NEW FASS SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT
A Unique IPA Identifier (UII) is needed on all submissions.
A UII is a randomly generated, permanently assigned, five-digit
number that HUD will use to identify the IPA offices that perform
audit and attestation services for PHAs, MFs, and lenders. The UII
will allow HUD to track IPA office workload more effectively. This
information will permit REAC to select firms for review based on
relative risk to HUD, therefore using HUD’s resources more efficiently.
Before you can obtain a UII, you must be registered within HUD
secure systems. Please allow up to two weeks to complete the registration
process.
Complete registration instructions and registration forms for Multifamily
Housing Entities, Public Housing Agencies, and lenders can be viewed
by selecting online systems from the topic menu on the left.

IPAs
and State Auditor Offices-
Only one UII will be assigned per IPA office; individuals within
an office do not need to obtain a UII. If you are a sole practitioner,
you will need a UII for your practice.
