Corrective Action Plan

We agree with the auditors’ finding and understand the importance of timely audits. We recognize that this issue has largely occurred due to two shortcomings: lack of capacity and management of audit specific workbooks in real-time. In 2023 the finance/accounting department was expanded to ensure audits are completed within the allotted time frame.
