Management's Response and Corrective Action Plan Fiscal Year 2025 Single Audit Finding Reference: 2025-001 & 2025-004 o Classification: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting / Compliance o Target Completion Date: 120 Days (from the issuance of the final audit report o Responsible Officials: Finance Director, Director of Information Systems and the Municipal Advisor Management's Response & Corrective Action Plan: Concurrence with the Findings: The Management of the Municipality of Corozal concurs with the conditions and recommendations outlined in Findings 2025-001 and 2025-004 We acknowledge that the recent migration of our core accounting system compromised the system's operational and technical capacity to generate balanced trial balances, reconcile subsidiary ledgers, and streamline the automatic production of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Corrective Actions to be Implemented: To resolve these deficiencies systematically and ensure full compliance with Government Auditing Standards and the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), the Municipality will execute the following action plan within a strict 120-day timeframe: 1. System Re-alignment & Expert Remediation (Led by: Director of Information Systems and the Municipal Advisor): The Municipality will immediately retain specialized software implementation engineers and municipal accounting consultants to trace the migration mapping errors. This team will re-align the platform's database structure to correct the corrupted historical financial data and prior-period balances. 2. Opening Balance Reconstruction (Led by: Finance Director & Municipal Advisor): A formal data-clearing project will be established to reconstruct, cross-reference, and validate all opening balances transferred from the legacy system against the prior year's audited financial statements to restore data integrity. 3. Interim Manual Tracking for Federal Programs (Led by: Finance Director): To address the risks highlighted in Finding 2025-004 the Finance Department will immediately implement an interim manual spreadsheet tracking matrix. This will ensure all federal expenditures across all active Assistance Listings (ALN) are manually reconciled with federal drawdowns and physical invoices until the core accounting database is completely functional. 4. Closing Controls & Migration Policies (Led by: Joint Committee): We will design and implement rigid monthly closing routines and formal trial balance reviews. Furthermore, we will establish strict IT transition frameworks requiring dual-system running periods and mandatory data-integrity sign-offs before any future application or ledger upgrades are deployed. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at (787) 859-3060, ext. 1703. Sincerely Jose A Rivera Miranda Finance Director

Condition: The audit identified multiple instances in which expenses processed through the centralized operating account were not allocated to the appropriate HUD insured projects. Certain costs were charged to incorrect entities or to projects that did not receive the benefit of the expenditure. These misallocations occurred across multiple fiscal years. The costs were determined to be immaterial to the financial statements overall. Cause: Insufficient internal controls over transaction coding and allocation within the centralized operating account resulted in errors. Supervisory review was inconsistent, and periodic reconciliations were not performed at a level sufficient to detect and correct misallocations. Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges the finding and has taken steps to strengthen internal controls and ensure accurate project level reporting in accordance with HUD Handbook 4370.2. 1. Enhanced Supervisory Review Management has implemented a mandatory supervisory review and approval process for all postings from the centralized operating account. Updated procedures require documentation supporting allocation decisions and verification that expenses benefit the appropriate project. Implementation Status: Implemented January 2026; ongoing. 2. Periodic Reconciliations Supervisory review of transactions are now performed to confirm that expenses are charged to the correct project. A periodic cross project allocation review has been established to ensure consistency and compliance with HUD requirements. Implementation Status: Implemented January 2026; ongoing. 3. Correction of Prior Year Misallocations A detailed review of prior year postings is underway to identify misallocated expenses. Adjusting journal entries will be recorded during Fiscal Year 2026 to reclassify expenses to the appropriate projects. Implementation Status: In progress; expected completion during FY 2026. 4. Improvements to Allocation Methodology and Coding Controls The address based allocation logic that contributed to the errors has been corrected. System controls now require project specific coding at the point of entry. Staff have received updated training on proper allocation procedures and HUD requirements. Implementation Status: Completed December 2025; training ongoing. Anticipated Completion Date: All corrective actions will be fully implemented by the end of Fiscal Year 2026.

Condition: The audit identified multiple instances in which expenses processed through the centralized operating account were not allocated to the appropriate HUD insured projects. Certain costs were charged to incorrect entities or to projects that did not receive the benefit of the expenditure. These misallocations occurred across multiple fiscal years. The costs were determined to be immaterial to the financial statements overall. Cause: Insufficient internal controls over transaction coding and allocation within the centralized operating account resulted in errors. Supervisory review was inconsistent, and periodic reconciliations were not performed at a level sufficient to detect and correct misallocations. Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges the finding and has taken steps to strengthen internal controls and ensure accurate project level reporting in accordance with HUD Handbook 4370.2. 1. Enhanced Supervisory Review Management has implemented a mandatory supervisory review and approval process for all postings from the centralized operating account. Updated procedures require documentation supporting allocation decisions and verification that expenses benefit the appropriate project. Implementation Status: Implemented January 2026; ongoing. 2. Periodic Reconciliations Supervisory review of transactions are now performed to confirm that expenses are charged to the correct project. A periodic cross project allocation review has been established to ensure consistency and compliance with HUD requirements. Implementation Status: Implemented January 2026; ongoing. 3. Correction of Prior Year Misallocations A detailed review of prior year postings is underway to identify misallocated expenses. Adjusting journal entries will be recorded during Fiscal Year 2026 to reclassify expenses to the appropriate projects. Implementation Status: In progress; expected completion during FY 2026. 4. Improvements to Allocation Methodology and Coding Controls The address based allocation logic that contributed to the errors has been corrected. System controls now require project specific coding at the point of entry. Staff have received updated training on proper allocation procedures and HUD requirements. Implementation Status: Completed December 2025; training ongoing. Anticipated Completion Date: All corrective actions will be fully implemented by the end of Fiscal Year 2026.

Condition: The Organization has not deposited residual receipts account funds into accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Rather, such funds are deposited in cash accounts with a large brokerage firm and are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which is not a government agency. Auditors’ Recommendation: The Organization should transfer these balances to a participating financial institution. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: During the year ended June 30, 2026, the Organization plans to transfer the residual receipts reserve account funds to an FDIC-Insured certificate of deposit.
