Management Response: Feeding South Florida complied with LFPA contract provisions for food purchases by meeting and invoicing the required food purchase minimum. Freight was an allowable cost for the contract. Despite miscategorizing 5 freight invoices, Feeding South Florida complied with the LFPA contract for freight by meeting and invoicing the total amount allowable for freight. To ensure ongoing compliance, we established and implemented a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for all contracts and grants, including the LFPA program, which has been consistently followed since LFPA Plus began. To strengthen oversight and enhance audit readiness, administrative responsibility for this contract has transitioned from the Grants Department to the Finance Department. This restructuring reinforces our compliance framework, improves operational support, and embeds stronger accountability measures across all organizational levels and throughout our region.

Known Questioned Costs: Moving to Work Demonstration Program - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program: $4,000 Housing Voucher Cluster: $9,268 Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS inspections.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Moving to Work Demonstration Program - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers & Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.881, 14.871, 14.879, 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Housing Quality Standards (HQS) & HQS Enforcement Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: HQS & HQS Enforcement. For units under HAP contract that fail to meet HQS, the PHA must require the owner to correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours after the inspections and all other deficiencies within 30 days or within a specified PHA-approved extension. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussion with management, the Authority did not properly abate or provide proper extension documentation for failed inspections selected for testing. In addition, there were inspection reports that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: The Authority did not properly abate thirteen (13) out of twenty-five (25) annual failed inspections selected for testing in the Moving to Work Demonstration Program - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program. As a result, the Authority was not in compliance with the HQS as required by 24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b). The Authority did not properly abate one (1) out of two (2) annual failed inspections selected for testing in the Housing Voucher Cluster. Additionally, the Authority was unable to provide inspection reports for 2 (two) out of 2 (two) failed inspections selected for testing, therefore we were unable to determine if the unit passed reinspection within the required time in the Housing Voucher Cluster. As a result, the Authority was not in compliance with the HQS as required by 24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b). Known Questioned Costs: Moving to Work Demonstration Program - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program: $22,500 Housing Voucher Cluster: $6,940 Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over the compliance in the Moving to Work Demonstration - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program and the Housing Voucher Cluster for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Moving to Work Demonstration - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program and Housing Voucher Cluster are in material non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to HQS enforcement. Auditors' Recommendation: We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement related to HQS enforcement. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor regarding HQS inspections and has made arrangements to comply with the Moving to Work Demonstration - Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers program. Noelle Tackett, Director of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by December 31, 2025.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879, 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – Depository Agreements Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: PHAs are required to enter into general depository agreements (GDA) with their financial institutions in the form required by HUD. The agreements serve as safeguards for federal funds and provide third party rights to HUD. Among the terms in many agreements are requirements for funds to be placed in an interest-bearing account (24 CFR section 982.156). Condition: Based on inspection of files and discussions with management, it was determined that the depository agreements were signed after the reporting period. Context: The Authority did not have signed depository agreements with their financial institutions on file during the reporting period, therefore we were unable to verify the existence of depository agreements and unable to determine if the Authority met the terms of the agreements. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance for the special tests and provision type of compliance related to depository agreements. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls for their partnered management company that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster is in noncompliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to depository agreements. Auditors' Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority properly file HUD-51999 forms in accordance with HUD guidelines. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: The Authority accepts the recommendation of the auditor and will properly file HUD- 51999 forms in accordance with HUD guidelines.

Calendar Controls: Add both the audit and DCF submission deadlines to our compliance calendar and set automated reminders so these dates cannot be missed. Cross-Training: Ensure at least two team members are fully trained on audit preparation and the DCF process, so the work continues smoothly even during staffing gaps or transitions. Document Access: House all required audit and financial documents in a secure, shared folder (e.g., SharePoint) that the finance team can access at any time. This should reduce the time it takes to seek files. Proactive External Support: Engage our audit firm earlier in the fiscal year to prevent last-minute bottlenecks and keep the flow of information moving. Responsible Party: CFO Monitoring: CEO will confirm timely DCF submission each year.

Finding 2024-004 Repeat Finding 2023-005 ALNo.: Program Title: Federal Agency: Pass-Through Agencies: Award Number/Year 93.667 Social Services Block Grant U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Wisconsin Department of Children and Families and Wisconsin Department of Health Services 561,3561,3681 /2023 Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires that local entities receiving federal awards establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with laws, regulations and program compliance requirements. The Uniform Guidance further requires auditors to obtain an understanding of the local entity's internal control over federal programs. To minimize the risks of errors, internal controls should be in place for all program compliance requirements, including the approval and submission of reports by appropriate individuals. Condition/Context: There were 13 reports for submission for UCS and 26 reports for the County. Nine reports were selected for testing. There was no documentation of a review control by someone independent of the preparer for all nine reports tested. Our sample was not statistically valid. Cause: The County did not have procedures in place requiring an independent person to review the reports before submission. Questioned Costs: None noted. Effect: Due to a lack of controls it was noted that the County did not capture the full value of their contract which resulted in a possible loss of approximately $174,350 in funding. Other reports without review could contain errors. Recommendation: We recommend that the County implement procedures for management to review reports required to be completed under the grant prior to submission. Corrective Action Planned: Angela Runde and Cody Blindert continued to work on the development of the Grant Manager module of Tyler MUNIS. In 2025 it was reviewed with the Department Heads, Kessa Klaas, Cece Fink and Lori Reid as to their responsibility to review each filing for completeness and accuracy before filing. Patrick Montgomery will review before final submission. Anticipated Completion Date 3/1/2026.
