Condition: While performing audit procedures over payroll disbursements, we identified three separate instances where the allocation of an employee’s hours by grant in the monthly timesheet distribution spreadsheet was not consistent with the actual time charged to the respective grants as reflected in the employee’s approved timesheet for the pay period. As a result, the payroll allocation journal entries recorded for those months was not consistent with the actual work performed for each grant. Cause of Condition: Internal controls in place are not adequately designed and implemented to ensure payroll allocation journal entries are determined based on actual hours worked on the employees’ timesheets for the respective pay periods. Corrective Plan: CWP will separate duties. The error occurred at the beginning of the payroll process while entering hours from the timesheets. The Executive Assistant will enter hours from the timesheets into the distribution spreadsheet. The Fiscal Manager will review and signoff the data entered. Implementation Date: February 1, 2025 Responsible Staff: Laura Kropf, Fiscal Manager

Finding 2024-002: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance – E. Eligibility – Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility Criteria: Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: There are approximately 1,634 units. Of a sample size of twenty-nine (29) tenant files, the following was noted: • Verification of income was missing in 1 file • Lead based paint form was missing in 1 file Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: $8,500 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor. The affected files relate to clients that have been on the program for decades and as files get large, archiving takes place. To correct this finding, a directive will be issued to staff that will ensure that when files are archived the original application must be placed in the current working file going forward. Julio Guridy, Executive Director, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by June 30, 2025.

A corrected ISIR came in after verification was complete and instead of going through the normal process of being reviewed and repackaged by the director, the student record was accidentally filed away. This happened due to human error. We have a process in place to monitor corrected ISIR transactions to ensure that the EFC (SAI effective for award year 2024-25 and later) agrees with our documentation.

2024-01 Audit Finding/Plan of Action As requested, the Lexington Housing Authority (LHA) proposes this corrective plan of action to address a finding and other deficiencies found during an audit conducted by Rector, Reeder & Lofton PC, onsite at LHA September 16-20, 2024. Specifically, those deficiencies include: • Thirteen (13) files where the annual reexamination was completed or made effective at least two months past the due date. • Four (4) files lacking proper verification of income or deductions. • Three (3) files with miscalculationsof annual income. • Four (4) files missing the EIV. • One (1) file processed for annual reexamination without tenant involvement. LHA proposes the following to address the finding and deficiencies. - LHA will require training for each Housing Management Specialist (HMS) to review rent calculation, income verification, deductions and EIV file documentation. - Like other employers nationally, LHA is challenged with staffing issues, with a turnover rate of 84% for new hire HMS. To address staffing LHA will: • Advertise open positions online, on social media and in the local newspaper. • Evaluate incentives that will allow LHA to retain staff. • Allow over-time on an as-needed basis to complete and process certifications. • Offer new HMS pay beyond the minimum position classification scale. Further, LHA housing management staff will adhere to the following procedures to facilitate timely completion of annual certifications. - HMS staff will continue utilize in-person interviews and mail (via USPS and email) to complete needed documentation for annual certifications. - HMS staff may utilize electronic signature to attain required signatures when necessary. - Periodically housing managers will run the certification audit report to be shared with the Chief Operating Officer to monitor the status of in-progress and upcoming certifications. - LHA's compliance coordinator will complete QC reviews of 50% or 457 public housing files during FY2025. The compliance coordinator has undergone several training workshops and staff-shadowing during 2024 and is adequately trained to complete this task. - LHA will evaluate the possibility of securing a third-party to assist in timely completion of annual recertifications. LHA staff will apply these procedures as outlined to mitigate this finding to ensure compliance and proper documentation of future certifications.

2024‐001 – Incorrect Calculation of Title IV Funds Refunds (Significant Deficiency) Criteria: The total number of calendar days in a payment period or period of enrollment includes all days within the period that a student was scheduled to complete, except that scheduled breaks of at least five consecutive days are excluded from the total number of calendar days in a payment period or period of enrollment and the number of calendar days completed in that period. Condition: From a population of 208 students that officially or unofficially withdrew from a payment period, we tested 22 and noted that ten students required refund calculations. From these calculations we noted the following: 1. Thanksgiving break of five days was deducted incorrectly from total days in three calculations. 2. Spring break of nine days was deducted incorrectly as five days in one calculation. Action Taken: We concur with this finding. The Office of Financial Aid conducted an internal review of all Return of Title IV (R2T4) calculations for the 2023‐2024 academic year. Two students within the audit sample had been corrected prior to the audit; however, their disbursements were not updated in the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system at the time of the request. To prevent future discrepancies, we have collaborated with PowerFAIDS to ensure that the appropriate number of days associated with Thanksgiving and Spring Break are accurately assigned to students. Additionally, each financial aid counselor will complete the R2T4 calculation within three days of receiving a withdrawal notification email. Upon completion, the calculation will undergo a review by the Associate and/or Senior Director of Financial Aid to verify accuracy.

Corrective Action Plan: Due to a sudden and unanticipated staffing shortage, R2T4 calculations were performed beyond the required timeframe. A staff member has been hired and one of their main tasks is to do R2T4 Calculations. We reached out to the faculty to get the last day of academic related engagement. In cases where we are unable to get the last day of academic related engagement, the federal guidelines allow schools to use the midpoint of the payment period for the R2T4 calculations. All policies and procedures relating to R2T4 processing have been reviewed and updated, and a review of all prior year calculations will be performed as well, to ensure compliance. Additional staff have been hired and trained in the process, and calculations are being performed. Adequate and trained staff will ensure that all required calculations are performed accurately, and according to required timelines. In addition, the Financial Aid Office has transitioned from SAM to the Colleague Financial Aid System (starting in 2024-25) which will provide a more automated and integrated process, with enhanced internal controls.
