Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule or SEFA) includes the federal grant activity of Cardiovascular Center Corporation of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean (the Corporation), under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information included in the Schedule is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the Uniform Guidance). Therefore, some amounts presented in the Schedule may differ from amounts presented in or used in the preparation of the financial statements of the Corporation. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Corporation, it is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation.
Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures may or may not be allowable or may be limited as to reimbursement. The Corporation has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate, as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The assistance listing numbers included in the Schedule are determined based on the program name, review of grant contract information and the System for Award Management (SAM).
The major federal programs are identified in the Summary of Auditors’ Results Section in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Federal programs are presented by federal agency.

Condition The data collection form and the reporting package for the year ended on June 30, 2025 was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the timeframe prescribed by the Uniform Guidance.

Identification of a repeat finding This is a repeat finding from the immediate previous audit, Finding No. 2024-005. Recommendation We strongly recommend the Corporation to institute policies and procedures that stipulate the specific tasks and the personnel in charge of filing the required reports. Also, the policies and procedures should designate the member of management in charge of monitoring the compliance with the reporting requirements in order to make sure that the Corporation is filing the reports by their respective due dates. The Corporation’s management and responsible officers agree with this finding. Please refer to the corrective action plan section for the Corporation’s response on pages 71 to 74.
