The Comptroller of Puerto Rico issued a qualified opinion on the operations of the computerized information systems of the Highway and Transportation Authority of Puerto Rico. A qualified opinion is issued when the noncompliance items, individually or together, are significant, but not pervasive.
The Report reveals that the Authority had paid $542,691 for the application and implementation of the AvantGard Integrity program with no benefit. Three years after the signing of the contract in 2014, the Authority was not using the Integrity application because it had not received the training and proceeded to cancel the contract. This situation prevented the Authority's Treasury Office from having a system in operation to carry out the automated transactions that would connect investments with daily banking needs.
The two-finding audit also notes that 55% of the invoices issued by the company for the Integrity program contract lacked the required certification. The regulations provide that contractors' invoices must contain the information that no Authority employee has interests in the profits arising from the contract, that the amount is correct and that the services were rendered and have not been paid.
This Report, the second and last for the Authority, covers the period from January 1, 2014 to September 15, 2017.
