While obtaining our understanding of the policies and procedures in place at the Authority’s office
in relation to the management of property and equipment, management represented to us that the
required physical inventory has not been performed by the Authority’s Property Division personnel
during the last two years as required.
The Authority did not submit the required data collection form and reporting package within the
required period by March 31, 2023 (9 months after the end of fiscal year).
During our testing for regional airport expenditures, we detected an employee working on
Fernando Luis Ribas Dominicci Airport per the OP-48 (salary adjustment form) was being recorded
as payroll expense for José Aponte Hernández Airport.
During our testing for Airport Improvement Program expenditures, we detected that there was a
vendor which was not registered on System for Award Management (SAM) and was not verified on
the excluded parties list system (EPLS)
The Authority did not submit the required data collection form and reporting package within the

During our procedures over the Authority’s funds received from FEMA we noticed the following:
1. All funds received from FEMA were recorded as revenue without analyzing if revenue
recognition was correct. When examining the evidence received, we noticed many of the
funds were capital advances in which the Authority had recognized as revenue without
expending the funds. These funds were included in the original Schedule of Expenditures
and Federal Awards (SEFA) without being expended.
2. The authority did not make clear distinction on the correct federal award of the funds
received on the accounting records. There were funds that belonged to ALN 97.036, Disaster
Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) while others belonged to ALN
97.039, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, however, the Authority did not make this
distinction originally identifying them all under ALN 97.036.
During our audit procedures, we identified that most capital advances received from FEMA were
still unused on June 30, 2023, with no procedures to minimize the time elapsing between funds
received and disbursed.
