An action plan includes the County Auditor’s office/System Administrator streamlining the revenue coding and creating a template for a more user-friendly format and cross training purposes. The County Auditor’s office/System Administrator is working with the software company to interface the system into the main software to have less data entry by the County Treasurer’s office, thus preventing errors. Scheduling for cross training from the County Auditor’s office to the County Treasurer’s office has been requested. We plan to accomplish this during the Summer of 2022. The County Auditor’s office has met with the Departments as well as the County Treasurer’s office to develop a “revenue sheet” for each department which has each revenue and liability with the corresponding general ledger account numbers. Each department will fill this in and send to the Treasurer’s office. This will be directly recorded by the County Treasurer’s office. The County Auditor’s office is also looking into the ability to upload data from the other departments.

We expect to have this integration by the end of 2024.

As of 2017, the Puerto Rico Treasury Department decreed that all government agencies are required to submit their financial statement for review before making it official. Part of this requirement is based on the fiscal situation of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Due to the fiscal crisis, the government is currently restructuring its obligations in an orderly manner under Title III of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) of the United States Congress.

These new requirements, as mentioned above, are extremely rigorous and have an impact on the delay in the completion of the reports.
