Finding Text

Criteria or Specific Requirement: The HRA is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over submission of form HUD-50058 annually for each tenant. Condition: During report testing, it was noted that form HUD-50058 was not submitted as required. Questioned Costs: None Context: 1 of 21 tenant files tested did not have support that the HUD-50058 was submitted as required. Cause: Oversight by those preparing and submitting the form. Effect: The potential exists that the HRA is not reimbursed for the HAP payments made related to the tenant tested.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and will continue to evaluate its processes to determine if additional procedures need to be implemented.
