Organization Response: Management acknowledges the auditors’ comments, with the clarification below, and has taken the actions listed below. The overstatement noted in this finding was a misstatement. The omission noted in this finding references funds received from state and county agencies. Therefore, the funds were recorded consistent with the information and documentation provided by the pass-through entity (Cascade County) which did not clearly identify the original funding source as the federal entity. To ensure internal controls over funding sources and expense reporting, the grant award and processing policy has been reviewed and updated to include due diligence of original funding sources.

Finding 2024-003, Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance. Condition: The property management failed to make the required monthly reserve deposits for the period of July 2023 to June 2024. Criteria: According to HUD Section 811 regulations, properties must make monthly reserve deposits to ensure financial stability and ongoing maintenance. Cause: The failure was due to deficiencies in the internal controls within the management process related to the monthly deposits. Effect: The failure to make these deposits could jeopardize the financial health of the property and its ability to meet future maintenance needs. Recommendation: The auditor recommended that the property management implement internal controls to ensure monthly reserve deposits are made as required by HUD Section 811 regulations.

Finding 2024-001, Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Condition: The design of the Project’s internal controls precludes certain segregation of duties and other designs of internal controls. Criteria: Proper design of the Project’s internal controls to include segregation of duties and other designs of internal controls. Cause: The size of The Project’s accounting and administrative staff precludes certain segregation of duties and other designs of internal controls that would be preferred if the office staff were larger. Effect: The segregation of duties and other designs of internal controls are limited. Recommendation: The auditor recommended that management and Project governance review their procedures and develop processes to address deficiencies in the segregation of duties and other designs of internal controls. Increased involvement of the Board of Directors in the financial affairs of the Project would provide oversight and independent review functions, thereby lessening the severity of the deficiencies. Responsible Person: Brittany Colson, Manager Planned Action: The Project agrees with the finding and the auditor’s recommendations will be adopted. Anticipated completion date: The recommendation will be applied in fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

Finding 2024-004 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster, Public and Indian Housing Program, Public Housing Capital Fund Program, and Coronavirus Relief Fund Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879, 14.850, 14.872, and 21.019 Material Noncompliance Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria: The Authority must maintain complete and accurate accounts and other records for the program in accordance with HUD compliance requirements. Condition: The Authority did not maintain complete and accurate accounts and other records in accordance with HUD compliance requirements regarding Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, Eligibility, Reporting, and Special Tests and Provisions. Context: The Authority was unable to provide requested documentation at the time of audit to properly test the HUD compliance requirements. Known Questioned Costs: Unknown Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files, wait lists, inspection reports and other records. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster and Public and Indian Housing Program are in material non- compliance with the compliance requirements of the program. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority implement a process whereby Authority documents are stored and safeguarded to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: The Authority experienced significant turnover in employees during the year and as a result certain source documents were misplaced or destroyed. Management agrees with the Auditors' finding and has hired a new Executive Director who will implement the required safeguards and ensure that the Authority follows its internal control over compliance processes and procedures related to the Housing Voucher Cluster, Public and Indian Housing Program and Public Housing Capital fund Program to remedy the aforementioned deficiencies. Bryant McClellan, CFO, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by December 31, 2025.
