2023-002 - Submission of ERA Compliance Reports and Final ERA 1 Closeout Report
Assistance Listing # 21.023
Emergency Rental Assistance Program
Award Year: 2023
Criteria: The U.S. Department of Treasury requires Emergency Rental Assistance Program recipients to submit
quarterly Compliance Reports and the Final Closeout Report for ERAP 1 by the submission deadline.
Condition: In 4 out of 7 instances for the year ended June 30, 2023, the County failed to submit the required reports
within the required timeframe. The County also failed to submit the Final ERAP 1 Closeout Report within the required
timeframe.
Context: We addressed the matter with County management who are aware of the reporting requirements to submit
the quarterly compliance and final closeout reports to the U.S. Treasury by the submission deadline.
Effect: Failure to properly review and adhere to the policies and procedures can lead to noncompliance and the
misappropriation of federal funds that are not detected during the normal course of business.
Cause: Management oversight.
Recommendation: We recommend the County review and update its policies and procedures to ensure all required
reports are submitted to the U.S. Treasury in a timely manner.
Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees and has developed plans to address the issue. See
Management’s Corrective Action Plan.
