Finding: Late Filing of Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (Repeat Finding 2021,002, 2020-002) • The corrective actions implemented in FY 2022: Extraordinary circumstances beyond ANHA control.

ANHA completed the FY2019 audit during this time, however the auditor's subsequent schedule was limited due to infections in their staff. 1. ANHA has scheduled subsequent audits to comply with the Uniform Guidance. 2. ANHA staff and independent audit staff are now healthy since the COVID shutdown. ANHA has a scheduled plan to get audits into the clearing house timely.

Eligibility
MODIFIED OPINIONSIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2018-004

During our testing over eligibility, using a statistically valid sample, we reviewed 25 tenant files and noted the following exceptions: ? No demonstration of review and approval of annual income verification for 22 low rent tenants and three mutual help homebuyers ? Rent appeared miscalculated for two low rent tenants and no supporting documentation of rent calculation was provided for three mutual help homebuyers ? No indication that annual inspections had been completed for one low rent tenant and three mutual help homebuyers Questioned Costs: None noted. Criteria: The Compliance Supplement for the Indian Housing Block Grant states that each recipient should develop written policies governing the eligibility, admission, and occupancy of families for housing assisted with grant funds (25 USC 4133(d)). The Authority?s policies state that eligibility will be determined based on household income and will be verified annually. Their policies also state that annual inspections will be performed for each occupant. Cause: Lack of file review and management oversight may have led to this finding. In addition, it appears that the Authority was not following their policies related to timely and accurate completion of annual inspections. Effect: Program participants may not have been eligible for the benefits received or their monthly rent payment may not be accurate based on current household income and size. Furthermore, by not completing annual inspections timely, or not completing them accurately may lead to undiscovered areas that require maintenance and potential risks to the occupants. Recommendation: We recommend that all eligibility related documents be reviewed by the Housing Manager after completion by the Authority?s staff to ensure income and rent is calculated correctly. Management review of the annual inspection forms will identify deficiencies. We further recommend management develop a tracking system to ensure timely completion of necessary inspections. Views of Responsible Officials: See the corrective action plan that accompanies the schedule of findings and questioned costs.
