Further, the Corporation is required to submit an owner-certified submission of the audited financial statements to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC filing) which is due on March 31, 2026. Condition: During our audit, we noted that the DCF for the reporting period ended June 30, 2025 was not filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse timely. Further, the REAC filing to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development was also not timely submitted. Cause: Due to the timing of the annual financial statements being completed, the Corporation could not submit the DCF and REAC filing by the required timeline. Effect: The Corporation not submitting the DCF and REAC filing timely could affect future funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Questioned Costs: None noted. Context: This was a condition noted per review of the Corporation’s compliance with the reporting requirements. Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding from prior year. This was reported as finding 2024-001 in the 2024 report. Recommendation: We recommend that the Corporation submit the DCF and REAC filing timely. Views of Responsible Officials: The Corporation acknowledges that the 2025 data collection form and REAC filing were not filed timely. The Corporation plans to file the data collection form and REAC filing upon issuance of the Uniform Guidance financial statements and ensure that future data collection forms and REAC filing are submitted timely.
