The Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico issued a qualified opinion on the fiscal operations of the Office of Services to Former Governors attached to the Office of Management and Budget (OGP). A qualified opinion is issued when the instances of noncompliance, individually or in the aggregate, are significant but not pervasive.
The Report reveals deficiencies related to the payments of leave accrued for vacations. For example, the computation made for a special assistant who had a 4-hour daily workday was incorrectly adjusted to a 7.5-hour daily workday, for which she was paid $2,394 less for the period examined. Another employee received $291 less as a settlement after his resignation, since in the calculation, the holidays of December 24 and 31 without charge to any leave were not taken into consideration. These situations resulted in a lower payment to the former employees in their settlements and could have fostered unnecessary judicial actions.
The two-finding audit also notes deficiencies in the purchase of tires since, in 33% of the requests, the contract in force formalized with the General Services Administration (ASG) for these services was not used. The OGP made the purchases with a provider outside the contract with the ASG and paid $720 in excess. In addition, in 13% of the requests for services and repairs, it included the acquisition of tires that were not available in the contracts granted by the ASG, for which it was required to request the three quotes.
This Report covers the period from January 1, 2017 to October 31, 2021.
