Criteria: Per HUD regulations, maintaining a fully funded security deposit account helps to ensure that management will be able to make refunds to all tenants. Effect: This resulted in the tenant security deposit account being under funded by $1,701 as of June 30, 2025. Cause: Management failed to maintain the deposit balance as required. Recommendation: We recommend that the Project take the necessary steps to fully fund the security deposit account. Auditee’s Response: The Project has taken the necessary steps to fully fund the security deposit account as of the report date.

Corrective Action Plan

A last-minute change was made between our reconciliation of security deposits and the year end. We have set up a new control of locking our accounting system once the reconciliations & reviews are completed so no additional changes can be made without management being aware.
