From an audit conducted on the New York City Housing Authority, it was found the NYCHA is in partial compliance with the Department of Housing and Urban Development's regulations and its own procedures regarding criminal background and sex offense checks of tenants residing in public housing. However, there is a lack of maintenance of documents and evidence in certain cases, which increases the risk that persons who are ineligible are residing in public housing, so the NYCHA must ensure that all regulations are followed.
From an audit conducted on the Department of Records and Information Services, it was found that the Department's procurement, payroll, and personnel practices complied with key provisions of the Procurement Policy Board Rules, Comptroller's Directives, and City Leave and Personnel regulations. However, the Department must work on adequately monitoring the excessive annual leave balances of employees.
From an audit conducted on the Office of Payroll Administration, through Spherion Atlantic Enterprises, LLC, it was found that the OPA mismanaged its quality assurance agreement with Spherion, which limited Spherion's ability to oversee the development of CityTime. In addition, the OPA violated Procurement Policy Board rules and has been plagued by poor management decisions. It is suggested that they create a special Crisis Management Team to advise the board.
