The Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico issues a favorable opinion with exceptions on the fiscal operations related to the revenues and accounts receivable of the General Services Administration of the Government of Puerto Rico (ASG).
The two-finding audit notes that due collection efforts were not made for $21.2 million in debts issued since 1998 —although they are recorded as dated 2005—. Contrary to Regulation 44 on Existing Non-Tax Debts, collection efforts were not properly made, no register of pending invoices was kept, and more than half of the accounts had been pending collection for five years.
Plan 3-2011 provided that a payment plan be formalized for every agency, corporation, or municipality that had a pending debt with the ASG. However, the purpose of the plan was not met due to the lack of communication with the legal areas of the debtor entities to establish the payment plan requirement, the lack of written mechanisms and procedures, and the failure to impose administrative fines for noncompliance with the plan, among other reasons.
The Report covers the period from January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2016.
