VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS We are resolving these deficiencies by leveraging the new Government ERP system, scheduled for launch in July 2026. This platform will provide the essential functionality to properly configure our Chart of Accounts, ensuring that all TANF and PTTA administrative expenditures are automatically segregated by federal award and Assistance Listing Number (ALN). This system will be the foundation for accurate, traceable, and reconcilable financial reporting, supported by robust internal controls and multi-level supervisory oversight. Action Steps: 1. ERP Chart of Accounts Configuration – Configure the ERP system with a granular Chart of Accounts that strictly segregates TANF and PTTA administrative expenditures, ensuring every transaction is coded to the correct federal grant and ALN. 2. Automated Reporting Workflow – Utilize the ERP's financial reporting modules to generate ACF-196TR reports directly from the General Ledger, ensuring reported expenditures are 100% traceable to source transactions. 3. Digital Reconciliation Workpaper – Require the ERP to generate an automated "Reconciliation Package" for every ACF-196TR submission, which links reported line items directly to General Ledger accounts, eliminating discrepancies. 4. Staff Training & ERP Stabilization – Execute comprehensive training for all finance staff on the new ERP accounting structure, reconciliation modules, and federal reporting requirements, ensuring the system is utilized for full audit compliance.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS The Department of the Family and PR-DDS acknowledge the audit finding regarding the differences identified between the balances reported on Form SSA-4513, the PRIFAS accounting records, and the supporting documentation for unliquidated obligations. To address this issue, the following corrective actions will be implemented: 1. Monthly meetings will be held between the Department of the Family’s Finance staff and PR-DDS administrative and fiscal personnel to review and monitor all outstanding obligations and any differences identified between the PRIFAS records and the reports prepared for the Social Security Administration (SSA). 2. A formal monthly reconciliation will be performed between the balances reported on Form SSA-4513 and the financial records maintained in PRIFAS. Any discrepancies identified will be analyzed, documented, and supported with appropriate evidence. 3. Differences between the PRIFAS records and valid obligations that are not reflected in the system will be explained and documented in the comments section of Form SSA-4513, as applicable. 4. The review process for unliquidated obligations will be strengthened through periodic evaluations to identify obligations that should be modified, liquidated, or canceled in accordance with SSA requirements. 5. Written internal procedures will be developed for the preparation, review, and approval of Form SSA-4513, including the retention of supporting documentation necessary to substantiate the reported balances. Management further notes that certain obligations related to Medical Evidence of Record (MER) and Applicant Travel (AT) are authorized and monitored by PR-DDS before the related disbursements occur. These obligations are not recorded in the PRIFAS accounting system until payment is processed by the Special Payments Office (OPE). As a result, temporary differences may exist between the balances reflected in PRIFAS and the unliquidated obligations reported on Form SSA-4513. To address this situation, PR-DDS and the Department of the Family’s Finance Office have established a monthly reconciliation process to identify, document, and explain all temporary differences between PRIFAS records and the obligations maintained by PR-DDS. In addition, any significant differences will be properly disclosed and explained in the comments section of Form SSA-4513 and supported by the appropriate documentation. IMPLEMENTATION DATE The monthly meetings and formal reconciliation process began during Fiscal Year 2026 and will continue an ongoing basis.

Corrective Action: The Foundation acknowledges that the 2024 single audit reporting package was not submitted by the September 30, 2025 deadline under 2 CFR 200.512. This delay resulted directly from the challenges detailed in Finding 2024-001. Significant accounting turnover delayed year-end reconciliations and SEFA preparation. The Foundation has implemented substantial corrective actions to address root causes and ensure future timeliness. As outlined in the response to Finding 2024-001, comprehensive SOPs now govern financial close, revenue/deposit processing, reconciliations, payroll, fiscal sponsorship financial management, and fund setup. These promote consistent monthly GL reconciliations, accurate/timely transaction recording, strong documentation, and efficient inter-departmental coordination. Supporting improvements include standardized monthly reporting, system integrations reducing manual work, clear responsibilities and timelines in SOPs, and emphasis on procedural continuity to mitigate transition risks. The Foundation is completing remaining 2024 items and committed to submitting the package promptly. With the enhanced control environment, the 2025 close and audit will be completed well within required timelines. Ongoing training, procedure reviews, and oversight by the Finance Director and Fiscal Sponsorship Manager will sustain compliance. By these actions, the Foundation has remediated the conditions and is positioned to meet all future single audit deadlines while maintaining strong fund stewardship. Person Responsible: Justin O’Shea, Finance Director Completion Date: Corrective action was completed as of December 31, 2025
