A public housing authority audit is an independent examination of a PHA’s financial statements and compliance, and Modus helps you get one done at the speed of business. Authorities manage federal housing programs and report directly to HUD, and Modus brings top-firm rigor and AI-native speed to the audit and the HUD-specific reporting that comes with it.

What is a public housing authority audit?

A public housing authority audit is an independent examination of a PHA’s financial statements and compliance. Authorities report to HUD through the Financial Assessment Subsystem, submitting Financial Data Schedule (FDS) information via FASS-PH. Many authorities also need a Single Audit when federal spending is significant.

Who needs a public housing authority audit?

  • Local and regional public housing authorities.
  • Authorities administering the Housing Choice Voucher program.
  • PHAs with HUD reporting and FDS submission requirements.
  • Authorities expending $1,000,000 or more in federal awards, which also need a Single Audit.

What a public housing authority audit covers

  • Financial statements prepared under applicable government standards.
  • HUD Financial Data Schedule reporting through FASS-PH.
  • Compliance considerations over HUD program requirements.
  • Single Audit under Uniform Guidance and Yellow Book standards when required.
  • Internal control review over federal financial reporting.

Frequently asked questions

How does a PHA report its audit results to HUD?

Public housing authorities submit Financial Data Schedule information to HUD through the Financial Assessment Subsystem, known as FASS-PH. Modus helps you get that submission prepared and filed as part of the engagement.

Does a housing authority need a Single Audit?

An authority expending $1,000,000 or more in federal awards in a fiscal year generally needs a Single Audit under Uniform Guidance, performed to Yellow Book standards. Modus helps you get it done alongside the financial statement audit.

How quickly can Modus help complete a PHA audit?

Modus targets a roughly four-week turnaround. Our AI-native tooling handles much of the routine fieldwork, which leaves time to complete HUD reporting within your deadlines.
