Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the Federal grant activities of the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (PRIDCO) for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. PRIDCO reporting entity is defined in Note (1) (A) to the financial statements. All Federal financial awards received directly from Federal agency as well as Federal financial awards passed-through other government agencies, if any, are included on the Schedule.
A. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized when the liability is incurred, following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Expenditures for the public assistance disaster grant program are recognized in the period when: (1) the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved the Project Worksheet (PW), and (2) eligible expenditures are incurred. It is drawn primarily from the PRIDCO’s internal accounting records, which are the basis for the PRIDCO’s Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Position (the Statement). B. Negative amounts, if any, shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. C. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available and applicable. D. PRIDCO has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The information included in the Schedule may not fully agree with other Federal award reports submitted directly to Federal granting agencies.
The Assistance Listing Number, formerly known as the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Number, is a five-digit number assigned in the awarding document for all Federal assistance award mechanisms, including Federal grants and cooperative agreements.
After a presidentially declared disaster, FEMA provides Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (CFDA 97.036) to reimburse eligible costs associated with repair, replacement or restoration of disaster-damaged facilities. The Federal government makes reimbursements in the form of cost-shared grants that commonly require state matching funds. PRIDCO receives FEMA reimbursement funds from the Central Recovery and Reconstruction Office of Puerto Rico (COR3). COR3 is a division of the Puerto Rico Public Private Authority created through Executive Order 2017-65 to manage all efforts for the recovery of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Commonwealth) after the passage of Hurricanes Irma and María. In addition, during the incident period of 12/28/2019 through 7/3/2020, Puerto Rico M6.5 Earthquake created an immediate threat to the health and safety of the general public requiring emergency response and protective measures. PRIDCO was granted, through COR3, different disaster recovery grants of FEMA related to these events of earthquakes. During the month of October 2022, COR3 issued a first Request for Information (RFI) that required PRIDCO to submit some clarification regarding descriptions included under PW1035. The PW requests funding for Direct Administrative Costs (DAC) that PRIDCO incurred performing damages assessment from 2017 to 2019.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION PRIDCO did not submit the Data Collection Form and Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse of fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, during the required period. QUESTIONED COSTS None PERSPECTIVE INFORMATION On January 28, 2026, PRIDCO requested a waiver to US Homeland Security, establishing why the Single Audit might not be issued on or before the due date. Subsequently a follow-up was issued, but no response was received. STATEMENT OF CAUSE PRIDCO was obtaining all required data for the Program ALN 97.036, and validating all required information as the Compliance Supplement 2025 and the Uniform Guidance version of 2024 requires. The Compliance Supplement was issued on November 27, 2025, affecting the timing of the SEFA preparation in accordance with the requirements. POSSIBLE ASSERTED EFFECT PRIDCO did not comply with the submission date required for the Data Collection Form and Reporting Package, this could affect the continuance and new approvals of Federal funds. In addition, for the next two (2) fiscal years PRIDCO cannot be considered by the auditor as a low risk auditee. IDENTIFICATION OF REPEAT FINDING This is a repeat finding (Finding Reference Number 2024-003). RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend PRIDCO to continue in the implementation of internal controls in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.
