SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYOTHER MATTERS

FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS - MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT 2021-001 ? Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance ? Required Payments to General Operating Reserve Department of Housing and Urban Development CFDA Number 14.126 ? Mortgage Insurance - Cooperative Projects Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Category of Finding ? Special Tests and Provisions Criteria - Section three of the Cooperative?s regulatory agreement with HUD requires monthly payments to a General Operating Reserve. Deposits are 3% of member carrying charges until the balance of the reserve exceeds 15% of current annual member carrying charges. The required deposit is then reduced to 2% of monthly charges until the balance of the reserve exceeds 25% of annual carrying charges. Condition - Deposits to the segregated account for the General Operating Reserve during the period ended September 30, 2021 were $27,818 less than the required amount for the period. Cause - The Cooperative inadvertently omitted making monthly deposits to the General Operating Reserve in 2021. The control in place to assure the required monthly deposits were made failed to work; however, a monitoring control identified the error and corrected the deficiency prior to the conclusion of the audit. Effect - The Cooperative was out of compliance with their HUD regulatory agreement at September 30, 2021, because the General Operating Reserve was underfunded. Recommendation - We recommend that the Cooperative implement a control process to ensure adherence to the regulatory agreement and make the required monthly deposits to the General Operating Reserve. Auditee?s comment - In October 2021, prior to the conclusion of the audit, the Cooperative made a deposit of $30,135 to the General Operating Reserve to fund the reserve to its proper balance. The Controller of the management agent will implement a process to ensure deposits are made as required by the regulatory agreement. Status - Resolved Auditor?s non-compliance code - Z - Other Responsible party for corrective action - Lisa Gindt, Controller of Ecumen (Management Agent)
