HCD thoroughly documented the cleanup effort for future reference. HCD Admin Division staff recorded all activities during the entire process and have retained all relevant documentation (e.g., CAPES and reconciliation reports, source documents, accounting logs, multiple program reports, process and procedural steps, etc.) for this process. Both hard copy and electronic copies have been stored appropriately for future reference. Copies of this documentation will also be retained by HCD's Audit and Evaluation Division.
