Expert HUD Auditor Services
Ensuring Compliance and Financial Integrity
Navigating the complex regulatory landscape of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires more than just standard accounting. It demands a specialized HUD Auditor who understands the intricate reporting requirements, compliance supplements, and electronic filing deadlines that property owners and management agents face.
At HUDAuditGuide.com, we provide comprehensive audit services tailored to participants in HUD programs, ensuring your financial statements are accurate, compliant, and submitted on time.
Why Do You Need a Specialized HUD Auditor?
HUD-assisted properties and FHA-insured projects are subject to strict financial oversight. Failure to comply with the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs (Handbook 2000.04) can lead to administrative sanctions, loss of funding, or civil money penalties.
Our audit team focuses on the specific nuances of:
- Uniform Financial Reporting Standards (UFRS)
- Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS/Yellow Book)
- Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) electronic submissions
Our HUD Auditor Services
1. Multifamily Housing Audits
We conduct annual financial audits for owners of multifamily projects with FHA-insured mortgages or those receiving Section 8 assistance. We ensure that your project’s surplus cash computations, reserve for replacement funds, and tenant security deposits are handled in strict accordance with HUD regulations.
2. Public Housing Authority (PHA) Audits
PHAs face unique challenges regarding the Single Audit Act and Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200). We provide deep-dive testing of compliance requirements, focusing on eligibility, procurement, and the accuracy of the Financial Data Schedule (FDS).
3. FHA-Insured Lender Audits
For HUD-approved lenders and mortgagees, we provide the specific compliance audits required to maintain your lending credentials, focusing on net worth requirements, liquidity, and loan origination compliance.
4. REAC/FASS Electronic Filing
An audit isn’t finished until it’s accepted by HUD. We specialize in the electronic submission of financial data via the Financial Assessment Subsystem (FASS). We ensure that the data entered into the REAC system matches your audited financial statements perfectly, minimizing the risk of “flags” or rejected submissions.
