Finding Text
Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Name: Supportive Housing for Elderly Persons Assistance Listing Number: 14.155 Award Period: August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: Per HUD requirements Surplus Cash calculated in the prior year must be deposited into a separate residual receipts account within 90 days of year end. Condition: During our testing, we noted that Abundant Life of Perrysburg failed to make the required deposit of surplus cash that was calculated in the 2024 audited financial statements within the 90-day time frame prescribed by HUD. Questioned costs: None Context: Due to receiving an authorized HUD withdrawal from the Reserve for Replacement account in July of 2024 the entity ended the year with surplus cash, the entity had been prudent in calculating potential surplus cash in June of 2024; however, the timing of the transfer from the Reserve for Replacement account into the operating account resulted in the out of the ordinary cash increase. Cause: The entity did not recalculate surplus cash at year end resulting in the late payment of the surplus cash to residual receipts. Effect: The residual receipts account is not in compliance with HUD Residual Receipts Provisions and is underfunded. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that Abundant Life of Perrysburg design and implement controls to prevent non-compliance with HUD requirements surrounding surplus cash deposits such as recalculating surplus cash at the end of the year after all transactions have been posted.
