Audit context

What the response says and how it was assessed

Response says

Partly disagrees; accepts the November 2024–April 2026 billing crisis but denies it continues and disputes the proposed fiscal-transfer connection.

Audit analysis

Pages 26–27 attribute the crisis to software purchase and rollout, claim current monthly billing and distinguish catch-up bills from double charging. July 14 payment-plan action is cited. These are agency explanations, not independently verified billing outcomes.
