The firms behind the government's financial platform are being called to account: officials of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited and Ethree Solutions (E3) are summoned to a public hearing today over the ERP system that has left thousands of central-government suppliers unpaid for months.[^1] [^2] [^3]

Senate Vice President Carmelo Ríos Santiago scheduled the appearance for 10:30 a.m. in the María Martínez hearing room and is demanding the companies explain their roles in the platform's development, selection and implementation.[^4] [^5] [^6] [^7] Deloitte was central to the ERP program's adoption and implementation, and the inquiry proceeds under Senate Resolution 429.[^8] [^9] The summons grew out of a hearing last Thursday in which Education Department officials confirmed the ERP has delayed invoice processing for services rendered, with the fallout reaching programs that depend on federal funds.[^10] [^11]

The backlog behind the hearing is large and documented. The Fiscal Oversight Board authorized an extension to Oct 31, 2026 for the government to process 62.1 million in committed fiscal-2026 obligations — a delay request from the Office of Management and Budget attributed to the ÍntegraPR system transition.[^12] [^13] [^14] Education and Health together hold more than 08 million of the 35.4 million in pending obligations that came from systems other than the old PRIFAS platform.[^15] [^16]

The platform at the center of it is Íntegra PR, launched Jul 8, 2026, with Deloitte running the project since 2018 and E3 Consulting handling user training.[^17] [^18] [^19] By Aug 19, 2026, 2,920 open ERP issues were logged across 53 agencies, and the PPD delegation had publicly denounced millions in delayed payments to suppliers and employees.[^20] [^21] La Fortaleza convened a special group — drawing staff from the Governor's office, Hacienda and OGP — in mid-September to attack the payment delays and platform faults.[^22] [^23]
