Finding Text

Criteria: In accordance with regulatory agreements under the HUD Consolidated Audit Guide, residual receipts from the operation should be deposited to the residual receipts reserve account within 90 days from year-end. Condition: The Project did not deposit the residual receipts from fiscal year 2022 into the reserve account. Effect: Advanced Living Inc.'s Schwenckfeld Manor may lose its federal assistance if does not comply with the deposit requirements under regulatory agreements. Cause: Management of Advanced Living Inc.'s Schwenckfeld Manor did not monitor the timely deposit of residual receipts. Questioned Costs: The Project had the residual receipts of $153,831 as calculated on the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2022. Recommendation: The Project should more closely monitor its timely deposit of residual receipts as required by the regulatory agreement. Management's Response: This issue was also raised last year. Management had asked HUD for guidance but it was not officially addressed. Management made the same request this year and HUD is looking into the possibility of using the residual receipts to pay the owner advance off. As of today, management has not received definitive guidance. Management will follow the recommendation received from HUD.
