Finding Text
2022-001 HCVP Eligibility (Continued) Condition: During our testing, we noted the Authority did not have adequate internal controls designed to ensure that eligibility requirements were being met. Questioned Costs: Unknown Context: Out of 60 tenants tested, we noted 10 instances where there was a difference between the third-party verification and what was reported on the HUD-50058, all of which could have a potential impact on the housing assistance payments (HAP) calculation. Our sample was a statistically valid sample. ? 7 instances of missing third-party verification information of income. ? 4 instances of missing or incorrect verification of deductions/exclusions Cause: The Authority does not have controls in place to ensure it is meeting all eligibility requirements set by HUD. Effect: The Authority is not in compliance with program requirements over eligibility. The instances above could impact the HAP calculation. Effect: This finding is a repeat finding in the immediate prior year. Prior year finding number was 2021-003. Recommendation: The Authority should implement processes to ensure that all documentation is received and that the correct inputs are being accurately reported on the HUD-50058. View of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.
