VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS We are resolving these deficiencies by leveraging the new Government ERP system, scheduled for launch in July 2026. This platform will provide the essential functionality to properly configure our Chart of Accounts, ensuring that all TANF and PTTA administrative expenditures are automatically segregated by federal award and Assistance Listing Number (ALN). This system will be the foundation for accurate, traceable, and reconcilable financial reporting, supported by robust internal controls and multi-level supervisory oversight. Action Steps: 1. ERP Chart of Accounts Configuration – Configure the ERP system with a granular Chart of Accounts that strictly segregates TANF and PTTA administrative expenditures, ensuring every transaction is coded to the correct federal grant and ALN. 2. Automated Reporting Workflow – Utilize the ERP's financial reporting modules to generate ACF-196TR reports directly from the General Ledger, ensuring reported expenditures are 100% traceable to source transactions. 3. Digital Reconciliation Workpaper – Require the ERP to generate an automated "Reconciliation Package" for every ACF-196TR submission, which links reported line items directly to General Ledger accounts, eliminating discrepancies. 4. Staff Training & ERP Stabilization – Execute comprehensive training for all finance staff on the new ERP accounting structure, reconciliation modules, and federal reporting requirements, ensuring the system is utilized for full audit compliance.

Burgos Auxiliary Administrator for Finance and Budget Carlos Martinez Colón Finance Director Vanessa Ayala Gerena Director of Budget

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADFAN appreciates the observations presented in the audit and acknowledges the importance of strengthening its reporting processes. The agency recognizes that staffing limitations within the Finance Division have affected the ability to perform timely reviews and ensure adequate segregation of duties. Additionally, the Finance Procedures Manual referenced during the audit was approved in 2009 and is currently undergoing a comprehensive revision to reflect the agency’s present operational structure and accounting practices. ADFAN is committed to improving its internal controls, enhancing staff training, and implementing the necessary measures to ensure full compliance with federal reporting requirements moving forward. IMPLEMENTATION DATE December 31, 2026 RESPONSIBLE PERSON Yazmín Cruz Colón, Budget Director

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADSEF is committed to establishing a comprehensive internal control framework. We are prioritizing the development of formal written policies, the standardization of regional data reporting, and the implementation of a rigorous oversight system to ensure all TANF programmatic reports are complete, accurate, and filed on time. Action Steps: 1. Revise the Protocol of “TANF – Reporting Procedures Manual" that defines the full data lifecycle: collection, regional validation, quality control, supervisory review, and submission. 2. Regional Standardization – Establish mandatory, standardized templates for all regional offices to report programmatic data, ensuring uniformity and minimizing data entry errors. 3. Reporting Calendar & Oversight – Implement a master’s "Federal Reporting Calendar" that tracks all due dates for ACF-199, ACF-209, and other reports, with automated alerts sent to management 30 days prior to submission. 4. Training & Certification – Launch a mandatory training curriculum for all staff involved in reporting, focusing on 45 CFR Part 265 standards, data accuracy, and the consequences of reporting failures.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS To resolve this, we are integrating these reporting requirements into the new Government ERP system, scheduled for launch in July 2026. This platform will provide the capability to generate accurate General Ledger data and automated financial reports, ensuring that all LIHEAP performance data is traceable to verified accounting sources and subject to multi-level supervisory approval workflows. Action Steps: 1. ERP-Driven Financial Reporting – Configure the ERP system to generate General Ledger reports that align precisely with LIHEAP financial data requirements. The ERP will serve as the "Single Source of Truth," eliminating discrepancies between accounting and reporting. 2. Automated Reconciliation Workflows – Utilize the ERP’s native reconciliation engine to automatically match expenditure records against reported LIHEAP budget obligations, ensuring figures are accurate and validated before submission. 3. Segregation of Duties (SOPs) – Formalize protocols where the ERP system enforces mandatory "Preparer-Approver-Certifier" roles. This ensures that performance data compiled by program staff is independently validated against ERP financial records by a supervisor. 4. Training on ERP Reporting – Train all staff on how to use ERP reporting modules for financial data extraction and the new protocols for reconciling this data with programmatic LIHEAP performance metrics.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS To resolve these systemic issues, the Government of Puerto Rico is transitioning to a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, scheduled for live launch in July 2026. This modern platform will centralize our financial data and provide the necessary automation to ensure that all federal reports are accurate, traceable to source documentation, and subject to multi-level supervisory approval workflows. Action Steps: 1. ERP Implementation & Workflow – Deploy the new ERP system to centralize all financial accounting. The system will be configured to require distinct user roles for the preparation, review, and certification of federal reports. 2. Automated Traceability – Utilize ERP reporting tools to ensure all administrative expenditures are linked to valid source documentation (e.g., invoices, payroll registers), providing a clear audit trail from report to General Ledger. 3. Implement report validation tool – No federal report may be submitted until an independent, designated official has digitally validated the report against source accounting records. 4. Reconciliation SOPs – Formalize a written SOP requiring monthly reconciliations of reported federal expenditures against the ERP database. These reconciliations will be retained as evidence of review for audit purposes. 5. Training & Accountability – Conduct mandatory training for all staff on new reporting workflows and the importance of segregation of duties, ensuring all personnel understand their responsibility in maintaining accurate financial data.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADFAN concurs with the finding. The agency acknowledges the requirement to maintain written procedures in accordance with 2 CFR §200.302, including procedures related to cash management and the determination of allowable costs under federal awards. The condition identified was impacted by limited staffing resources within the Finance Area, which affected the timely completion and formalization of the required written procedures. In addition, the Finance Procedures Manual is currently under review and revision to ensure compliance with Uniform Guidance requirements and to strengthen internal controls over federal programs. As corrective action, ADFAN is completing the update and formalization of the Finance Procedures Manual, which will incorporate the written procedures required by Uniform Guidance. Upon completion, the revised manual will be formally approved, communicated to relevant personnel, and implemented across the agency. Management will also continue assessing staffing needs and resource allocation within the Finance Area to support the ongoing maintenance and monitoring of financial policies and procedures.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS ADSEF acknowledges the findings regarding weaknesses in the Random Moment Sampling (RMS) methodology used for allocating administrative costs. We conclude that the absence of formal written procedures, combined with insufficient communication between the Human Resources Appointments Office and the Finance Division, has contributed to inaccuracies in the distribution of administrative expenses across federal programs. ADSEF reaffirms its commitment to strengthening its cost allocation plan to ensure that only allowable costs, directly associated with the administration of federal awards, are charged to the TANF program, in strict compliance with 2 CFR §200.302. Action Steps: 1. Policy Formalization Develop, approve, and implement a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that formalizes the RMS methodology, including clear and standardized definitions for all survey response categories. 2. HR–Finance Liaison Establish a structured monthly reporting protocol between the Human Resources Appointments Office and the Finance Division to ensure the RMS participant list remains accurate, complete, and current. 3. RMS Questionnaire Update Revise the RMS questionnaire to remove non-federal program selections and ensure that all response options align directly with federally allowable functions. 4. Quarterly Oversight Institute a mandatory quarterly review of RMS results by senior management to validate alignment between RMS survey data and accounting system allocations IMPLEMENTATION DATE March 31, 2027 RESPONSIBLE PERSON Eddie J.
