The Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico issued a qualified opinion of the operations of the Computerized Information Systems of the State Insurance Fund Corporation. A qualified opinion is issued when the individual or aggregate noncompliances are significant, but not pervasive.
The audit reveals that the Corporation invested $225,360 to implement the e-Roster register with the purpose of automating personnel transactions and centralizing the history of positions, among other functions. After the expiration of the contracts in 2011, the Corporation documented 80 observations to correct in the system, and reported that the simultaneous operation of all the modules of the e-Roster system was not achieved. In 2018 the associate director and the associate sub-director of information systems certified that the e-Roster system was not implemented.
This second two-finding report also notes that the Corporation disbursed $408,594 for the implementation of the Master Data Management system to automate the data of employers and persons, and to support the insurance and medical care operations at the Industrial Hospital, the regional offices and the dispensaries. In 2014 the Corporation decided to halt the project. These situations, contrary to what is established in the applicable laws, regulations and policies, did not allow the Corporation to obtain the expected benefits. Audit Report TI-04-9 of May 8, 2004 had commented on similar situations.
The Report indicates that since 2015, the Corporation had not renewed the annual subscription of the Medi-Span system, necessary to update the information of prescription medications, nor did it acquire the maintenance services for the E-post Rx and OneArk Suite systems for the Integrated Pharmacy Information System. These situations could prevent the exercise of effective, documented and secure control of the dispensing and inventory control, after an investment of $4,747,803 in these systems.
This second and final report covers the period from June 23, 2010 to January 31, 2018.
