Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: MLSC management acknowledges the finding and concurs in part. MLSC has an established Fixed Asset and Physical Inventory Policy in accordance with LSC Financial Guide § 3.6.2. The policy requires that a complete physical inventory be conducted at least once every two years, and MLSC has been performing these inventories regularly. However, management recognizes that the documentation of the most recent physical inventory was incomplete, specifically lacking the signatures, dates, and reconciliation notes required to demonstrate full compliance. Responsible person: Chief Fiscal Officer, Jocelyn Mallari Corrective action planned: To address this issue and ensure full adherence to the policy, MLSC, with the supervision of the Chief Fiscal Officer continued the implementation of Physical Inventory Procedures requiring a full physical inventory every two years, including proper documentation and reconciliation with the subsidiary ledger. To improve documentation, the Chief Fiscal Officer will conduct training to ensure that each future physical inventory count includes the date of the count, signature of personnel conducting the inventory, a witness and management reviewer, reconciliation records, and authorization and documentation for any write-offs or disposals. Anticipated completion date: June 30, 2026.
