Box 727 Morristown, Tennessee 37815 Audit period: October 1, 2022 - September 30, 2023 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Section A of the schedule, Summary of Audit Results, does not include findings and is not addressed. FINDINGS – FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT None FINDINGS – FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS Finding No. 2023 – 001: Failure to remit excess residual receipts to HUD by the date required, ALN #14.157 The Project did not remit excess residual receipts in the amount of $731 to HUD by the date required. Criteria: Excess residual receipts are required to be remitted to HUD by the PRAC renewal of expiration date. Cause of Condition: The management agent did not have systems in place to ensure timely remittance of the excess residual receipts funds. Recommendation: Auditor recommends management remit the excess residual receipts in the amount of $731 to HUD and implement systems to ensure future excess residual receipts are either remitted to HUD or requested to be withdrawn for approved expenses no later than the respective PRAC renewal or expiration date. Action Taken: Excess residual receipts in the amount of $731 have been remitted to HUD. The Program Director and Assistant Program Director will track any excess residual receipts that need to be remitted against the contract renewal date. If the Accounting Manager has not remitted the funds or has not submitted a request to withdraw the funds for an approved expense before the Project’s contract renewal submission is due (120 days before the contract renewal date), the Program Director or Assistant Program Director will ensure the Form HUD-9250 to remit the excess residual receipts to HUD is submitted at that time. If the Department of Housing and Urban Development has questions regarding this plan, please call Megan Barnard at 423-587-4500. Sincerely yours, Megan Barnard Executive Director Douglas-Cherokee Economic Authority, Inc.
