VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS Management agrees with the finding and has initiated corrective actions to address each of the issues identified by the auditors. The Department of Education of Puerto Rico (PRDE) recognizes the importance of maintaining an accurate and up-to-date property inventory in accordance with federal regulations under 2 CFR §200.313(d), and is implementing measures to strengthen controls, ensure proper tagging, and monitor the location, use, and condition of all federally funded equipment. The Property Office has initiated a complete physical inventory to reconcile the existing property records with actual assets. All equipment custodians will be required to verify and certify their assigned inventory to ensure records are accurate and reflect current locations and responsible personnel. For deficiencies identified for the IDEA Cluster: Condition 1: For the item describing a three-person sectional sofa, which upon inspection corresponded to a five-burner stove, the Property Office corrected the equipment tag to ensure identification of both items. The correction was made directly on the physical assets to properly reflected the correct property numbers and descriptions. Condition 2: The item identified as not observed corresponds to software licenses that were distributed to teachers for instructional use. The Property Office maintains a detailed record identifying the licenses purchased, the specific equipment on which each license was installed, and the corresponding custodian. For deficiencies identified for the Education Stabilization Fund Programs: Condition 1: For the items that could not be observed during the auditors’ site visits, the Property Office will perform a follow-up investigation with the corresponding school to locate the equipment. Condition 2: The school where the air-conditioning unit is located has experienced electrical voltage issues, which have delayed its installation to prevent potential damage to the equipment. The situation is being addressed in coordination with the school’s maintenance team to correct the electrical problem. Once resolved, the PRDE will proceed with the installation. In parallel, the property office will consult with the corresponding federal program to evaluate the possibility of relocating the unit to another school where the equipment is needed and can be safely installed and used. Condition 3: This type of equipment is kept in the warehouse until a specific need is identified in a school facility. Once a school requests or is identified as requiring the equipment, the Property Office initiates the corresponding transfer, and the movement is duly documented and updated in the property management system.. this process ensures that equipment is allocated efficiently based on program needs and that all transfers are properly supported with documentation. Condition 4: The hydroponic nursery will be relocated to a school where it can be properly utilized for educational purposes. The Property Office, in coordination with the corresponding program, will verify the current condition of the equipment and perform the necessary repairs or adjustments to ensure it is fully functional and in use as intended. Condition 5: The Property Office has already identified a new school to which the Apple computer will be transferred to ensure it is properly utilized for educational purposes. The transfer will be completed om coordination with the corresponding program, and the property records will be updated accordingly to reflect the new location and custodian of the equipment. The PRDE is committed to correcting all deficiencies noted in the finding. All actions described above will be documented and reported as part of the corrective action plan, with an expected completion timeline within fiscal year 2025. These measures will ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and strengthen the overall management and safeguarding of federally funded property and equipment. IMPLEMENTATION DATE In process.

Finding Number: 2024-001 Equipment and Real Property Management (Internal Control and Compliance) Condition Our testing of the expenditures of Airport Improvement Program funds identified $192,000 of equipment purchased as part of the rehabilitation of the air traffic control tower. This equipment was recorded in the Authority's property records. However, the property records did not contain the required data elements noted above. Response/Planned Corrective Action We agree with the auditor’s findings and have already taken corrective measures to ensure compliance. Specifically, we conducted a full review of the Authority’s property records and updated the equipment entries associated with this project to include all required data elements. To strengthen compliance moving forward, we have created a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that mandates completion of all required data elements before any asset record is finalized. In addition, the SOP establishes a protocol for conducting periodic internal audits of property records to confirm accuracy, completeness, and adherence to federal requirements. These corrective actions have already been implemented, and the Authority will maintain ongoing oversight to prevent recurrence. Responsible Contact Person: Courtney K. Pittman Interim Executive Director, St. Johns County Airport Authority

Finding: 2024-044 - Auditors could not obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to verify compliance with FWC’s equipment and real property management requirements. Questioned Costs: Indeterminate Assistance Listing Number: 15.605, 15.611 Assistance Listing Title: FWC Views of Responsible Officials (state whether your agency agrees or disagrees with the finding; if you disagree, briefly explain why): ADFG agrees that the policy and procedure for management of equipment, real property, and capital improvements are insufficient. Corrective Action (corrective action planned): ADFG will establish procedures and training to ensure that all equipment, real property, and capital improvements are managed in strict compliance with federal requirements. For equipment management, ADFG will take the following actions: 1. Ensure capital and sensitive equipment is accounted for in IRIS through a fixed asset transaction (FN, FA, FM, FT. or FD). Centralized data in IRIS will streamline inventory management and compliance. The IRIS fixed asset intent (FN) transaction, implemented July 1, 2024, ensures all equipment is tied to the purchasing document for better tracking of funding source information. 2. Develop and implement standardized procedures for inventory management in IRIS in coordination with the Office of Procurement and Property Management, Department of Administration. This creates consistent and accurate inventory management practices across the department. 3. Create and distribute inventory logs for staff to use in remote locations to address challenges in retrieving inventory items during seasonal months.. This will result in enhanced field equipment tracking and timely identification of equipment needs or disposal. 4. Develop comprehensive training for staff involved in equipment management to ensure staff are well-trained and knowledgeable about inventory management procedures and compliance requirements. 5. Establish clear guidelines for the timely disposal of broken, failed, or obsolete equipment and ensure efficient and compliant disposal of unnecessary equipment. This will result in reduced storage and maintenance costs. For real property and capital improvement projects, ADFG will take the following actions: 1. Collaborate with Alaska Department of Natural Resources and United States Fish and Wildlife Services on land certification in the federal application TRACS. Post-certification, ADFG will develop tracking logs to ensure annual site visits occur. 2. Develop department policies and procedures to ensure real property is managed according to federal requirements as authorized in grant awards. Provide training to program staff and administrative staff on the Code of Federal Regulations requirements and proper management of departmental record-keeping logs, including site visit dates and file location for site visit notations.

Finding 2024-002 – Activities Allowed/Unallowed, Costs Principles and Period of Performance (Internal Controls Over Compliance) (Repeat Finding 2023-001) Condition: During our review of the Coalition’s disbursements related to the Title V major program, we examined 68 transactions for internal controls over compliance. 7 of the 68 transactions examined did not contain sufficient evidence that a review and approval process was completed prior to payment being processed. Corrective Action Plan: In response to the finding regarding insufficient internal controls over compliance for disbursements related to the Title V major program, the Nebraska Urban Indian Health Coalition (NUIHC) has previously taken several corrective actions to strengthen compliance, including: 1. Review and Revision of Policies and Procedures: NUIHC conducted a comprehensive review of internal control policies and procedures related to disbursements. Updates were made to ensure alignment with 2 CFR §200.313(a), and clear guidelines for review and approval processes were established. 2. Staff Training and Education: Training was provided to procurement and finance staff to ensure understanding of the revised procedures and federal compliance requirements, emphasizing the importance of proper approvals prior to disbursement. 3. Implementation of Standardized Approval Controls: A formal approval process and checklist system were implemented to ensure all disbursements are reviewed and approved by designated authorities before payment, with documentation retained for compliance. 4. Ongoing Monitoring and Internal Reviews: NUIHC began conducting quarterly internal compliance checks to verify adherence to updated procedures. Update and Continuation Plan: While these corrective actions were successfully implemented, the retirement of the former CEO temporarily stalled consistent oversight and reinforcement of these procedures. With new leadership in place, NUIHC is recommitting to the continued execution and monitoring of these corrective actions. Refresher training will be incorporated into ongoing professional development and onboarding for new staff, and quarterly internal audits will resume as scheduled. Timeline for Implementation: Corrective actions were initially implemented in 2024, and reinforcement activities—including staff refreshers and compliance monitoring—will continue a rolling basis starting July 2025. Responsible Party: Chief Financial Officer, Carlett Gregory Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing; reinforcement begins July 2025

The asset had a $0 value prior to the accident which initiated the disposal. Corrective Action Plan: The Harbor Department will enhance its written procedures on equipment disposals and provide training to appropriate Finance, Security, and Maintenance Division staff in FY 2025 to ensure compliance and timeliness in following equipment disposal procedures.
