The latest Public Housing Information will be covered in this two-day conference:

• Preparing for the New PHAS - With the 2011 release of the interim PHAS rule, HUD will be taking PHAS to the project level. The interim rule encompasses four indicators including, Physical Condition, Financial Condition, Management Operations and Capital Fund. PHAs with FYE March 31, 2011 and forward will be assessed in accordance with the Interim Rule.
• Asset Management Implementation for non Stop-Loss Entities- Over the last few years HUD has been evaluating PHAs' implementation of the asset management criteria. That review was limited to stop-loss entities. It is anticipated that HUD will soon begin reviews of non stop-loss agencies to ensure the adoption of the asset management model. We will focus on the areas HUD is likely to review.
• REAC Update on Reporting - REAC has indicated that they intend to send a representative to the conference to address reporting and other REAC issues. It has been several years since they have attended.
• Conversion of Public Housing Units Using Tax Credits - PHAs are now beginning to fund rehab and renovation of public housing units with tax credits. We will be addressing the reasons and accounting for this emerging issue.
• Section 229 Conversions - Many PHAs are examining the opportunity to return to an overhead allocation and the removal of the COCC through the Section 229 exemption. We will be addressing the issues and analysis required to make an informed decision.
• Changes to other Programs - In addition to the operating fund, HUD continues to issue new guidance on other programs. Get the latest on these changes.
• Other Financial Reporting, Auditing and Accounting Issues - We will be reviewing the most recent compliance supplements for A-133; changes to Government Auditing Standards as well any other changes FASB, GASB, AICPA issues.
• This course qualifies for 3 hours governmental auditing and 13 hours governmental accounting, for a total of 16 hours of governmental CPE.
