AI Summary

  • Core Issue: HUD program funds are being improperly used to support another program, resulting in over $42,000 in inter-program transactions.
  • Impacted Requirements: There is a lack of internal controls to detect this non-compliance, which is critical for proper fund management.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Establish robust internal controls to prevent future misuse of HUD funds and address the growing inter-program balances.

Finding Text

HUD program funds cannot be used to support or supplement another program. The Authority has inter-program payable and receivable in excess of $42,000 at year end between the two affected activities as shown of the attached FDS (Lines 144 and 347). Amounts in the subsequent year are nearly double those at year end. Internal control to detect the non-compliance issue has not been established.
