AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Organization did not deposit surplus cash into the residual receipts account by the required deadline.
  • Impacted Requirements: This failure violates HUD's Section 207 Insured Mortgage guidelines.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure timely deposits of surplus cash and obtain HUD approval for any withdrawals from the residual receipts account.

Finding Text

Criteria: In accordance with the requirements set by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development for the major program, Section 207 HUD Insured Mortgage, the Organization is obligated to deposit any surplus cash available at year-end into the residual receipts account within 60 days of the fiscal year-end (August 30th). Condition: The Organization failed to deposit surplus cash for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Effect: The Organization is noncompliant with the requirements of the Section 207 HUD Insured Mortgage. Cause: The Organization used the surplus cash at the end of the June 30, 2022 fiscal year to repay their residual receipts note rather than depositing the funds into the residual receipts account and receiving HUD approval to repay the note. Repeat finding: This is not a repeat finding. Context: The deposit was required to be made into the residual receipts account within 60-days of year-end. No deposit was made. Recommendation: We recommend that management makes the required residual receipts deposit timely when surplus cash is available at year-end. Proper HUD approvals should then be obtained for any withdrawals from the residual receipts account. Management response: Management agrees with this finding. See Corrective Action Plan.

Corrective Action Plan

Residual receipts were not remitted to the residual receipts account after year-end. Any surplus cash is required to be remitted to the residual receipts account subsequent to year-end. Going forward, all surplus cash available at year-end will be deposited into the residual receipts account.
