Management has strengthened its recordkeeping practices to ensure that all revenues are fully supported by appropriate source documentation and are readily available for audit, monitoring, and financial reporting purposes. The Finance Director has conducted a review of current revenue documentation procedures to identify any gaps in record retention and establish standardized filing requirements for all revenue sources, including tenant rent, HUD operating subsidies, Capital Fund reimbursements, Housing Assistance Payments (HAP), administrative fees, miscellaneous income, grant revenues, and other receipts.

Finding #2025-003 – Material Weakness and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants, Assistance Listing #14.251, Contract Number: В-23-СР-TX-1411, Contract Year: 02/15/24 – 08/31/31. Condition and context: During our testing of a sample of 3 expenditures requiring procurement, we identified one vendor exceeding $350,000 for which proper procurement procedures were not followed as Target Hunger did not issue a public notice. Additionally, Target Hunger's procurement policy does not address formal procurement methods for purchases exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. Recommendation: Revise Target Hunger’s procurement policy to include procedures for formal procurement for purchases exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Planned corrective action: Target Hunger is revising its procurement policy to include procedures for formal procurement for purchases exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold in accordance with the Uniform Guidance that includes the issuance of a public notice. While a public notice was not issued for this procurement, Target Hunger undertook efforts intended to obtain fair and competitive proposals. These efforts included soliciting referrals from its Capital Spending and Facilities Committee and issuing requests for proposals to multiple (six) general contractors identified through committee members and the project manager. Target Hunger also sought clarification regarding procurement requirements from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; however, no response was received. The corrective actions described above are intended to address this deficiency and ensure future procurements are conducted in full compliance with applicable federal requirements. Responsible officer: Sandra Wicoff, Chief Executive Officer. Estimated completion date: July 2026.

Identifying Number: 2025-001 Finding: Untimely Submission of the 2025 Single Audit Reporting Package Corrective Action Plan: The Cooperative acknowledges the finding regarding the untimely submission of the Single Audit reporting package. The delay was attributable to circumstances outside of the Cooperative's control, specifically delays in the completion of the audit by the independent auditors. Nevertheless, the Cooperative recognizes its responsibility for ensuring compliance with federal reporting requirements. To reduce the risk of future delays, the Cooperative will enhance communication and monitoring procedures with its independent auditors throughout the audit process. Management will establish interim status meetings, monitor key audit milestones, and request periodic updates on the auditors' progress to identify and address potential delays as early as possible. In addition, the Cooperative will document these monitoring efforts and maintain a timeline of critical reporting deadlines. Management believes these measures will strengthen oversight of the audit process and help ensure the timely submission of all required elements of the Single Audit reporting package. Completion Date: December 31, 2026

Finding 2025-004: Significant Deficiency - Special Tests and Provisions Repeat of Prior Year Finding 2024-005 Condition: While documentation exists that a background investigation was completed, no documentation was maintained that the results of the background investigation were compared to the employment application or that a suitability determination was conducted by an appropriate adjudicating official who herself/himself was the subject of a favorable background investigation.
