Questioned costs: $2,480
Statement of condition 2025-001: During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Corporation paid management fees of $2,480 in excess of amount approved by HUD.
Criteria: The HUD approved management agent certification (Form HUD-9839-B) provides for the payment of management fees equal to 5.93% of residential and miscellaneous income collected.
Effect: The Corporation is not in compliance with the HUD approved management agent certification and Section 202 Regulatory Agreement.
Cause: The Agent inadvertently charged a management fee percentage of 7.52% instead of 5.93% of cash collections and miscellaneous income collected.
Recommendation: The Agent should review the percentage fee used for management fees on a monthly basis to ensure there were no changes to the management certifications (Form HUD-9839-B). Additionally, the Agent should reimburse the Corporation $2,480 for the overpaid management fees.
Management's response: Management concurs with the recommendation.
