The PHA only needs to check the Component Unit (no separate financial statements) box on the PHA Info screen. This option will start after FASS-PHA 7.0 release on September 21, 2001 and for FYE 9/30/01.

Component units are organizations that are legally separate from the primary government but for which the primary government is still financially accountable. Some component units are so intertwined with the primary government that they are, in substance, the same as the primary government. The criteria for determining whether or not a Housing Authority is a component unit is outlined in GASB 14 and GAAP Flyer #3.

By checking the component unit check box, the PHA is affirming that it is a component unit of another government and that it will not have a separate audit.

OLMS compliance audit may take many weeks, months, or perhaps even longer, to complete. No absolute time frame can be placed on the duration of the compliance audit because much depends on the size of the union, the availability and condition of its records, the level of cooperation by union officials, and the type of compliance problems found. OLMS is committed to conducting the audit in a professional, efficient manner with the least possible disruption to normal union operations.

Audits begin with an opening interview of, at a minimum, the primary financial officer. If a union employs a bookkeeper, accountant, or other employee who plays a primary role in the keeping of union financial records, the OLMS investigator may request this person be present as well. Union presidents also frequently attend audit opening interviews.
