Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance ? Other Matters Criteria or Specific Requirement:: HUD-50058, Family Report (OMB No. 2577-0083) ? The PHA is required to submit this form electronically to HUD each time the PHA completes an admission, annual reexamination, interim reexamination, portability move-in, or other change of unit for a family. The PHA must also submit the Family Report when a family ends participation in the program or moves out of the PHA?s jurisdiction under portability (24 CFR Part 908 and 24 CFR section 982.158). Condition: During our testing, we noted the Authority did not have adequate internal controls designed to ensure that special reporting requirements were being met.

Effect: The Authority is not in compliance with program requirements over special reporting.
