Corrective Action Plan

INTRODUCTION: The last three years have been challenging to the FRHA on many fronts. There were vacancies in several key executive management positions, the Executive Director abruptly retired, and particularly the Director of Finance position had seen three people serve in that role. There was also the COVID-19 pandemic, where key staff people were absent, or working remotely as labor laws were relaxed. Emergency Contracts were issued with many of the formal bidding policies and procedures being forgiven, making it more difficult on internal controls over financial reporting. REMEDY: Stability has been restored with the hiring of a new Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director along with the Director of Finance position. The FRHA is working closely with HUD and DHCD officials, in setting up automated reminders of all Financial Reporting Deliverables to all key personnel. The Executive Director is also meeting bi-monthly with all FRHA Financial team members to review monthly financial requirements. The Executive Director is further forging a stronger professional relationship with the FRHA Fee Accountants and Auditors to establish better communication on all Financial Controls.
