Finding 2022-02: Late Submission of Financial Statements to FAC and REAC (Significant Deficiency) Corrective Action Plan: Lack of leadership and structure within the Finance department along with the ripple effects from a previous waiver submission requirement under COVID for delayed audit submissions lead to missed deadlines for the delivery of the financial statements to REAC. To remedy this finding, RRHA’s new CFO has implemented an earlier internal deadline for Unaudited FDS submissions. RRHA’s Unaudited FDS is due November 30th. However, the new internal deadline date will be scheduled before Thanksgiving each year. We will also work with our auditors to establish an audit schedule that will allow us to submit the Audited FDS prior to the June 30th deadline. Name of Responsible Person: Precious Washington, Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer Expected Completion Date: September 30, 2024

2022-01 Technical Name of contact person: Annie Murrell, Director of Social Services Corrective Action: Forced Eligibility Supervisors will ensure that staff are utilizing dictation templates that was implemented in January 2022.

Supervisors for all Medicaid programs will complete a review of all transfer cases prior to accepting the transfer to identify possible errors in the case. If needed supervisors will reach out to the transferring county. This change will be effective October 2023. Income - Total Countable Income CMA implemented recertification checklist in September 2022 that will assist workers in completing steps during the recertification process and second partying their work as well.

Condition: During testing of tenant files, there were 5 instances where inspection documentation or HQS documentation was missing. Corrective Action: Management has established the proposed controls included in the Recommendations outlined in the Federal Awards Findings and Questioned Costs document: Management created a review tool checklist of all required forms for the frontline staff to use as reference, for the Housing Coordinator to review assistance requests and client charts; and for leadership to conduct randomized internal audits; updated the training curriculum for Housing Department staff; new frontline staff has been hired, and trained to include clarification of compliance elements, the rationale and their importance, and which forms satisfy each one. WNCAP recognizes that the deficiency appears to persist, but this is due to the corrective actions being implemented in the first quarter of 2023, which is when the final audit report for FY 2020-21 was completed, and which time period is not covered by this audit. After implementation, internal review of client records confirms that they addressed this deficiency, as evidenced by the complete, compliant files. This will be reflected in the next Single Audit for FY 2022-23, and going forward.

Condition: During the testing of tenant files, certain documentation deficiencies noted as summarized below: 14 – Missing Release of Information documentation. 9 – Missing documentation of client and/or landlord participation agreements. 4 – Missing documentation of current income or verification of 0 income. 3 – Missing documentation of housing plan or assessment. Corrective Action: Management has established the proposed controls included in the previous audit, which match the Recommendations outlined in the Federal Awards Findings and Questioned Costs document: created a review tool checklist of all required forms for management to review assistance requests and client charts; updated the training curriculum for Housing Department staff, new frontline staff has been hired and trained to include clarification of compliance elements, the rationale and their importance, and which forms satisfy each one. Management also decided to overhaul all department forms and has begun a review process. WNCAP recognizes that the deficiency appears to persist, but this is due to the corrective actions being implemented in the first quarter of 2023, which is when the final audit report for FY 2020-21 was completed, and which time period is not covered by this audit.

Condition: The WNCAP Single Audit was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the prescribed period. Corrective Action: The key position of Director of Finance was filled in October 2022, and will remain appropriately staffed going forward. The main cause for this delay was the delay of the previous Single Audit, since it extended into this fiscal year’s timeline. The Director of Finance was able to complete the SEFSA for this audit in a timely manner, and the audit progressed at a reasonable pace. Management will continue to refine internal processes for efficiency; and WNCAP is on track to submit the next Single Audit (FY 2022-23) by the standard deadline of March 31, 2024. In addition, management created a risk assessment policy and procedure to be initiated any time there is turnover in key personnel who play a role in the finance-related activities of the organization. The process includes the following steps: naming an assessor/monitor to lead the effort, who must be the staff member at the highest level of financial responsibility; creation of a monitoring plan that identifies risks, their potential impacts, the actionable steps to mitigate said impacts, and assigns actionable steps to specific staff. The assessor/monitor decides the duration of the monitoring period, and is tasked with routinely meeting with responsible staff to ensure mitigation activities are implemented, and update the monitoring plan as needed. One of the potential impacts named in the policy is “past-due submission of the Single Audit into the FAC”.

Management’s Response The key fiscal point of contact for HAPCAP was on medical leave for a significant portion of time during the work of the audit. This led to delays in the compilation of required reports. Additionally, near the submission deadline, there was a discrepancy in the financials that was ultimately resolved, but took time to research and also contributed to the late submission. All items within the audit were accurate. HAPCAP now has multiple staff that have been involved in the process of building audit reports. This will allow for timely audit completion for all future audits. We will also work with our audit firm to begin the work of the audit earlier in the calendar year for the 2023 audit.

Condition Upon review of the indirect cost calculations throughout the fiscal year, it was noted that there was no documentation of review and approval of three of the seven calculations tested.
