Compliance, controls, and process improvements

  • Ensure financial operations and reporting comply with HUD regulations, GAAP, state/local rules, and internal policies.
  • Assist with the processing of public housing and debt services payments, fund transfers, and the establishment of bank and investment accounts.
  • Identify financial issues, recommend solutions, and support process improvements in budgeting, reporting, and data management systems.
