Finding Text
Statement of Condition: During our audit, we found the Project did not remit residual receipt balances in excess of $250 per unit to HUD by the Project Rental Assistance Contract renewal date. Criteria: Pursuant to statutory language from the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, HUD is required to recapture residual receipt balances that are in excess of $250 per unit. The fund must be remitted to HUD upon “termination” of the Project Rental Assistance Contract. Termination is defined as expiration of the contract term, which for most PRACs falls on contract renewal date. Effect of Condition: This is a violation of the HUD Regulations. Cause of Condition: The procedures in place to ensure the excess residual receipts remittance was made timely were not consistently followed. Recommendation: We recommend that management establish formal procedures to ensure excess residual receipts are returned to HUD as required. Response: See Corrective Action Plan.
