What are Single Audit Compliance Supplement Services?
Single Audit Compliance Supplement Services help organizations prepare and organize documentation relevant to federal program compliance reviews. For housing agencies, this commonly includes tenant files, recertification evidence, notices, approvals, inspection materials, correspondence, and related workflow history. FileVision ETR supports the records-management side of preparation by making files structured, searchable, and available to authorized staff and reviewers; it does not determine audit results or provide legal advice.
How does FileVision support Single Audit preparation?
FileVision ETR centralizes supporting records in electronic, transaction-based files so staff can retrieve documentation by household, lifecycle event, or document metadata. Checklists and workflow status can highlight incomplete items, while audit trails show file activity and version history. These capabilities help teams prepare requested evidence more efficiently and maintain clearer documentation continuity before an audit or monitoring review.
Can FileVision identify missing compliance documents?
Yes. ETR uses configurable checklists and workflow statuses to help staff identify missing documents and exceptions within a file. Your agency defines the required documents, review steps, and completion expectations for its programs. The platform then helps users see outstanding items and route follow-up work, supporting earlier resolution of documentation gaps before deadlines, monitoring events, or audit requests.
Can external auditors access records in FileVision?
FileVision can support secure, role-based access for authorized external auditors and reviewers. Access can be limited to the tenant records, document categories, or work areas relevant to the review, helping avoid unnecessary exposure of unrelated confidential information. Agencies remain responsible for defining reviewer permissions, confidentiality requirements, and the scope of records shared during each audit engagement.
What records should be organized for a Single Audit review?
The required records depend on the federal programs, award terms, and review scope involved. Housing agencies often need organized eligibility support, income and verification evidence, recertifications, notices, approvals, inspections, correspondence, payments-related supporting records, and program workflow documentation. Agency leadership, compliance personnel, and counsel should determine the applicable requirements; FileVision helps store and retrieve the resulting documentation.
Does ETR replace a housing authority’s core management system?
No. FileVision ETR is a specialized electronic tenant-record and document-workflow platform, not a full PHA ERP, rent ledger, eligibility engine, or program accounting system. It complements existing housing management systems by organizing the documents, forms, correspondence, and approvals connected to tenant and participant transactions. Integration options, including HMS and Microsoft environments, should be confirmed for each agency’s configuration.
How does transaction-based organization improve audit readiness?
Transaction-based organization groups documents around the event that created them, such as intake, annual recertification, an interim household change, move-in, or move-out. This approach keeps forms, evidence, notices, and approvals for one process together. When a reviewer asks about a specific event, staff can locate a more complete record without searching multiple document-type folders or shared drives.
How do we get started with FileVision for audit-ready records?
Start by reviewing your current tenant-file processes, documentation categories, retention policies, review workflow, and system integrations. FileVision can then help map files to key housing transactions and configure access, checklists, and workflows to reflect your agency’s operating practices. A demonstration is a useful first step for evaluating how ETR fits alongside your existing housing management and compliance processes.
