FINDING 2024-002 "Housing Choice Voucher Tenant Files - Eligibility - Internal Control over Tenant Files - Noncompliance & Significant Deficiency 11 SHA RESPONSE The Springfield Housing Authority acknowledges the seven (7) errors as delineated in the full 2024 FYE audit report. In 2024, the Springfield Housing Authority Housing Choice Voucher program delineated the following positions to undertake income and rent calculations: one (1) Special Programs Coordinator, four (4) HCV Specialists and one (1) Program Integrity Specialist. Of those six (6) employees, only one had a tenure longer than 12 months. Due to continuing post COVID-19 turnover and lack of qualified workers in the local workforce, the SHA experienced a higher than usual turnover rate in the HCV positions that conduct rent calculations during the majority of FY2024. The Springfield Housing Authority hired third party consultants to assist with annual recertifications in the 3rd Quarter of 2023 that continued through December 31, 2024. The primary function of the Program Integrity Specialist position is to audit and quality control tenant files and rent calculations conducted by HCV Specialists. The HCV Director and/or HCV Manager is responsible for reviewing 3% of recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist position as an additional quality control measure. This error rate was directly attributable to the unprecedented turnover rate of HCV Specialists during the 2024 fiscal year. The Director of HCV, HCV Manager, HCV Specialists, HCV Special Programs Coordinator and Program Integrity Specialist were provided additional internal and external training opportunities in HCV rent calculations and program integrity in June 2025. The SHA will take the following corrective actions to correct the errors and/or prevent the errors moving forward: • The Program Integrity Specialist will conduct reviews of 100% of annual and interim recertifications for HCV program participants by December 31, 2025. • The Program Integrity Specialist will ensure 100% audited file corrections are completed by the HCV Specialists, monthly. • The HCV Director and/or Manager will review 10% of the recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist as an additional quality control measure by December 31, 2025. • Any newly hired HCV Director, HCV Manager, HCV Specialists and Program Integrity Specialist will be provided with additional external training opportunities in Housing Choice Voucher program income and rent calculations and program integrity within sixty (60) days of employment. • The HCV Director and/or Manager will re-review the files identified with errors during the independent audit and resolve the errors in accordance with the SHA Administrative Plan and HUD rules and regulations by December 31, 2025. Person Responsible: Melissa Huffstedtler Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2025

FINDING 2024-001 "Public Housing Tenant Files - Eligibility- Internal Control Over Tenant Files Non-Compliance and Significant Deficiency" SHA RESPONSE • The Springfield Housing Authority acknowledges the five (5) errors as delineated in the full 2024 FYE audit report. The auditors pulled files from two points in time through the fiscal year. It was noted that the identified errors were from the second half of the fiscal year tenant actions (July- December) when the Springfield Housing Authority experienced a staffing shortage in both the Program Integrity and Asset Manager functions of the Public Housing program. The majority of identified errors were found in instances where the public housing operations was short staffed in five positions (2 Asset Managers, 1 Program Integrity Specialist, 1 Occupancy Specialist and 1 Inspector). Staffing stabilization at the first half of the fiscal year gave way to a higher than usual turnover rate in the positions that conduct rent calculations, file audits and inspections during the latter part of FY2024. The primary function of the Program Integrity Specialist position is to audit and quality control tenant files and rent calculations conducted by Occupancy Specialists. The Asset Managers are responsible for reviewing 3% of recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist position as an additional quality control measure. The Asset Managers, Occupancy Specialists and Program Integrity Specialists were provided additional internal and external training opportunities in low rent public housing rent calculations and program integrity in June 2025. The SHA will take the following corrective actions to correct the errors and/or prevent the errors moving forward: • The Program Integrity Specialist will conduct reviews of 100% of annual and interim recertifications for public housing tenants by December 31, 2025. • The Program Integrity Specialist will ensure 100% audited file corrections are completed by the Occupancy Specialists, monthly. • The Asset Manager(s) will review 10% of the recertifications audited by the Program Integrity Specialist as an additional quality control measure by December 31, 2025. • Any newly hired Asset Managers, Occupancy Specialists and Program Integrity Specialists will be provided with additional external training opportunities in low rent public housing rent calculations and program integrity within sixty (60) days of employment. • The Asset Managers will re-review the files identified with errors during the independent audit and resolve the errors in accordance with the SHA Admissions and Continued Occupancy Plan and HUD rules and regulations by December 31, 2025. Person Responsible: Melissa Huffstedtler, Deputy Director Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2025

The Company acknowledges non-compliance with 2 CFR § 200.305 that the entity must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the U.S. Treasury or the pass-through entity and the disbursement of funds by the recipient or subrecipient. However, the questioned costs that were transferred in advance were ultimately deemed reasonable because they were disbursed during the grant period for allowable costs as part of the federal contract awarded. The Company will ensure a proper understanding of the compliance requirements for all federal contracts prior to requesting funds and will ensure funds transferred are compliant with the requirement that the Company minimize the time elapsed from the time of transfer and the disbursement of funds in accordance with the grant terms. Contact Person Michael Davis, Chief Financial Officer of Southern Regional Hospital Expected completion date: This will be implemented on new federal contracts awarded subsequent to August 28, 2025.

For example, cash to accrual adjustments, depreciation calculations and adjustments, adjustments to debt and interest expense, interest subsidy adjustments, etc. Management Response: Management has evaluated the risk that a material misstatement might occur and not be detected in the financial statements. Management believes that the risk of material misstatement is not significant for the following reasons: 1. The entries are standard entries required to be made each year. If an entry was not made it would be obvious in the financial statements. A calculation error that would be material to the financial statements would also be obvious. 2. Management reviews and approves both the proposed adjusting journal entries and the financial statements prior to release. Based upon management’s consideration of the risk of material misstatement, management believes the costs of hiring, training, and monitoring part-time accounting personnel far exceed any potential benefits from implementing additional controls.

Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: As reflected in the full text of the finding, the City has controls in place for contracts known to be paid with federal grant dollars. Since 2021 the City has worked to tighten controls over suspension and debarment, including significant staff training and clarification to the procurement process to include individual staffs’ responsibility over confirming contractor’s suspension and debarment status as well as internal project checklists. Going forward the City will: • Incorporate verbiage into all future contracts requiring contractors to affirm they are not suspended or debarred from receiving grant funding, even if the contract is not expected to be funded by grant funding. • If a similar situation were to arise in the future where an existing contract’s funding source is changed to include grant funding, only funds spent prospectively would be reimbursable with grant funding and only after the contractor is confirmed to not be suspended or debarred.

McIntyre Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-376-2595 rmcintyre@columbus.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The City Finance team has added an additional member in 2025 to oversee compliance around grants as well as apply to new grant opportunities. A duty of this position will be to review grant expenditures for compliance, including Suspension and Debarment review requirements on federal funding. Furthermore, this position will develop a specific training program to all departments who receive federal funds (including and especially CCU) as well as train and follow up for competency. The departments will be responsible for first line of review prior to commitment of federal grant expenditures.
