEERF. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Management agrees these reports were incomplete due to lack of uncertainty with the HEERF reporting requirements and disbursements made in the current accounting system. Corrective Action: Management will adjust reports noting the required quarterly reports on the website and only use quarterly funds received for providing all of the student report information for HEERF.

2022-002 Tenant Files: Eligibility Program: U.S. Department of HUD: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance This is a repeat finding of 2021-001 from September 30, 2021 (Other Matter and Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance). Originally reported as finding 2019-001 from September 30, 2019 (Material Weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance) Statement of Condition: Out of a total tenant population of approximately 1,114 vouchers, 25 files were selected for testing. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 tenant file had the following errors: o The tenant?s annual recertification application is missing. o The tenant?s signed 9886 form is missing. o The wrong utility allowance schedule was used to calculate the tenants? utility allowance. Correcting this error would cause the HAP rent to increase by $9. o The tenant?s signed HAP contract is missing. ? 1 tenant file had the following errors: o The name and social security number for one of the tenant?s dependents was reported incorrectly on the 50058 form. o The tenant?s utility allowance was calculated correctly but was reported incorrectly on the 50058 form. Correcting this error would cause the HAP rent to increase by $56. ? 1 tenant file had the following errors: o The lease agreement was not signed by the tenant. o The tenant?s assets was reported in error. Correcting this error would cause the rent to increase by $8. ? 2 tenant files where the tenants? income was miscalculated. Correcting the errors would cause the HAP rent for one of tenant files to decrease by $12 and the other to increase by $181. ? 2 tenant files where the wrong utility allowance schedule was used to calculate the tenants? utility allowance. Correcting these errors would cause the HAP rent for one of the tenant files to decrease by $13 and the other to increase by $14. ? 1 tenant file where the family?s assets was reported in error. Correcting the errors had no effect on the HAP rent. ? 1 tenant file where a member of the household moved but was reported on the 50058 form. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s signed HAP contract is missing. ? 1 tenant file where the EIV report was never generated or was misplaced. In addition to the above, we noted the following during our new admissions testing (out of a total of 118 new admission, 18 files were selected for testing.): ? 1 tenant file where the member of the household did not checkmark the checkbox on the 214-affidavit form indicating that they are a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident. However, the member?s birth certificate confirms that the member is a U.S. Citizen. ? 1 tenant file where the tenant?s signed 214-affidavit is missing. However, the member?s birth certificate confirms that the member is a U.S. Citizen. Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority concurs with this finding. The Authority has an established review, oversight and training process and will continue to improve its review, oversight, and training process to ensure proper procedures are being followed. All audit findings of the files tested will have been corrected. The Authority has implemented a quality control system so that every file receives a quality review for appropriate third-party verification and upfront income and assistance is determined. The agency has created a Family Worksheet and an HCV Computation Worksheet to help staff identify errors in calculations and to check for accuracy prior to completing Annual Reexaminations and Interim Recertifications. The agency has changed its filing system to enable staff to thoroughly review all forms prior to admission and during regular recertification and interim adjustment processing. The agency created an Other Adult packet to ensure 214 forms and other pertinent are completed for all adult household members. The HCV Counselor caseloads have been distributed equitably amongst Counselors to promote efficiency and accuracy while working on each HCV participant?s file. The Counselor?s caseload is divided alphabetically and assigned by multifamily developments to track and monitor counselors? strength and weaknesses, and to determine if additional training and/or monitoring is needed. Internal file reviews are being completed and management will continue to conduct a 10% review for each Counselor?s processing of annual recertifications. This percentage may increase if work product indicates a need for more stringent review. To further ensure compliance and accuracy, the HCV Program Manager will review at least 1 out of every 5 intake files. The Authority has had a significant turnover in the HCV department over the past 24 months. All HCV staff will attend Voucher Specialist training and Nan McKay HCV Rental Calculation Certification training. Effective Date: June 20, 2023 Contact Information Gwendolyn B.

Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Contact Person: David Felix, Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: May 18, 2023 Planned Corrective Action: When the City received notification of the award of CSLFRF funds, the CFO and City Attorney reviewed the law and, based on how it was written, felt that we could apply it to the Fire Department?s salary expenses as over 80% of their calls are for emergency medical services, they are the first responders to a 911 EMS call, and they usually transport the patients to the hospital. Neither in the initial law documentation, nor in the initial application, was there an option to select a $10M de minimus revenue loss option. If this was available, the City would have chosen that up front. We completed the interim report based on data created by inquiries run in our General Ledger on the date we submitted the report. We believed the data was saved on our system, but we can not find the electronic copy of it. As adjustments have been made to the data since then, we are unable to recreate a report that matches the data on the interim report. We can get within $800, but not the exact amount. Going forward, we will ensure the data is saved and put in a place that it is easier to retrieve.

Finding: 2022-002 Name of Contact Person: Tammy Mixon, Medicaid Supervisor Corrective Action: "Of the eight errors found during this audit, only four were repeat findings from previous audit year. Those four findings occurred prior to the training from August 24, 2021, which was as a result of the previous year findings. Therefore, the workers had not been trained on the proper procedures at the time in which these errors occurred, as they were in the previous timeframe. Further, two of the four cases mentioned were correct later in the file due to COVID 19 waivers, but the audit did not cover the timeframe in which the corrections were found. Of the four findings that were not repeat, the agency has obtained training materials from the Operation Support Team for the State of NC for training to correct. The agency rebuts that this is a repeat finding. as the findings occurred during the timeframe prior to training from previous period findings. Further, only half of the findings were the same as the previous period. The agency denies this is a Significant Deficiency, as there were eight findings out of sixty cases pulled, and half of those findings fell within a timeframe prior to training to correct the issue. These findings were discussed in the monthly Medicaid meeting September 2022. OST training materials have been obtained and will be used for training to prevent future errors. Second party review form was also updated to capture in-kind income for prevention of future errors. " Proposed Completion Date: The training occurred on August 30, 2022 and September 7, 2022.
