COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO AUTONOMOUS MUNICIPALITY OF VEGA BAJA Corrective Action Plan For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 Audit Report: Reports on Compliance and Internal Control in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards and OMB Super Circular Uniform Guidance Audit Period: July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024 Fiscal Year: 2023-2024 Principal Executive: Hon. Marcos Cruz Molina, Mayor Contact Person: Mr. Edgardo Pérez, Department of Management, Administration and Budget Director Phone: (787)855-2500 Original Finding Number: 2024-003 Statement of Concurrence or Non concurrence: We concur with the finding. Corrective Action: In the quarterly reports (QPR), accumulated expenses are reported up to the closing date of each quarter. These expenses are assigned to the quarter in which the contractor invoices the completed work. However, in some cases, the payment is made in the quarter following the one in which the invoice was issued. This discrepancy may cause the expenses not to be accurately reflected in the quarter they were reported during the audit process. This situation will be addressed prospectively, and expenses will be assigned to the quarter in which the payment is made. Implementation Date: Fiscal Year 2025-2026. Responsible Person: José A. Torres Otero Program Accountant

The Municipality will establish additional procedures to maintain the schedule of the required reports in order to avoid this situation.

The City internally identify improvement opportunities in managing grants. As a part of the City’s grant oversight improvement efforts, the City began implementing various processes and internal controls surrounding grant monitoring, which improves the SEFA drafting process and mitigates risks of future inaccuracies. These efforts began in early 2024 and include the following: • Creation of a grant policy that provides City staff with guidance, information, and expectations surrounding grants. • Creation of a master grants database that lists the general ledger fund, applicable project ledger references, status, grant type, start/end dates, granting agency, pass-through agency, grant name, assistance listing numbers, grant amounts, and the grant manager for each grant. This database is now used to verify the completeness and accuracy of the SEFA (beginning FY24). • Formal quarterly monitoring. Each quarter, the City will formally review the grants database with department contacts and grant managers to verify the completeness and accuracy of the database. The City is formalizing this process and plans to include department signoffs evidencing the review process. If any items are missing, the missing component will be identified and added to the database on a timely basis. The City will also utilize this quarterly process to review the grants policy to ensure grant managers are aware of the requirements related to their grants. • The City is in the process of formalizing the SEFA drafting process utilized during the FY24 SEFA preparation, which includes additional mitigating procedures such as reviewing all next FY federal receipts to ensure none of them relate to the SEFA year federal expenditures. Personnel Responsible for Implementation: Marvin Lopez Position of Responsible Personnel: Deputy Administrative Services Director (Fiscal Services) Expected Date of Implementation: June 30, 2025
