Corrective action plan: ? For Source Data, the program has developed policies and procedures to document source data. ? For Cumulative Calculations, auditors specifically requested from TDHCA reports submitted to the Treasury from different periods to specifically be able to calculate cumulative figures for obligations and expenditures. TDHCA explained that the methodology the Treasury has requested for grantees to use will not allow the quarterly obligations and expenditures reported to be summed to equal the current cumulative amount due to adjustments for recaptured funds. This is an unavoidable reality of the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program and federal reporting system and can only be rectified in the final report to Treasury. Certain aspects of the Treasury?s design of the program, most significantly the recapture of funds from beneficiaries, can cause the draw/transaction data for a given period, e.g. Q3 2022, to change after that quarter is complete. Per Treasury guidance, TDHCA will be able to resubmit expenditure and obligation figures for each quarter in the final report. For the December 2021 ERA 1 Monthly Compliance Report and November 2021 ERA 2 Monthly Compliance Report, the total number of households served were off by 0.4% and 0.05% due to inadvertently including households who were initially served but later had all of the funds recaptured and therefore should have been excluded. TDHCA has updated internal procedures for calculating these reports to ensure these are excluded from future reports.
