        The Honorable Thomas G. Cody
        Assistant Secretary for Administration
        Department of Housing and Urban
          Development

        Dear Mr. Cody:

             This report presents the results of our review of the adequacy
        of the financial management system and internal controls, including
        internal audit, relative to the receipt and disbursement of funds.
        We tested financial transactions and records as we considered appro-
        priate through March 1974. We were able to reduce our audit efforts
        in several areas because of audit work performed by HUD's Office of
        Inspector General.

             We plan to issue a separate report on our review of the centra-
        lized automated payroll operations at the headquarters office,
        Washington, D.C.

             Our review was made at the HUD headquarters office in Washington,
        D.C., and at regional offices in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Chicago,
        Illinois; and San Francisco, California. In addition, we considered
        internal audit work performed by HUD's Office of Inspector General at
        five other regional offices.

             The administrative procedures and internal controls for the
        receipt and disbursement of funds were generally satisfactory. However,
        some weaknesses were noted during the review. These weaknesses are
        sunmarized below.

        ASSESSMENTS FOR AUDITS AND
        INSPECTIONS TO BE REVIEWED

             HUD assesses loan and grant recipients a percentage of each loan
        or grant to reimburse HUD for the cost of audits and inspections performed
        by HUD personnel. The assessments are made in advance of performance and
        deposited in the Department of the Treasury in a deposit account for un-
        earned fees and charges.




                                                                    FGMSD-75-23
