2025-002: Inadequate Controls Related to Wage Rate Requirements Condition: Of the five contracts included within major program 20.205 in the current year, two were subject to the wage rate requirement. These two contracts accounted for $1.9M of the $4M total program expenditures. In total there were 13 weeks of payroll included within the two contracts, of which three were selected for testing. The internal control failure occurred due to the timing of the invoices in relation to year end close procedures. Payment was accelerated to capture both the expense and cash outlay within the same fiscal year overlooking the need to confirm the receipt of the certified payrolls. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: Prior to submitting any invoices that are reimbursable with federal funds, the accounting staff will verify in writing that the vendor’s certified payrolls have been received and reviewed. Additionally, a newly created Federally Funded Invoice and Payment Compliance Checklist form has been created. This form will be completed and submitted with the approved invoice for payment. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Mark Rozum, Treasurer/Comptroller Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: The corrective action has already started and will be fully implemented within 30 days in response to the auditor’s recommendations.

Findings – Federal Award 2025-002 Finding Audited Financial Statements Late Filing – Noncompliance and Significant Deficiency in Controls Over Compliance Context: The Organization did not file the audited financial statement and related reports before their specified due dates. Management did not meet the year-end reporting due dates required by funders and regulations. Recommendation: The Organization should review the program requirements and implement contingency plans to ensure that year-end reporting requirements are met. The Organization personnel should communicate with funders throughout the year to ensure that the federal programs are properly identified and any changes in funding mix are received and documented contemporaneously. This will allow the Organization to provide timely and accurate information for the annual audit. Action Taken: As a subrecipient of braided Federal/non-Federal funding, MHAO is wholly reliant on accurate revenue confirmations from our State and County funders. Corrective Action: All contracts are now reviewed by the Finance Director and Senior Financial Analyst for ALN numbers, and stored centrally in the finance drive. Responsible Official: Zach Brooks, Finance Director Planned Completion Date: June 30, 2026.

Juan C. García Padilla, Mayor Contact Person: Mrs. Miraisa David Esparra, Finance and Budget Director Phone: (787) 825-1150 Original Finding Number: 2025-005 Statement of Concurrence or Non concurrence: We concur with the finding. Corrective Action: We concur with the audit finding. The Municipality did not comply with the required direct service spending percentage due to the limited availability of direct service providers under the program’s Child Care Network (Red de Cuido) division. As a result, only 10 children were enrolled, compared to the 18 originally budgeted. This situation ultimately led to the elimination of the Child Care Network division in the 2025-2026 proposal, as the program required a minimum of 10 service providers, a threshold that could not be met due to the lack of available personnel.

COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO MUNICIPALITY OF COAMO Corrective Action Plan For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Audit Report: Reports on Compliance and Internal Control in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards and OMB Super Circular Uniform Guidance Audit Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Fiscal Year: 2024-2025 Principal Executive: Hon. Juan C. García Padilla, Mayor Contact Person: Mrs. Miraisa David Esparra, Finance and Budget Director Phone: (787) 825-1150 Original Finding Number: 2025-004 Statement of Concurrence or Non concurrence: We concur with the finding. Corrective Action: We acknowledge and accept the observation noted during the Single Audit regarding the frequency of monitoring visits and the completion of monthly evaluations for participants in the Housekeeper Program. We understand that, according to the program’s activity procedures guide, staff are expected to conduct at least two visits per month to each participant’s housing unit and to complete a monthly evaluation of the services provided. However, we would like to provide additional context regarding the operational realities of the program. The assigned Program Coordinator is responsible for overseeing approximately 20 program participants, which would require a minimum of 40 home visits per month to fully comply with the two-visits-per-month requirement. Considering that there are, on average, 20 working days per month, this expectation represents a significant workload within the available time. In addition to conducting home visits and preparing the corresponding reports, the coordinator performs a wide range of essential duties. These include supervising and addressing situations involving approximately 20 housekeeper aides, coordinating services and referrals with external agencies to meet participants’ social needs, organizing meetings, managing administrative responsibilities such as procurement of supplies used by the aides, and participating in program-related administrative meetings. We can attest that the coordinator consistently demonstrates a high level of commitment and diligence in fulfilling these responsibilities. Priority is given to participants with more complex or urgent needs, and in such cases, visits may occur more than once per month. However, meeting the requirement of two visits per month for every participant presents a significant challenge given the scope of responsibilities assigned. We remain committed to evaluating our processes and identifying opportunities to strengthen compliance while ensuring the continued quality and effectiveness of services provided to program participants. Notwithstanding these challenges, we will continue making every effort to comply with the requirements established in the CDBG guidelines. Implementation Date: March 31, 2027 Responsible Person: Mr. Hector R. Sanjurjo Rodríguez Federal Programs Director

Finding 2025-002 – Reporting (Internal Controls Over Compliance) Impact Aid Applications Significant Deficiency Condition: We did not receive back up documentation to support the Children with Disabilities figures on both the Elementary and High School Impact Aid applications. Questioned Costs: None. Criteria: Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR section 200.303 (Internal Controls), effective internal controls require the entity to establish and implement written policies and procedures. These policies must ensure that disbursements are supported by adequate documentation, demonstrating proper authorization, accuracy, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Cause: Lack of retention of documents used to support the figures that were presented in the Elementary and High School Impact Aid applications. Although the review and approval of the Impact Aid applications was noted as being performed, the lack of retention of supporting documentation relating to the applications does not support reperformance. Effect: The School District was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance, which could lead to sanctions by the funding agencies. Recommendation: We recommend the entity strengthen internal controls over the review of the impact aid application and the retention of documents used to complete the Impact Aid applications. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur that data submitted by previous school administration was not verifiable. The District has since taken steps to ensure that all CWD student data is submitted to Impact Aid timely and accurately and date used from the Special Ed Dept at the school via reports submitted to the Office of Public Instruction.

During fiscal year 2025, differences were identified between amounts reported on the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) and the District’s finalized accounting records due to yearend adjustments recorded after submission of the report. The District recognizes the importance of ensuring reported amounts reconcile fully to underlying accounting records and acknowledges that additional coordination between Business Services and Financial Aid is necessary to strengthen reporting accuracy. To address this finding, the District will undertake the following actions: 1. Develop a formal reconciliation process between the general ledger, student financial aid reporting, and FISAP submissions prior to report filing. 2. Establish documented timelines to ensure year-end accounting adjustments are evaluated and incorporated into federal reporting, when applicable. These actions are intended to improve reporting accuracy, strengthen interdepartmental communication, and ensure compliance with federal reporting requirements under the Student Financial Assistance Cluster.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 and 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions - Reasonable Rent Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: Reasonable Rent. The Authority must do the following: The Authority must determine that the rent to owner is reasonable at the time of initial leasing. Also, the Authority must determine reasonable rent during the term of the contract (a) before any increase in the rent to owner, and (b) at the HAP contract anniversary if there is a 5 percent decrease in the published Fair Market Rent in effect 60 days before the HAP contract anniversary. The Authority must maintain records to document the basis for the determination that rent to owner is a reasonable rent (initially and during the term of the HAP contract) (24 CFR sections 982.4, 982.54(d)(15), 982.158(f)(7), and 982.507). Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and discussion with management, the Authority did not have procedures or software in place to perform the required evaluation of rent reasonableness. Context: There were approximately fifteen(15) newly leased units in the Emergency Housing Vouchers Program. Of a sample size of two (2) newly leased units in the Emergency Housing Vouchers Program, two (2) unit's documentation of reasonable rent was not available for examination. Our sample size is statistically valid. Known Questioned Costs: Unknown Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. The Authority experienced high turnover and did not properly train employees in the HCV department, which resulted in the Authority having a limited capacity to perform rent reasonableness calculations and properly maintain and monitor a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance with program requirements. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the special tests and provisions type of compliance related to reasonable rent. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority establish a software and implement a process whereby Authority personnel are hired and trained on performing the appropriate rent reasonableness procedures that will reasonably assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: The Authority has recognized the deficiencies in the Section 8 Housing Voucher Cluster Programs and will train staff on rent reasonableness and implement internal control procedures that will ensure compliance with federal regulations. Malcom Isler, HCV Program Director/Interim Deputy Executive Director is responsible for ensuring proper internal controls are in place to prevent significant deficiencies and material weaknesses from occurring and is expected to be completed by July 31, 2026.

Finding 2025-007: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 and 14.EHV Noncompliance – N. Special Tests and Provisions – HQS Enforcement Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Special Tests and Provisions Criteria: HQS Enforcement. The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets the Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the Authority must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report (24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b)). For units that fail inspection the PHA must correct all life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours and all other deficiencies within 30 days. If deficiencies are not correcting in the required time period, the Authority must abate housing assistance payments in accordance with their admin plan. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority’s files and on discussions with management, the Authority did not provide support for two (2) failed inspections. Context: Of a sample size of two (2) failed inspections, the Authority did not provide support for two (2) failed inspections selected for testing, and did not abate housing assistance payments for the two (2) units selected. As a result, the Authority was not in compliance with the HQS as required by 24 CFR sections 982.158(d) and 982.405(b).
