Current Findings on the Schedule of Findings, Questioned Costs, and Recommendations. 1. Finding 2022-001 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811) ? CFDA 14.181; Grant period ? Year ended June 30, 2022 a. Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation. Statement of Condition: Security deposits were not placed into a segregated account. Criteria: The HUD Handbook 4350.3 Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs requires that the owner must place security deposits in a segregated, interest bearing-account, the balance of which must at all times be equal to the total amount collected from the eligible family plus any accrued interest. Cause: The Project?s sponsor and management company experienced turnover in their accounting department during the year which caused a shift in assigned duties and responsibilities. During that shift in assigned duties there was a lapse in assigned responsibility for the transfer of security deposits. Effect of Condition: This condition resulted in required deposits not being transferred to a segregated account causing the balance to be unequal to the amount collected from the eligible family. Recommendation: We recommend that the Project?s sponsor verify, on a monthly basis, the required security deposit asset and liability account equal. b. Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding 1. The Project?s sponsor is aware of the requirement to move eligible family deposits into a segregated account and are working with new accounting staff to ensure that the proper transfers are completed in the future. 2. In September 2022, the security deposits were transferred to a segregated account equaling the amount collected from the eligible family.
