Posted AUP Reports
View AUP reports for each Local Housing Authority
The review of the LHA’s financial records focuses on the following criteria:
- General Accounting
- Tenant Accounting
- Payroll
- Accounts Payable
- Inventory
- Procurement
- Eligibility Compliance
The AUP will cover the prior 12 month period as of the Local Housing Authority’s fiscal year-end, and must be performed by a certified public accounting firm that has been pre-qualified by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC), or LHAs may use the firm that conducts their federal single audit.
LHAs will be able to select the firm they wish to work with from the EOHLC pre-qualified list without additional procurement. LHAs must choose a different firm every five years.
