Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management continues to review and establish month end and year end procedures to properly record management fees accordance with HUD approved rate.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS Management agrees with the audit finding. The Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDE) acknowledges that the requested procurement documentation was not fully available at the time of the auditors’ review. However, management made every effort to gather and reconstruct the information for all the selected transactions, and the complete documentation will be available. Furthermore, the PRDE is taking actions to improve the accessibility and organization of procurement files to ensure that all documentation is readily available for review in a timely manner. Internal controls over document retention and filing procedures are being reinforced to prevent recurrence of this situation. It is important to note that the procurement processes followed by the PRDE comply with the applicable requirements established under the Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Guidance). Management remains committed to strengthening its internal controls, ensuring full compliance with federal and state requirements, and maintaining complete and timely documentation to support all procurement activities.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS The PRDE acknowledges and accepts the finding. Management recognizes the importance of ensuring that all obligations and expenditures are properly incurred within the authorized period of performance established for each grant in compliance with federal regulations under 2 CFR §200.77 and §200.309. The PRDE has initiated a comprehensive review of the purchase orders (POs) identified in the finding that were obligated after the grant award end date of September 30, 2023. Each program—Adult Education (84.002), Special Education (IDEA, 84.027), and Career and Technical Education (Perkins V, 84.048A)—will evaluate these transactions to determine whether they correspond to allowable and valid obligations incurred during the active grant period. Where applicable and supported by documentation, PRDE will adjust or reclassify the expenses to the appropriate and current grant period. In instances where reassignment to an active grant is not possible, PRDE will identify available state funds to absorb these costs and will process the corresponding reimbursements or journal entries to ensure full compliance with federal requirements. Furthermore, PRDE’s Budget Office, in coordination with the Federal Affairs Office and Finance Office, is in the process of strengthening internal control procedures to prevent the creation of POs after the period of performance. This includes: (i)Automating system controls within the SIFDE accounting system to restrict the creation of POs for grants whose period of performance has expired; (ii)Implement an internal monitoring checklist at the program and budget level to validate the effective date of POs prior to approval; (iii)Establishing a communication between the Budget Office and program offices to ensure that any pending obligations are reviewed and processed before the closeout of the grant period. These corrective actions aim to ensure compliance with federal regulations, strengthen accountability, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the internal control environment related to the management of federal funds. IMPLEMENTATION DATE December 30, 2025 RESPONSIBLE PERSON María de los A. Lizardí Valdés Director Office of Federal Affairs Evelyn Rodríguez Cardé Director of Finance Dr. Jorge L.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS The PRDE does not agree with the Recommendation to establish an allocation method for TPFA invoices because TPFA services are overhead costs paid from administrative funds and are not tied to any specific federal grant. In addition, the PRDE does not agree that contract terms should be revised before the contract expiration to require a reconciliation of total hours and rates because again, payments to the TPFA are overhead costs not directly tied to any specific program. Finally, the PRDE does not agree with the recommendation that the TPFA submit supporting evidence for the reimbursement of expenses because (i) the TPFA contract is a fixed fee that is inclusive of all professional service fees and expenses and (ii) the TPFA provides an explanation of major expenses incurred within each monthly invoice. Auditor Comment on Management Response for Finding No. 2024-004 As stated in CONDITION 2., “…on invoice 830311-2023-32 the amount of $1,978,791 (85% of total invoice amount) was charged to several programs of ALN 84.425, although the services described in the invoice were not related only to these programs; therefore, the cost objective is not chargeable in accordance with the relative benefit received.” Further, the 2 CFR 200.1, establishes that: “Indirect [facilities & administrative (F&A)] costs mean those costs incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective, and not readily assignable to the cost objectives specifically benefitted, without effort disproportionate to the results achieved. To facilitate equitable distribution of indirect expenses to the cost objectives served, it may be necessary to establish a number of pools of indirect (F&A) costs. Indirect (F&A) cost pools must be distributed to benefitted cost objectives on bases that will produce an equitable result in consideration of relative benefits derived.” This information was not provided for our evaluation. Also, we made reference to the Program Determination Email for ALNs. 84.938 and 84.425 dated September 18, 2024 (Audit Control Number 02-21-39634), received from Ms. Catherine Miers of the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education of the US Department of Education (USDE), in which they required that the PRDE provide documentation for the following corrective actions: “revised the contract terms to include a reconciliation of total hours and rates to adjust the payments made to the vendor before the contract expiration; requested that adequate supporting evidence from the vendors be presented for any expenses to be reimbursed by the PRDE; and develop an adequate review of the vendors invoice to properly identify the actual hours of services that benefited the Federal programs so a correct allocation of the costs incurred can be made within Federal programs and state funds”.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS The PRDE does not agree with the recommendation to revise the Restart Fiscal Process Guide to require private schools to submit a receiving report or equivalent documentation to substantiate equipment purchases prior to reimbursement. These transactions correspond to reimbursements, not direct purchases made by PRDE; therefore, verification is performed through proof of payment submitted by the schools. When auditors requested confirmation of receipt, PRDE obtained photographs of the equipment from the schools to provide additional verification that the items were in the school. In addition, the PRDE wants to clarify that where quotations were used instead of invoices, the private schools provided valid proof of payment that matched the quotations submitted. This evidence demonstrated that the purchases were completed and consistent with the approved documentation, meeting the requirements for allowable and verifiable costs under Federal regulations. The PRDE does not agree with the recommendation to change the accounting classification or to implement additional review procedures related to the use of account E6170, “Donations and Contributions to Private Entities.” The use of account E6170 is appropriate given the nature of the transaction, which reflects a reimbursement to a private school rather than a direct purchase by PRDE that would otherwise be recorded under account E5500. The PRDE acknowledges the deficiencies noted during the audit regarding the omission of reimbursed equipment purchases from the PRDE Property and Equipment Register. To address this, the PRDE has prepared a list of reimbursed equipment purchased by private schools under the Restart Program. This list will be provided to the personnel responsible for maintaining the register to ensure the inclusion of these items in the Property and Equipment Register, in compliance with the capitalization and accountability requirements established in the Restart Fiscal Process Guide. The corrective action is scheduled for implementation on or before the end of the current fiscal year. Auditor Comment on Management Response for Finding No. 2024-003 In relation to situation #2 comments, the PRDE didn’t have evidence of the receiving report, which is required for all other purchases of equipment for which the PRDE is the owner. Internal controls over property and equipment should be the same for all equipment for which the PRDE is the owner. In relation to situation #3, all equipment purchased and registered in this account was not included in the inventory of the PRDE, because the general ledger account used is not recognized for purchase of property and equipment, instead is a general ledger account for donations. Further, in accordance with the “Guia de Procesos Fiscales – Fondos Programa Restart”, it is established that all reimbursement of equipment should be recorded in accounts E5000 or E4414. This is because the system recognizes that an addition of equipment was made and must be capitalized. IMPLEMENTATION DATE In process. RESPONSIBLE PERSON María de los A.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS The PRDE acknowledges the auditor’s finding. Management clarifies that all requested information was available and existed within the PRDE systems; however, it was not provided in a timely manner due to circumstances beyond the Department’s control, including competing deliverables required from the same operational areas. Regarding the disbursement vouchers referenced by the auditors, including the Excel Master and Adjustment Reports, the program area reviewed the documents and confirmed that they reconciled accurately. The timing differences were due to automatic and manual adjustments. All supporting information was available in PRDE’s databases, including SIFDE and MIPE, and has been included as part of this response for further reference. For the student billed for $34,000, all supporting documentation—such as the proposal, approval of payment, and related evidence—was and remains available in MIPE. As part of PRDE’s internal controls, all necessary documentation must be uploaded into the system before any transaction can proceed. It is also important to note that auditors were granted full access to both MIPE and SIFDE at the beginning of their audit procedures. In relation to Findings 4 and 5, documentation was available in MIPE. Management notes that certain contracts and proposals may have amendments, and it appears the auditors may have reviewed an incorrect version of the file. Similarly, for Finding 6, the area revalidated the information during the preparation of this response and confirmed that the documentation cited as missing was, in fact, available in the MIPE portal. Additionally, management evaluated the matter related to expense recognition. In accordance with federal regulations and to ensure compliance with IDEA requirements, PRDE is authorized to cover certain expenses of the Preschool Grant (84.173) using IDEA Part B (84.027) funds. As detailed in the prior Single Audit report: “IDEA Part B, Section 611 funds can be used for students ages 3 to 21. According to the description provided by OSEP, the Grants to States program assists states in meeting the excess costs of providing special education and related services to children with disabilities. States must serve all children with disabilities between the ages of 3 through 21, unless inconsistent with State law or court orders. Under 34 CFR § 300.202(a), the LEA must use IDEA Part B funds to pay the excess costs of providing special education and related services to children with disabilities.” Regarding the vouchers related to training services, PRDE does not concur with that portion of the finding, as the contract does not stipulate that the teachers must be an IDEA employee. This contract was previously evaluated as part of the auditors’ procedures. The PRDE accepts the auditors’ recommendations and will implement corrective actions to improve the timely submission of documentation and strengthen internal coordination among areas involved in responding to audit requests Auditor Comment on Management Response for Finding No. 2024-002 In response of the second paragraph, our Auditors held three (3) meetings with PRDE’s personnel and the amounts were not reconciled. For the third response, no justification exists in MIPE or SIFDE that the amount paid is reasonable and in accordance with the contract. In fact, if all costs disclosed in the contract were applied to that student, the amount is less than the $34,000 paid monthly. For the fourth response related to Conditions 4 and 5, our Auditors requested all information to be available. We held three (3) meetings, and the information did not reconcile and was not available for our evaluation. In addition, we understand and acknowledge that contracts have amendments; however, these amendments relate to increases in the total amount because an original contract is based on a certain quantity, and amendments are made as funds are received. The cost per student established in the contract or proposals remained unchanged in these amendments. The lack of verification between the supplier's cost as stated in the contract and the cost invoiced by the supplier is a significant problem because the supplier is billing for a cost that was not part of the original agreement or proposal. For the fifth through seven responses, the Uniform Guidance requires that financial management system record the expenditures in the program that benefited from the services; no in the program with more budget..

Finding 2024-003: Compliance Requirement: Allowable Cost/Cost Principles Material Weakness Assistance Living Number 93.224 Community Health Centers Grant Award Number H80CS00112 US Department of Health and Human Services Condition: A walkthrough of fourteen individuals was performed to review personnel files and payroll related to salary for the Organization. Of the fourteen files reviewed, eight had no approved current pay rate documented, one was paid at a rate different from the current rate in the file, two files did not contain an I-9 Form, and one was missing Form W-4. Also, there was no time sheet provided to support the time charged to the federal grant for three of the fourteen individuals tested. Action Planned in Response to the Finding: All payroll activities are managed through ADP. The Human Resources team has assigned grant codes to each staff member which identifies the source of funding that supports their salary. During the timecard approval process for each payroll, the hours worked for a particular grant source will be included. Additionally, the Finance team has taken the following steps to strengthen compliance and accuracy in grant reporting: 1. Assigned personnel whose responsibilities are 100% fully dedicated to specific grant activities. 2. Maintained a detailed allocation table tracking employee time and effort by individual grant.

The organization acknowledges that unallowable rent costs were claimed and payment received under government grants and contracts resulting in overstating revenues for FY24, and that adjustments were necessary to the financial statements to correct the resulting deficiencies. As indicated, however, this overstating was due to the unique situation that existed as a result of the landlord’s breaking the organization’s lease, suddenly and without notice. Rent costs were claimed for as long as the organization was liable for the rent. After the liability was forgiven by the landlord, rent costs were returned to the funders.
