Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Title: Housing Voucher Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 14.871 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: LA003, 2022 Award Period: 10/1/21-9/30/22 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Criteria or Specific Requirement: HUD-50058, Family Report (OMB No. 2577-0083) ? The PHA is required to submit this form electronically to HUD each time the PHA completes an admission, annual reexamination, interim reexamination, portability move-in, or other change of unit for a family. The PHA must also submit the Family Report when a family ends participation in the program or moves out of the PHA?s jurisdiction under portability (24 CFR Part 908 and 24 CFR section 982.158). Condition: During testing, it was noted that the Authority did not have adequate internal controls designed to ensure compliance with reporting requirements regarding submissions of HUD-50058?s into the PIC system for 5 out of 40 files tested. Questioned Costs: Unable to determine. Context: During testing of a sample of 40 HUD 50058 forms, it was noted that 5 files did not comply with compliance requirements. The sample was a statistically valid sample. ? 5 HUD-50058 forms were not submitted into the PIC system Cause: The Authority did not have internal controls to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements over submitting the required forms into the PIC system. Effect: The Authority is not in compliance with federal regulations regarding the submission of the HUD-50058 to PIC. The inaccurate data could potentially effect determination of HAP funding. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority reviews their standard procedures to ensure the proper forms are submitted to the PIC system. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
