What Happened?
Category: Financial ManagementIssue: Non-complianceThe National Housing Authority originally recorded a large sum as financial assistance expenses, but later had to reclassify it as inventory because the housing units and lots are not yet assigned to specific beneficiaries. This shows that the initial booking was incorrect and the amounts should have been treated as assets from the start.
