Activities Allowed or Unallowed
MATERIAL WEAKNESS

The Executive Director is the only individual responsible for reviewing/approving disbursements as well as authorizing payments. No other individual reviews the costs prior to payment to ensure that they are in fact allowable. There is not enough staff to support proper segregation of duties. Criteria: Per the HUD Nonprofit audit guide, section A. Activities Allowed or Unallowed states that this ?requirement specifies the activities that can or cannot be funded under a specific program and almost always applies to federal programs. The specific requirements for activities allowed or unallowed are unique to each federal program and are found in the federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award pertaining to the program.? Cause: Lack of employees or additional oversight by Board of Directors. Effect or Potential Effect: Use of project funds for unallowable costs. Recommendation: As there are some offsetting controls in place that provide for limited segregation of duties and due to the limited financial resources of the Corporation, management has determined that it is not practical at this time to hire additional employees. Monthly financial reports detailing all cash transactions are currently sent to the board of directors, but a formal signoff should be instituted. Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: Sonata Housing, Inc. has reviewed the cost/benefit of additional staff and has concluded that they do not have the resources at this time to hire additional staff and achieve segregation of duties.
