Effective May 1, 2007, for all final cost certifications submitted, DED will require that any state qualified rehabilitation expenditures incurred by or on behalf of the project owner due to transactions with related parties be examined by the CPA in the cost certification. The project owner is considered related to the party providing project goods or services under the following circumstances: (1) the project owner has a financial interest in the other party (i.e., general contractor, subcontractor, vendor, etc.); (2) one or more of the officers, directors, stockholders, or partners of the project owner is also an officer, director, stockholder, or partner of the other party; (3) an officer, director, stockholder, or partner of the project owner has a financial interest in the other party or has controlling interest in the management or operation of the other party; (4) the project owner receives a fund advance from the other party; or (5) the project owner grants the other party stock or an ownership interest in the project owner as full or partial payment of the project owner's obligation to the other party
