Auditee’s Response and Planned Corrective Action Upon notification of the FYE June 30, 2024, audit deficiency, the NHA Executive Director immediately implemented a file checklist system for annual and interim recertifications for ALL client files. The checklist clearly presents income calculations – clearly identifying all income sources to include paystubs, award letters and 3rd party authentic documents, bank statements and EIV as income verifications and noting all qualified minor child and medical expenses utilized to determine accurate calculations of annual and monthly adjusted income. The NHA Executive Director also reviewed the files in question (along with randomly selected files) to assure the accuracy of Housing Assistance Payment calculations. HCV staff attended a recent training course for the recertification process on Wednesday February 5, 2025.
