REPEAT

The City’s grant administrator is responsible for preparing and submitting the required quarterly and annual Section 3 reports to the Texas General Land Office on behalf of the City. However, there is no documentation demonstrating that City management reviews or approves these reports prior to and after submission. Cause: The City has not established procedures requiring City management to review and document approval of the Section 3 reports prepared and submitted to the Texas General Land Office. Effect: Without documentation of City management review and approval of the Section 3 reports prepared and submitted by the grant administrator, there is an increased risk that reports submitted to the passthrough entity may be inaccurate, incomplete, or not fully compliant with federal reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None noted. Repeat Finding: This finding is related to the prior year finding 2024-002. Recommendation: The City should strengthen internal controls over federal reporting by establishing and documenting procedures to ensure City management reviews and approves all Section 3 reports prepared and submitted by the grant administrator. Evidence of this review, such as sign-offs or approval correspondence, should be retained in the grant files to demonstrate compliance with Uniform Guidance and HUD Section 3 reporting requirements. View of Responsible Officials: Management concurs with the recommendation. Please refer to the Corrective Action Plan for additional details.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding 2025-002: Insufficient Documentation of Management Review of Section 3 Quarterly and Annual Reporting Planned Corrective Action: Management concurs with the finding. Although the related grant concluded during fiscal year 2025, the City will implement procedures to ensure that future federal program reports, including any applicable Section 3 or similar compliance reports, are subject to documented management review and approval prior to submission. The procedures will require the preparer to provide each report and supporting documentation to City management for review, and evidence of approval, such as a signed review checklist, email approval, or electronic sign-off, will be retained in the grant files. The City Secretary will be responsible for ensuring that documented review and approval procedures are applied to future federal reporting requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: July 2026
