Corrective Action Plan

Finding 2022-02: Late Submission of Financial Statements to FAC and REAC (Significant Deficiency) Corrective Action Plan: Lack of leadership and structure within the Finance department along with the ripple effects from a previous waiver submission requirement under COVID for delayed audit submissions lead to missed deadlines for the delivery of the financial statements to REAC. To remedy this finding, RRHA’s new CFO has implemented an earlier internal deadline for Unaudited FDS submissions. RRHA’s Unaudited FDS is due November 30th. However, the new internal deadline date will be scheduled before Thanksgiving each year. We will also work with our auditors to establish an audit schedule that will allow us to submit the Audited FDS prior to the June 30th deadline. Name of Responsible Person: Precious Washington, Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer Expected Completion Date: September 30, 2024
