Corrective Action: Management will enhance and enforce existing policies and procedures over monitoring of rental reasonableness in compliance with HUD-determined fair market rent requirements. Management has initiated a comprehensive overhaul of our tenant records, driven by our commitment to precision and compliance. Here are the key aspects of our improvement plan: Tenant File Review: Accounting Asset Management has embarked on a thorough review of all tenant files, a task executed in partnership with our Property Management Company. The oversight and coordination of this effort are provided by Father Joe's Asset Management Team, ensuring a rigorous examination of our tenant records. Internal Audit: To guarantee completeness and accuracy, Management is taking the additional step of having Accounting review 20% of tenant files prior to the 2023 audit. Enhanced Procedures and Processes: Concurrently, enhanced procedures and processes are being developed to have additional oversight by property case managers and asset management team. These procedures are designed to guarantee the accuracy and compliance of tenant rent charges within our accounting general ledgers. This multifaceted approach underscores Management’s unwavering commitment to financial accuracy, compliance, and transparency. By meticulously reviewing tenant records and implementing enhanced processes, we aim to fortify our financial management practices and deliver more precise reporting in the future.
