Basis for Qualified Opinion on Section 8 Rent Subsidies (CFDA 14.195) Due to the unexpected and global impact on the ability to perform business as usual due to the widespread pervasion of COVID-19, we were unable to apply all procedures necessary in order to form an opinion on compliance for this major federal program. This scope limitation was in no way caused by management of the Organization, but rather, was a direct consequence of governmentally issued social distancing guidelines which preclude us from visiting the Cooperative in order to physically review tenant files. Qualified Opinion on Section 8 Rent Subsidies (CFDA 14.195) In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion on Section 8 Rent Subsidies (CFDA 14.195) paragraph, the Organization complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on Section 8 Rent Subsidies (CFDA 14.195) for the year ended June 30, 2020.

MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONQUESTIONED COSTS

During the year ended June 30, 2019, total management fees paid were higher than the per unit per month maximum allowed amount as outlined on the HUD approved Management Agent?s Certification. Criteria: Payment of management fees must be based on the lower of the calculated rate or the per unit per month maximum amount. Effect: Management fees were overpaid during the year ended June 30, 2019. Context: A calculation was performed to determine the total amount of allowable management fees for the year as outlined by the HUD approved Management Agent?s Certification. The calculation found that management fees were overpaid by $82,165. Cause: Procedures are in place for supervisory review of the calculation and payment of management fees, but due to the approved rent increase by HUD, the per unit per month cap on management fees was not taken into account when the calculation was completed and the total amount paid in management fees was $82,165 higher than the maximum allowed amount. Recommendation: Management should submit a revised Management Agent?s Certification to HUD that requests a retroactive recalculation of the per unit per month rate to account for the rent increase approved by HUD. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: United Winthrop Tower Cooperative agrees with the finding and the auditor?s recommendations will be followed.
