Finding 2022-001: Tenant Rents Material Weakness Criteria: The Housing Authority is responsible for calculating the tenant?s rents based on the tenant?s adjusted annual income and for verifying the tenant?s annual income. Condition: During the audit we noted that one tenant?s file was not updated completely since December, 2018. This resulted in improper tenant charges during the year. Cause: The Housing Authority did not maintain the tenant?s file since initially being in the program and were not updating the recertification and rent amounts. Effect or Potential Effect: Some tenant files were not maintained leading to inaccurate tenant rents. Recommendation: The Housing Authority should have another employee review the tenant?s file and verify that the tenant?s file being properly maintained and that the tenant?s rent is calculated properly. The employee reviewing the files should be someone other than the employee performing the recertification.
