exercises for their realization and payment, the Support can be reaffirmed charged to the budget of the fiscal exercise in which the support is processed,

as long as there is budgetary availability.

When the provisions of these Rules of Operation are not met, FIRA may suspend the granting of supports to the

final beneficiary.

Requests or requirements for support that imply the interpretation of these Rules of Operation will be channeled through

the promotion areas, who will coordinate the responses and notify the applicant.

The amounts of supports referenced to UDIS mentioned in these Rules of Operation must be converted to national currency, using the value of the UDI published for January 1st of the fiscal exercise in which the support is authorized.

In supports where foreign companies participate that provide services to the target population, payment for their services can be

made in another type of currency and with the receipt issued by the company.

FIRA may allocate for operational expenses up to 2% of the resources assigned annually to this Program, for

contracting of services that contribute to promotion, operation, and follow-up, as well as control and evaluation of the program's supports, including the contracting of training services directed at FIRA personnel as well as for other events of institutional interest.

RIGHTS, SANCTIONS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES

4.2.1.

GENERAL APPLICATION

The supports granted under these Rules of Operation will be exclusively destined for the purposes established

in them; consequently, applicants are obligated to apply them only for the purposes contemplated in them.

Beneficiaries and applicants for this program must comply with the provisions established in these Rules of Operation.

Applicants shall have the right to demand fair treatment, regardless of the type of person or gender applying; in exchange, they must comply with the requirements and conditions established in these Rules of Operation.

FIRA may reject the requested support when the following situations arise:

a. When the applicant provides false or altered information or documentation to prove compliance with eligibility requirements.

b. When the applicant manages support through an attorney-in-fact with negative records with FIRA.

c. When the supplier that will provide services to the applicant has negative records with FIRA.

d. When the result of the consultation with SAT, INFONAVIT, and/or IMSS is not positive.

FIRA may request the return of support already granted plus a financial cost equivalent to twice the Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (TIIE) for funding compounded over 28 days as determined by FIRA, published by the Bank of Mexico in effect during the period and during the term of non-compliance, and suspend the granting of new support, when the following situations arise:

a. Providing false or altered information or documentation to prove the destination of the granted support.

b. Providing false or altered documentation to obtain the respective support.

c. Impeding or not providing facilities for inspection or verification acts by FIRA personnel, other authorized instances, and those designated by FIRA to perform this task.

d. Diverting the support for purposes other than those for which it was granted and/or having invested it partially.

e. For support in Reduction of Financial Costs and Price of Guarantee Service, if the Financial Intermediary and/or the applicant do not capture in a complete and correct manner, within the established time, the list of accredited or final accredited parties, the support is cancelled for the part or proportion of the credit or support attributable to the accredited or final accredited parties not registered correctly.

When any of the above causes occur, FIRA will request the return of the support plus the financial cost, granting a period of up to 30 business days to make the return; the mentioned period will begin to count from the date they receive the notification. After regularizing this situation, the beneficiary may again be eligible for support.

The period to make the return may be extended at the request of the applicant only once for up to 90 additional natural days to the initial period. After that, in case the return is not made, the office will turn the case over to FIRA's legal area.

For the case of Support for Reduction of Financial Costs and Price of Guarantee Service, when the beneficiary is again up to date with their financial obligations, they may be eligible for support for subsequent financings.

In cases where applicants, legal or natural persons, final beneficiaries and/or external specialized service providers, to whom the regulatory non-compliance is attributable, do not make the return within the aforementioned period, FIRA will proceed to register them in its eligibility controls, so that the suspension in the granting of new support continues.

Likewise, when it is identified that some process was carried out incorrectly and is not attributable to the applicants or beneficiaries or external specialized service providers, such as refunds of support or payments inconsistent with what was programmed and/or budgeted, or incorrect captures of support or incomplete or incorrect documentation for the disbursement of support, deaths, among other causes, if necessary, the return of the support will be requested without requiring a financial cost or registering those involved in the eligibility controls.

The support provided for in these Rules of Operation will not be granted to natural or legal persons who have caused damage or loss, due to any credit operation, to Development Banking Institutions, the National Financial Institution for Agricultural, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries Development, or public trusts constituted by the Federal Government. This prohibition applies to applicants for any support, as well as to those who request resources to provide such applicants with the goods or services object of the support provided for in these Rules of Operation.

Applicants for support, who have caused damage or loss to Development Banking, the National Financial Institution for Agricultural, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries Development, or public trusts constituted by the Federal Government, whose current balance is less than the equivalent to 1,000 UDIS, will be eligible to receive support from FIRA, complying with the other requirements established in these Rules of Operation.

For this purpose, from the date of publication of these Rules in the Official Journal of the Federation, FIRA must consult on the Internet page established for this purpose by the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit, whether the applicant has caused damage or loss to Development Banking Institutions, the National Financial Institution for Agricultural, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries Development, or public trusts constituted by the Federal Government; and therefore cannot receive support. This will be done prior to power and authorization of the applicant, through the format presented as Annex 1.

Development Banking Institutions, the National Financial Institution for Agricultural, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries Development, and public trusts constituted by the Federal Government must inform FIRA of the relevant matters through the Internet page indicated in the previous paragraph, no later than three business days following the request they receive. If the information is not provided within such period, it will be understood that the applicant has not caused damage or loss to said entities.

For the case of support where the consultation of credit information societies is available, this may be used as proof of the consultation.

UNACCruED RESOURCES

In view of the fact that the fiscal resources assigned in the DPEF to FEGA are transfers for financial investment, these are considered patrimonial resources, so their return to the Treasury of the Federation does not apply.

AUDIT, CONTROL, AND FOLLOW-UP

The resources that the Federation grants through FIRA's Support Programs may be reviewed by the Secretariat of Public Function, the Superior Audit Office of the Federation, the Treasury of the Federation, and other instances that are competent within the scope of their respective attributions.

The SFP may conduct audits through its central areas or the Internal Control Body (OIC).

When audits are carried out by the central areas of the SFP, it will inform the results to the Executive Instance and entrust its follow-up to the OIC.

In the case of audits carried out by the OIC, the results obtained, valid, significant, and duly founded, will be communicated at the end of each of the reviews to the Executive Instance, and quarterly to the SFP through the information system established for this purpose.

The follow-up to the implementation of recommendations made to remedy the observations determined, will be carried out in accordance with the annual work program of the OIC.

From the results of the audits and reviews, in cases where their importance warrants it, knowledge will be given to the USVP.

In cases where there is probable responsibility in the observations determined, it will be sent to the responsibilities area for the corresponding procedure.

In the same sense, a roll of Financial Intermediaries that participate in the distribution of government support of the Program, or in their case, as beneficiaries of these, will be integrated.

Both rolls and their updates will be sent to the SFP and will be integrated into the Quarterly Report, based on what is established in the LFPRH and the guidelines of the Integral System of Information of Rolls of Government Programs.
