Lee Elderly Housing Corporation

Criteria Under the Uniform Guidance Special Test requirements, the Project is required to maintain sufficient internal controls to ensure compliance with special tests. Condition During our audit procedures we noted that there are weaknesses in internal controls over replacement reserve and residual receipts accounts. There is no documentation of these accounts being reviewed by management. Cause of Condition The Project didn’t have adequate controls in place to ensure that replacement reserve and residual receipts required deposits are made in accordance with the Uniform Guidance requirements. Effect If the control process is not documented, it is not possible to determine if the controls are designed and applied consistently. The inadequate documentation of the components of internal controls could result in an inability to appropriately monitor the effectiveness of the internal controls. Questioned Costs: None Identification as a Repeat Finding, if applicable – No Recommendation We recommend that management implement a process to document formal review and approvals of replacement reserve and residual receipts accounts. Management’s Response Please see Project’s Corrective Action Plan included in this reporting package.

Planned Corrective Action: Monthly bank reconciliations and journal entries are completed by staff accountants and reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer. Historically, this process has not been documented as files are retained electronically and our accounting software, Resman, does not offer the functionality of in-system approvals. In 2025, we will implement a control to document this review process. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: Fiscal year ending 2025, we will implement a control to document this review process. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Chief Financial Officer
