COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN MUNICIPALITY OF NARANJITO FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 Audit Report: Reports on Compliance and Internal Control in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards and 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards Audit Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Fiscal Year: 2024-2025 Principal Executive: Hon. Orlando Ortíz Chevres - Mayor Contact Person: Mrs. Meyleen Hernández, Finance Director Phone: (787) 869 – 2200 Finding Reference Number: 2025-003 Federal Award: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (Assistance Listing No. 21.027) Compliance Requirement: Reporting (L) Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency (SD), Instance of Noncompliance (NC) Description of Finding: In our Reporting Test, we evaluated the Project and Expenditure Report submitted to the U.S. Department of Treasury during fiscal year 2024-2025. During our audit procedures, we identified differences between the amounts reported as current period expenditures, and the amounts recognized in the accounting system. Additionally, during the fiscal year the Municipality received new funds called Service of Excellence to Citizens also related to the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Program. This allocation was granted through the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority. In our Reporting Test, we evaluated six (6) reports and could not validate their submission. Auditor’s Recommendations: We recommend training for the authorized personnel who administer the program, to better understand the reporting requirements and prepare timely reports. The Municipality should establish a monitoring system to ensure compliance with requirements established by the passthrough agency such as: submitting the reports during the required time frame and where the fund expenses will be reported as incurred. This will ensure better control of the program. Corrective Action: The authorized personnel understand the reporting requirements. We are in the process of training additional personnel to have more resources to comply with all reporting requirements. The Finance Department is working with external consultants to address this situation, and be able to comply with all reports as required.
