VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS We wish to clarify that the Puerto Rico Department of the Family does not maintain a standalone accounting system but rather records all financial transactions directly in the Puerto Rico Integrated Financial Accounting System (PRIFAS), the centralized accounting platform hosted by the Puerto Rico Treasury Department. Consequently, it is not necessary for PRDF to “update its accounting practices” or “implement” a new financial management system, since PRIFAS already provides a comprehensive and reporting framework that meets state and local agreement requirements. However, it is important to mention that the Certified Fiscal Plan for 2024, certified by the Financial Oversight and Management Board (FOMB), in Section 3.1.7.5, explicitly prioritizes the implementation of an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to further centralize and streamline financial management across Commonwealth agencies. Once deployed, this ERP will enhance financial transparency, unify budgeting and procurement processes, support real-time transaction recording, and deliver centralized reporting consistent with public sector accounting standards, thereby addressing the core objectives of this finding. IMPLEMENTATION DATE Awaiting system implementation. RESPONSIBLE PERSON Office of the Secretariat and Administrations
