CONDITION: During 2025, we noted account reconciliations and approvals over financial information were not performed timely which resulted in a significant number of post-closing adjustments provided by management in order to report the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, including adjustments to properly record transactions between CHN and its affiliated entities. Procedures were not in place to ensure timely reconciliations and review of the general ledgers, journal entries, and reporting to third parties. CRITERIA: Systems and procedures should provide for reconciliation and review of general ledger accounts to occur on a timely basis to allow for accurate and timely preparation of financial and compliance reports.CAUSE: Systems and procedures were not in place to ensure general ledger accounts were reconciled and reports were filed timely to third parties.EFFECT: As adequate procedures were not in place to ensure timely reconciliation and review of general ledger accounts, there is a potential that financial reports, including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, will be misstated and not filed accurately to third parties. RECOMMENDATION: Systems and procedures should be established by management to allow for timely reconciliation and review of general ledger accounts.

Corrective Action Plan

An incorrect assistance number was mistakenly entered on the schedule of federal expenditures leading to a transposition of award dollars between accounts. While the total dollars on the schedule of federal expenditures reflected accurately, the individual balance for one account was incorrectly listed. This error coincided with staffing changes and management believes this was an isolated error that will not be recurring. Going forward CHN Housing Partners and Affiliates will ensure that the schedule of federal expenditure award numbers are keyed correctly through secondary review.

In response to this capacity issue, in 2021, CHN Housing Partners and Affiliates hired additional accounting personnel. In 2022, CHN Housing Partners and Affiliates experienced turnover in their accounting department and replacements were not hired until 2023. CHN Housing Partners and Affiliates will continue to analyze the needs of the accounting department to ensure the timely reconciliation of the general ledger and reporting to third parties.
