Number Criteria RecommendaƟon Management Response Person (s) Responsible Timeline Finding Number 2022-004 Federal programs: All Major programs Category: Internal control / Compliance 2 CFR secƟon 200.512 (a)(1) establishes that the audit must be completed and the reporting required by paragraph (b) (1) of this section submiƩed within the earlier of 30 calendar days aŌer receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months aŌer the end of the audit period. Unless restricted by Federal law or regulaƟon, the auditee must make report copies available for public inspecƟon. Auditees and auditors must ensure that their respective parts of the reporting package do not include protected personally idenƟfiable information. Data Collection Form and Single Audit reporting package shall be submiƩed by the established due date. The Entity had a hard time securing an audiƟng firm in Puerto Rico that understands the services the organization provides, as charter schools legislation is new on the island. Also, due to COVID-19 the auditing firms that we approached could not take on new clients due to employees shortage. All of this led to delays. The company has engaged a reputable CPA firm in Puerto Rico and now is working to alleviate the delay in completing the single audit. Yusein Durakov (CFO) Brenda Ortiz (Business Specialist) By July,2025 data collection and single audits reporting package will be submited. This makes the entity current. A schedule of submiƩals will be added to the SOP and monitored by the Board of Governors.

For recipients and subrecipients other than States, payment methods must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the Federal agency or the pass-through entity and the disbursement of funds by the recipient or subrecipient regardless of whether the payment is made by electronic funds transfer or by other means. See § 200.302(b)(6). Except as noted in this part, the Federal agency must require recipients to use only OMB approved, government-wide information collections to request payment. The management of the Instuitution should reinforce its cash management procedures and internal controls to ensure the disbursement of funds in the required tme frame. Advance payment requests are done under the advance method to cover anticipated cash needs. The Federal drawdowns are requested by the Finance Office on a monthly basis and Drawdowns are based on budget forecasting and subrecipient encumbrances. All procedures for drawdowns were handled most efficiently and with proper accounting standards. However, there are instances that took more than five days to make the payments to some vendors because of invoices being received late, missing information, management resolved the issues with the vendors but the time it takes is longer than the five days. The finance department now is monitoring the upcoming expenditures and making the reimbursement request closely to the date of payments due to the vendors. Yusein Durakov (CFO) Brenda Ortiz (Business Specialist) Procedures have been implemented
