Iowa City, Iowa
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition
Services, which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and
2022, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the
years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the
years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in
Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for
the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent
of Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Shelter
House Community Shelter and Transition Services' ability to continue as a going concern for
one year after the date that the financial statements were available to be issued.
2
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance
but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are
considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they
would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Shelter House Community Shelter
and Transition Services' internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
x Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Shelter House Community Shelter and
Transition Services' ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of
time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain
internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit.

Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements as
a whole. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by Title 2
U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) is presented for
purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such
information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the
financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In
our opinion, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
July 19, 2024 on our consideration of Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services'
internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that
report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of
Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services' internal control over financial
reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance
with Government Auditing Standards in considering Shelter House Community Shelter and
Transition Services' internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization and Description of Services
Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services (Shelter House) was incorporated
on July 23, 1983, in the state of Iowa as a nonprofit corporation. Through shelter and housing,
advocacy, and supportive services, the mission of Shelter House is to prevent and end
homelessness in our community. Shelter House envisions being a catalyst and voice for
systemic change in the pursuit of homelessness. Shelter House will enact its vision through
excellence in service, financial stewardship, and development of strong community
partnerships.
Shelter House offers the following services:
Emergency Services: Emergency Shelter, Coordinated Entry, Veterans' Bridge Housing, Street
Outreach, and Eviction Prevention and Diversion:
Shelter House provides emergency shelter stays for single adults and families experiencing
homelessness in Johnson County and is the designated Coordinated Entry lead for Johnson and
Washington Counties in Iowa. The shelter has 70 beds; men and women's dormitories for single
adults, and a family wing of six family bedrooms. Bridge Housing services are offered to qualifying
Veterans experiencing homelessness. These services are embedded in the shelter facility with 10
of the 70 beds prioritized for veterans. Shelter House provides an additional emergency shelter
during the winter months at a satellite location and in its overflow lobby, providing shelter for up to
an additional 70 people. Emergency Shelter services have a low barrier for eligibility. The
approach is person-centered, and trauma informed. The focus is on harm reduction—minimizing
the risks and consequences of certain behaviors rather than prohibiting the behavior itself—and
on keeping people alive and safe.
Breakfast and dinner are offered daily for current guests of Shelter House's emergency shelter.
Health services are offered onsite to guests by volunteers from the University of Iowa College of
Nursing and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics Department of Adult Psychiatry on a
weekly and bi-weekly basis. Drop-in Services are available daily and include access to showers,
laundry, phone, and professional staff. These services are available to anyone from the public in
need.
Shelter House provides Street Outreach services for the service region. Through Street Outreach,
people living in unsheltered locations are engaged to ensure basic needs are met (water, food,
and supplies) while offering support toward housing stability and other services as needed and
desired.
Eviction Prevention and Diversion services were initiated in response to the pandemic. Shelter
House offers direct financial assistance for rent and utility arrears and supports individuals facing
a housing crisis by negotiating with landlords to avoid eviction, providing landlord-tenant education
and conflict management support; an Eviction Diversion Help Desk is held weekly at the Johnson
County Courthouse. Through these efforts combined, households avoid the cost, crisis, and
trauma of homelessness.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Nature of Organization and Description of Services (Continued)
Housing Services: Rapid Rehousing and Permanent Supportive Housing:
Rapid Rehousing is a housing-first approach that minimizes the amount of time an individual or
family experiences homelessness and helps them find and stabilize in their own housing. Rapid
Rehousing solves the immediate crisis of homelessness while connecting families and individuals
with community resources to address other needs. Shelter House executes each of the three core
components of Rapid Rehousing utilizing a progressive engagement approach: 1) Housing
identification; 2) Financial assistance (security deposit, moving assistance, and rent assistance for
three to six months); and 3) Housing stability case management (connecting participants to jobs,
services, and the support needed to successfully maintain their housing). Stability services
continue for up to six months after rent assistance ends to ensure stability.
Shelter House offers Permanent Supportive Housing as an evidence-based intervention serving
individuals and families with complex health and behavioral health issues through both scattered
site and single site approaches. The Fairweather Lodge is a scattered site model. It is a recovery-
focused, peer-driven program for adults experiencing homelessness who have been diagnosed
with a serious persistent mental illness, many of whom have a co-occurring disorder. The model is
based on the understanding that people who live and work together, and have significant control
over their lives, can overcome homelessness and recover from their mental illnesses.
Cross Park Place and 501 Southgate are single site properties comprised of one-bedroom
apartments (24 units and 36 units respectively). These are Housing First interventions—an
approach based on the concept that, for an individual experiencing homelessness, the first and
primary need is to obtain stable housing (a basic necessity), and that other issues that may affect
the individual should be addressed voluntarily and only after housing is obtained. Housing
opportunities are exclusively for adults who meet the HUD definition of chronic homelessness who
categorically have a disabling condition.
Both scattered site and single site Permanent Supportive Housing interventions incorporate
comprehensive supportive services including case management, life skills and daily living
supports, and support to apply for and maintain mainstream resources. The approach is person-
centered, and trauma informed with a focus on harm reduction. Clinical primary and behavioral
health care services are embedded in all Permanent Supporting Housing programs. These
services are available weekly through longstanding partnerships with community stakeholders.
Scattered site Permanent Supportive Housing opportunities were increased by Shelter House in
partnership with the Iowa City Housing Authority and area landlords with specialized Vouchers (78
Mainstream Vouchers and 69 Emergency Housing Vouchers) assigned through Coordinated Entry
to households indicating need for Permanent Supportive Housing but where no permanent
supportive housing unit was otherwise available. Access to case management and supportive
services is available, including access to clinical primary and behavioral health care providers.

Nature of Organization and Description of Services (Continued)
Supported Employment
Shelter House provides Supported Employment for tenants in its Permanent Supportive Housing
programs through Fresh Starts Janitorial Services, an in-house janitorial company that employs
Permanent Supportive Housing tenants and has cleaning contracts throughout the community.
Through Supported Employment, people with mental illnesses discover paths of self-sufficiency
and recovery, rather than disability and dependence. Supported employment ensures all people
who want to work are offered work; services are integrated with comprehensive mental health
treatment; personalized benefits counseling is provided to every client; and clients receive job
support for as long as required.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, with original maturities
of three months or less, that are recorded at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates
fair value. Shelter House is required to maintain established amounts for capital expenditures
and operations of the Cross Park and 501 Southgate facilities.
Concentrations
Financial instruments which potentially subject Shelter House to concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents and receivables. Shelter
House places its cash and restricted cash and cash equivalents with a limited number of
financial institutions, which at times, are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Shelter House is subject to a degree of vulnerability due to concentrations of receivables and
revenue from major funding sources. Shelter House received approximately 50% of its total
revenue, gains and other support from the federal government for the years ended December
31, 2023 and 2022. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, three payors accounted for
approximately 76% and 82%, respectively, of contract and grant receivables.
Beneficial Interest in Assets Held by Community Foundation
Shelter House has accounts with the Community Foundation of Johnson County (the
Foundation), which are held in permanent designated agency endowment funds, for the benefit
of Shelter House. The transactions with the Foundation are deemed to be reciprocal, and
therefore, the fair value of the fund held by the Foundation is recognized as an asset by
Shelter House.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, or fair value if donated, with depreciation
computed primarily under the straight-line method over the economic useful lives of the assets.
All property and equipment in excess of $5,000, and with an estimated useful life greater than
one year, is capitalized. Certain properties are subject to contingencies which restricts Shelter
House's ability to sell, assign or transfer its interest in the property.
Long-Lived Assets
Shelter House records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events
and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.
There were no impairment losses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Leases
Shelter House recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability for each operating and
finance lease with a term greater than 12 months at the time of lease inception. Shelter House
does not record a ROU asset or lease liability for leases with an initial term of 12 months or
less but continues to record rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Options
to extend or terminate at the sole discretion of Shelter House are included in the determination
of the lease term when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The lease liability
represents the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. Shelter House has
elected the practical expedients (1) to discount the lease liability using the risk-free rate for all
classes of assets, (2) to use hindsight for assessing the lease term and impairment of the ROU
asset, and (3) to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of assets.
Net Assets
Net assets, revenues, gains, and other support are classified based on the existence or
absence of donor or grantor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, net assets and changes therein
are classified and reported as follows:
Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions – Net assets available for use in general operations and
not subject to donor or grantor restrictions. The governing board has designated, from net
assets without donor restrictions, net assets for an operating reserve.
Net Assets With Donor Restrictions – Net assets subject to donor or grantor-imposed
restrictions. Some donor-imposed restrictions are temporary in nature, such as those that will
be met by the passage of time or other events specified by the donor. Other donor-imposed
restrictions are perpetual in nature, where the donor stipulates that resources be maintained in
perpetuity. Contributions that are restricted by the donor are reported as increases in net
assets without donor restrictions if the restrictions expire (that is, when a stipulated time
restriction ends, or purpose restriction is accomplished) in the reporting period in which the
revenue is recognized. All other donor-restricted contributions are reported as increases in net
assets with donor restrictions. When a restriction expires, net assets with donor restrictions are
reclassified to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statement of activities
as net assets released from restrictions.

Revenue Recognition
Contribution and Grant Revenue
Shelter House recognizes contributions when cash, securities or other assets, an unconditional
promise to give, or notification of an irrevocable beneficial interest is received. Conditional
promises to give, that is, those with a measurable performance or other barrier, and a right of
return, are not recognized until the conditions on which they depend have been substantially
met. As of December 31, 2023, Shelter House had conditional promises to give of $621,228
for construction rehabilitation and $3,325,125 for 2024 programs. No amounts were
recognized in 2023 as the conditions had not yet been met.
A portion of Shelter House's revenue is derived from cost-reimbursable federal and state
contracts and grants, including those with contingent forgivable loans and grant agreements
(see Note 8). This revenue is conditioned upon certain performance requirements and/ or the
incurrence of allowable qualifying expenses. Amounts received are recognized as revenue
when Shelter House has incurred expenditures in compliance with specific contract or grant
provisions.
Program Service Revenue
Contracted janitorial service revenue is recognized over time as Shelter House satisfies its
performance obligations. Contracts are generally for 12 months with an option for two
automatic renewals of two years unless a 90 day written notice of nonrenewal is received.
Termination of the contract requires 30 day notice. Under these contracts, Shelter House
provides services for a stated monthly fee. Monthly fees are billed within two weeks of the
service being provided.
Rental income is recognized over time as Shelter House satisfies its performance obligations.
Under Shelter House's rental agreements, which are generally based on 12 month contracts,
Shelter House provides housing for a stated monthly fee. Rent is paid by the tenant personally
or by housing subsidy held by the tenant and paid directly to Shelter House. Housing subsidies
are determined by the provider, such as the Public Housing Authority, which uses an income-
based calculation to determine the fees to be paid by the tenant and the fees to be paid
through subsidy. Rental fees that are owed by the tenant are not always collected and, as
such, Shelter House adjusts revenue based on historical experience, to reflect the estimated
transaction price. Shelter House generally receives payment at the beginning of each month
for services during the month.

Functional Allocation of Expenses
The costs of program and supporting services activities have been summarized on a functional
basis in the statement of activities. The statement of functional expenses presents the natural
classification detail of expenses by function. The financial statements report certain categories
of expenses that are attributed to more than one program or supporting function. Therefore,
expenses require allocation on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. The expenses
that are allocated include professional services, information technology, occupancy, insurance,
property taxes, and depreciation, which are allocated based on clients and employee numbers,
as well as salaries and wages, benefits, and payroll taxes, which are allocated on the basis of
estimates of time and effort.
Income Taxes
Shelter House is a not-for-profit corporation as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the Code) and is exempt from federal income taxes pursuant to Section
501(a) of the Code.

NOTE 10 – DONATED MATERIALS AND CONTRIBUTED SERVICES
Donated materials, rental activities, and contributed services are valued at the estimated fair
value that Shelter House might incur under normal operating activities. These donated
materials, rental activities, and contributed services, which are received without donor
restriction, are used to support the programs of Shelter House.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, Shelter House received a donation of real estate.
The real estate was received without donor restriction as to use and was subsequently sold in
February 2024 for approximately $393,000, after closing costs, which is the value assigned to
the contribution.
The value of donated materials, rental activities, property, and services included as
contributions and corresponding assets and expenses, in the accompanying statements for the
years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, is as follows:
2023 2022
Materials 91,830$ 124,530$
Rental activities 25,088 25,088
Property 393,374 -
Client counseling services 123,280 134,893
Total in-kind donations 633,572$ 284,511$
NOTE 11 – RETIREMENT PLAN
Shelter House maintains a defined contribution plan which covers employees who meet certain
eligibility requirements. Shelter House makes matching contributions to the plan for those
eligible employees who defer a portion of their compensation. The maximum matching amount
per eligible employee is 4%. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Shelter
House contributed $41,354 and $19,088, respectively, in matching funds.
NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value measurement accounting literature establishes a valuation hierarchy for
disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the
inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs
that are observable, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs based on Shelter House's own assumptions used to
measure assets and liabilities at fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
25
NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The beneficial interest in assets held by the Community Foundation is valued at the estimated
pro rata share of the Foundation's investment pool. The assets held by the Foundation include
money market funds, bonds and fixed income funds, and mutual funds. The Foundation is
organized and operated as a permanent collection of endowed funds for the benefit of many
organizations. Shelter House holds only a portion of the assets held by the Foundation,
therefore, Shelter House reports its beneficial interest as a Level 3 asset.
The following is a summary of changes in the fair value of Shelter House's Level 3 asset for
the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
2023 2022
Balance - beginning of year 1,408,703$ 1,853,141$
Contributions 400 500

Independent Auditor's Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters
Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed
in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards
29
Board of Directors
Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services
Iowa City, Iowa
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards,issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial
statements of Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services (Shelter House),
which comprise the statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023, and the related
statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the
related notes to the financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
July 19, 2024.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Shelter
House's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion
on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Shelter House's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on
the effectiveness of Shelter House's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable
possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented
or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet
important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during
our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material
weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
30
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Shelter House's financial statements
are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain
provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which
could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts.
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our
audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed
no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of
the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit
performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's
internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other
purpose.

Independent Auditor's Report on Compliance for
Each Major Federal Program and Report on Internal Control
over Compliance Requited by the Uniform Guidance
31
To the Board of Directors
Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services
Iowa City, Iowa
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Shelter House Community Shelter and Transition Services' (Shelter House)
compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance
Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on Shelter House's major federal
programs for the year ended December 31, 2023. Shelter House's major federal programs are
identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings
and questioned costs.
In our opinion, Shelter House complied, in all material respects, with the compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major
federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits
contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States (Government Auditing Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of
Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and
Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Our responsibilities under those
standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for
the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of Shelter House and to meet our other ethical
responsibilities, in accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. Our audit does not
provide a legal determination of Shelter House's compliance with the compliance requirements
referred to above.
32
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the
requirements of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant
agreements applicable to Shelter House's federal programs.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with
the compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and
express an opinion on Shelter House's compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the
Uniform Guidance will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not
detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred to
above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on
compliance about Shelter House's compliance with the requirements of each major federal
program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the
Uniform Guidance, we:
x Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit.
x Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error,
and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding Shelter House's compliance with
the compliance requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures
as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
x Obtain an understanding of Shelter House's internal control over compliance relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances
and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the
Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of Shelter House's internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such
opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
33
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a
control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a
type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in
internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material
noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be
prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe
than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in
the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed
to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these
limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were
not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
internal control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of
our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the
requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.
