RECOMMENDATIONS

CONSIDER accepting the financial and program compliance audit report for the period April 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012, prepared by Harn & Dolan CPA’s, Walnut Creek, California.

BACKGROUND

The U. S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) requires every housing authority to have an annual independent audit conducted of its financial statements and business activities as well as of compliance with program requirements for the public housing, housing choice voucher (Section 8) and Shelter-Plus Care programs. HACCC contracted with Harn & Dolan to prepare the audit report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

BACKGROUND (CONT'D)

Harn & Dolan’s audit identified no findings and no material weaknesses in either the financial or program compliance portions of the audit.
The complete audit and the management letter are attached.

FISCAL IMPACT

Funding was provided for the audit contract in the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa’s (HACCC) Fiscal Year 2012 /2013 Consolidated Operating Budget.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION

Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to accept the financial audit report as performed by the certified public accountancy firm of Harn & Dolan, it would become necessary to expend additional funds to either redo the financial audit report or contract with another certified public accountancy firm to conduct an audit of HACCC’s finances and programs.
