Findings and Questioned Costs Relating to Federal Awards: Late Single Audit Submission, Reporting Management submitted single audit reports up to fiscal year 2022. In order to address the root cause for this finding, management performed the following actions: • Management audit contracts are followed up directly by CFO to ensure timely execution to ensure audits are timely completed and planned. • Management enhancements to the finance function, such as accounting closing checklists, accounting closing meetings and reconciliation processes, among other actions, should improve the timing of audit results. Additional resources (consultants) were hired to assist in the audit process to ensure external auditors have information on a timely basis. In order to ascertain that basic and recurrent information requested by auditors is ready, management prepared an updated list of information normally requested and prepared a OneDrive (cloud backup storage) where all information will be archived and ready to be delivered to the auditors as requested. This should provide the efficiency and agility to response to auditors in a timely manner. Management expects to achieve full compliance of pending Single Audit reports’ issuance on or before August 2024.

Findings and Questioned Costs Relating to Federal Awards: Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), Reporting DEDC’s Finance Department with the assistance of the Human Resources Department submitted the FFATA Reports that were not filed in previous years, in order to get current in the FFATA reporting requirements during the month of September 2022. Thereafter, DEDC has been able to submit FFATA reports as required. In DEDC Reporting SOP, the submission deadlines have been established, as well as the personnel responsible for its completion. To fully mitigate the finding, an SOP related solely to FFATA reports was prepared and implemented, including the following details: parties responsible for preparing and submitting reports, management oversight in the process and the process to ensure timely submission as per requirements. The SOP details responsible parties with proper segregation of duties for preparation and review and DEDC’s oversight to ascertain quality and timeliness of submittals. The SOP was shared with Finance and Programmatic resources and a training session was provided to all parties involved in the procedure. These activities were completed during the month of May 2023, which should significantly enhance controls for subsequent periods.
