Re: 2023-01 Audit Finding/Plan of Action The Lexington Housing Authority (LHA) proposes this corrective plan of action to address the late recertifications (13) and annual recertification (1) from the audit conducted by Rector, Reeder & Lofton PC, onsite at LHA September 25-29, 2023. ADDRESSING STAFFING Securing qualified candidates to fill Housing Management Specialist (HMS) positions throughout 2020, 2021 and 2022 was challenging for LHA. In some instances, positions were vacant for up to 12 months before they were filled. LHA will do the following to address staffing: • Seek to fill HMS positions within forty-five (45) days of the position going vacant. • Advertise to hire two full-time HMS positions for the two management teams with the most units in their management portfolio. • Continue to advertise open positions online, on social media and in the local newspaper. • Offer incentive bonus up to $1,500 to newly hired HMS, paying $750 to new hires after six month of employment and an additional $750 after 12 months of employment. • Over-time will be allowed on an as-needed basis to complete and process certifications. CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES 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. - All housing management staff may utilize electronic signature to attain required signatures when necessary. - The first day of each month 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. - July 1, 2023, LHA implemented quality control (QC) of public housing files to be conducted by a newly created compliance position. LHA' s compliance coordinator will complete 229 (25%) QC reviews of public housing files during FY2024 (July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024). - At least once monthly on a rotating basis housing management staff from all offices will convene at a selected housing management office to complete and process certifications. This schedule will continue until all offices are up to date on certifications. LHA staff will apply these procedures as outlined to mitigate this finding to ensure compliance and proper documentation of future certifications.

Auditors’ Recommendation: We recommend that as part of preparing monthly bank reconciliations, the reconciliation with the balance from the general ledger should be performed. Any differences should be immediately investigated and corrected. Once completed, the reconciliation should be reviewed by someone independent of the preparer. Both, the individual preparing and reviewing the bank reconciliations should sign or initial and date the reconciliation when completed. We recommend that the District incorporate procedures to ensure that such general ledger accounts are reconciled on a monthly basis. It is important that a dual accounting system is utilized in each individual fund and transactions between funds should be booked through the interfund receivables and payables. School District’s Response: Penny Crowell, Business Manager will ensure that bank reconciliations are prepared on a timely basis throughout the year, which includes a reconciliation to the general ledger. The District will have the Superintendent review bank reconciliations. Once completed, the preparer and reviewer will sign and date each reconciliation to evidence their completion. Lastly, the District will reconcile due to/due from accounts on a monthly basis. These processes will take place during the year ending June 30, 2024.

Auditor’s recommendation: The District should attempt to separate many of the ancillary duties of recordkeeping including: opening the mail and maintaining a cash receipts log; signing of checks, distribution of payroll checks, and bank reconciliation preparation. In addition, financial information such as check registers, payroll registers and cash receipts journals should be reviewed by someone independent of the preparer or the Board of Education. Lastly, because of the lack of certain segregation of duties, we recommend that those individuals who are responsible for handling financial transactions are appropriately covered by a fidelity bond. District’s Response: Penny Crowell, Business Manager, understands the importance of having strong segregation of duties and will attempt to separate certain responsibilities as outlined above for the year ending June 30, 2024.

Auditor’s Recommendation: Although auditors may continue to provide such assistance both now and in the future, under this pronouncement, the District should continue to review and accept both proposed adjusting journal entries and footnote disclosures, along with the draft financial statements.

FINDING 2023-006 Finding Subject: Education Stabilization Fund - Reporting Summary of Finding: Management had not developed or implemented a system of internal control that would have ensured compliance with the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirement. The failure to establish an effective internal control system enabled material noncompliance to go undetected. Noncompliance with the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirement could result in the loss of future federal funds to the School Corporation. We recommended that the School Corporation's management establish internal controls to ensure compliance and comply with the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirement.
