FINDING—FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
2023-001 Community Development Block Grant - Assistance Listing Number 14.218
Recommendation: We recommend the City enhance internal controls and procedures to comply with all
FFATA reporting requirements.
Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
Action taken in response to finding: Some FFATA reports were not entered timely into FSRS in FY 23.
This was due to an incomplete understanding about the requirement as well as no FFATA reporting
requests by the federal granting agency (HUD) to the City. All required FFATA reports were entered into
the FSRS after the deadlines, and City staff responsible for FFATA reporting have completed additional
training on the requirements. We do not anticipate untimely reports to the FSRS in the future.
Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Elise Annunziata, Community
Development Director
Planned completion date for corrective action plan: All required FFATA reports were already
entered into the FSRS, and City staff responsible for FFATA reporting have completed additional training
on the requirements. We do not anticipate untimely reports to the FSRS in the future.
