Finding Text
Condition: The control deficiency exists due to two instances out of thirteen samples in which the Authority failed to properly document an instance of zero income, or did not properly calculate the tenant portion of the rent. Cause: The cause of the deficiency was related to the improper input of information into the system and the failure to obtain proper documentation of income related items in accordance with the Authority?s policies. Effect: The Authority is not in compliance with 24 CFR sections 982.516 which requires it to obtain and document in the file reported family annual income and to determine the tenant?s portion of the rent. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority communicate the income verification policy with all employees and to ensure the employees have training sufficient to comply with these policies.
