HUD's Inventory Management System/PIH Information Center (IMS/PIC) Fatal Errors- Housing Choice Voucher Program

HUD OIG is auditing HUD's Inventory Management System/PIH Information Center (IMS/PIC) fatal errors related to its Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. Fatal errors, which result from inaccurate or incomplete data, are serious in nature and prevent PHAs from submitting data from HUD form 50058 into IMS/PIC. Our audit objective is to determine the extent and impact of IMS/PIC identified fatal errors on public housing agencies’ (PHA) Housing Choice Voucher Programs.
