Management concurs with this finding. Maintaining complete and accurate receipt documentation is essential for ensuring proper expense coding, supporting auditability, and maintaining compliance with organizational policies and funding requirements. Upon identification of this exception, management initiated corrective actions to reinforce our internal controls over receipt retention and documentation. Accounting staff have been re-trained on our receipt-tracking procedures, with an emphasis on the requirement that receipts must be obtained and retained for all meal expenses. We will continue to monitor compliance with these updated procedures to ensure their effectiveness. The anticipated completion date for this corrective action is 11/1/2025.

Management agrees with this finding. Upon identification of the issue, we initiated immediate corrective actions to reinforce our internal control environment and ensure full compliance with our cash disbursement approval policy. We have completed re-training for all accounting staff to reaffirm the requirements of our payment approval policy and to emphasize the importance of verifying documented approval prior to processing any invoice, regardless of the payment method (check, automated withdrawals, or portals). Additionally, management has implemented a system upgrade, transitioning from a manual approval workflow to an automated approval process. This upgraded system is designed to require approval before an invoice can proceed to payment, thereby preventing invoices from being disbursed without documented written authorization. We expect this automated control to significantly reduce the risk of future exceptions and strengthen overall compliance. Management will continue to monitor disbursement activity to ensure ongoing adherence to policy and the effectiveness of the new control measures. The anticipated completion date for this corrective action is 11/1/2025.

The finding from the September 30, 2025 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. The City of Pensacola Housing Department’s direct action in response to the finding is to meet with the Housing Placement Specialists to discuss the finding, review Pensacola Housing’s Administrative Plan and 24 CFR 982.516, clarify the proper procedures for accepting self-declared income, and monitoring for ongoing compliance. Program Manager Nicole Louie will randomly select files from each Housing Placement Specialist’s caseload to complete a quality control review over the next 60 days to ensure proper income-verification procedures are followed. In addition, SEMAP (Section 8 Management Assessment Program) quality control is conducted quarterly by the Housing Office Coordinator as part of the self-scoring assessment submitted to HUD. Any non-compliance identified during the SEMAP quarterly review will be brought to the attention of the Section 8 Program Manager and the Housing Placement Specialist. Name of Contact Person for Completing Corrective Action Plan: Nicole Louie, Program Manager 850-858-0316 nlouie@cityofpensacola.com Expected date of completion is April 30, 2026 FINDING 2025-001 During the review of 40 tenant files, there were three instances a tenant file did not document why third-party income verification was not utilized. After review, the Housing Placement Specialists calculated the income correctly, and there was no resulting over subsidy. However, their notation regarding the acceptance of self-declared income was not captured electronically in the Housing Pro software. Prior to transitioning to electronic files, such notations were documented in the physical file. Moving forward, Housing Eligibility Specialists will be required to record all notes regarding self-declared income directly in the Housing Pro software.

SEFA expense overstatement originated from a misunderstanding of how to categorize COVID funds. Due to program staffing changes since 2021, it took several inquiries to verify that funds originally categorized as Federal and included on the schedule, were done so in error. It was through an abundance of caution that the agency chose to include the funds on the schedule. The thought was it would be better to include than not. This will not be an issue in the future as we have adjusted our grant and project tracking systems to tag transactions that are attached to our funding types. Program and accounting staff work together to verify that information at least quarterly and better tracking systems now exist through the agency’s use of OneDrive, Teams and other centralized Microsoft filing tools. We have also increased communication between the programs, contracts unite, and finance team.

Recommendation We recommend the District implement documented daily edit checks reconciling meal counts to attendance records and maintain records of this review. For food inventory, the District should establish a formal inventory system, including perpetual inventory records, monthly physical counts, and supervisory review. Staff involved in Child Nutrition operations should receive training on USDA and federal compliance requirements Management Response Corrective Action The Food Service Director will implement the federally required daily edit check process. This will include comparing daily meal counts against the attendance and enrollment figures to ensure that claims do not exceed the number of students present. Any discrepancies identified during this process will be investigated and documented prior to submission of the monthly claim. The District will also change the tracking of meals served by using an official meal tracking device or by having students use their badge/ID cards to get a more accurate meal count each day. The District has a formal inventory process for all food service supplies including canned goods, dry goods, and freezer items. This system tracks items from receipt through consumption.
