Commission on Audit
Dumaguete City
Madam:
In compliance with Section 2, Article IX-D of the Philippine Constitution and

pertinent section 43(2) of Presidential Decree No. 1445, we have conducted a Financial
and Compliance Audit on the accounts and operations of the Municipality of Manjuyod,
Negros Oriental for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The audit was conducted to ascertain the propriety of financial transactions and
compliance of the municipality to prescribed rules and regulations. It was also made to
ascertain the accuracy of financial records and reports, as well as the fairness of the
presentation of the financial statements.
Our report consists of four (4) parts. Part I presents the Audited Financial
Statements, Part II are details of our significant Findings and Recommendations which
were discussed with concerned management officials and staff during the exit conference
on February 25, 2015, Part III presents the Status of Implementation of Prior Years
Audit Recommendations and Part IV contains the Annexes.
As discussed in Part II of this report the municipality once again did not conduct a
physical count of its movable property, plant and equipment valued in the books at
P52,707,812.82 at year end, thus rendering their validity, existence and accuracy
doubtful. The inadequacy of the LGUs records did not allow us to apply appropriate
alternative audit procedures to verify the validity and correctness of these accounts.
Likewise, the failure of management to require the liquidation of the cash advances
granted to officers and employees resulted in the overstatement of the receivable account
and understatement of expense account by P3,325,838.51.
In our opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have
been determined to be necessary, had management conducted the physical count of its
inventories and movable properties, plant and equipment and liquidated the cash
advances as required, the financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all
material respects the financial position of the Municipality of Manjuyod as of December
31, 2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing

Standards (GAAS) and we believe that it provides a reasonable basis for the results of the
audit.
Very truly yours,
MARIFE A. ALCALA

AUDITORS OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In our opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have
been determined to be necessary, had management conducted the physical count of its
movable properties, plant and equipment andliquidated the cash advances as required, the
financial statements referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects the financial
position of the Municipality of Manjuyod as of December 31, 2014 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A. FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE
1. The validity, physical existence and condition of movable Property, Plant and
Equipment amounting to P52,707,812.82 as of December 31, 2014 cannot be
ascertained due to the non-conduct of physical inventory and incomplete records
of the Treasury and Accounting Offices in violation of Sections 114, 199 and 124
of the NGAS Manual of LGUs.
We reiterate our recommendations that:
a. The local chief executive immediately require the conduct of the physical
inventory count and submission of a report thereon to the audit team.
b. The accountant and treasurer maintain the ledger cards and property
records, respectively, as required by existing regulations.
c. The results of the annual physical inventory be reconciled with the

accounting and property records and the necessary adjustments made so
that these records will agree with the actual count and the related accounts
will thus be presented fairly in the financial statements.
2. Cash advances totaling P4,410,632.48 drawn by the Disbursing Officer for the
payment of salaries, wages, honoraria and similar expenses were not supported
with copies of the approved payrolls or list of payees indicating their net payments
as required under COA Circular No. 2012-001 dated June 14, 2012 thus allowing
the Disbursing Officer to draw more than the net amount, thereby exposing
government funds to risk of loss through defalcation.
We recommend that:
a. The Municipal Accountant to see to it that the cash advance

voucher is supported with a list of approved payrolls.
iii
b. The Municipal Accountant certify that previous cash advances
have been liquidated and accounted for in the books before
granting an additional cash advance.
c. The Disbursing Officer immediately refund the excess amount of

the cash advance granted.
d. The Municipal Accountant follow the proper account codes in the

recording of transactions and preparation of financial statements
per Accounting Circular Letter No. 2007-02 dated January 9, 2007.
3. The grant of CY 2014 Productivity Enhancement Incentive of P26,800.00 each to

the municipal officials and employees exceeded the amount of P5,000.00 allowed
under Executive Order No. 80 dated July 20, 2012 as implemented by Budget
Circular No. 2013-3 dated November 21, 2013 resulting to an overpayment of
P2,398,000.00.
We recommend that management require all employees concerned to refund the

overpayment of Productivity Enhancement Incentive for CY 2014 and to
henceforth observe strictly the applicable regulations on the grant of any fringe
benefits.
4. A total of P3,325,838.51 in cash advances remained unliquidated as of December

31, 2014 in violation of COA Circular No. 97-002 dated February 10, 1997,
thereby exposing government funds to possible loss or misappropriation .
We reiterate our recommendations contained in the CY 2013 AAR that:
a. The Accountant issue demand letters to officials and employees

concerned for the immediate submission to the accounting office of the
liquidation reports and supporting documents so that the municipal
accountant can prepare the journal entries to record the settlement of
their outstanding cash advances.
b. The Municipal Accountant determine the correct breakdown of cash

advances amounting to P1,132,837.23 (as to payees and amount) and
issue demand letters for the settlement thereof.
5. Project implementation of the TUPAD program amounting to P899,175.00 cannot

be verified because the locations of the projects were not indicated in the
documents submitted thus project accomplishment remains doubtful.
iv
We recommend that:
a. The Municipal Engineer should submit accomplishment reports of

projects undertaken under the TUPAD program indicating the locations
thereof.
b. The disbursing officer should ensure that wages are paid to actual
workers of the project.
6. Disbursement Vouchers (DVs) totaling P260,632.42 were not supported with

complete documentation contrary to Section 138 of the Government Accounting
and Auditing Manual, Volume I, thus validity of the transactions made cannot be
determined.
Require the Municipal Accountant to ensure that disbursement vouchers are

complete with supporting documents pursuant to Section 138 of the GAAM,
Volume I in order to establish the validity of the transactions made.
B. Gender and Development
Appropriation for Gender and Development (GAD) for CY 2014 of P65,000.00 is

below the required level of at least 5% of the municipalitys total budget or
P4,793,400.00 as required under Section 2.3 of PCW, NEDA and DBM Joint
Circular No. 2012-01, thus hindering the attainment of GAD goals.
We recommend that management appropriate at least five percent (5%) of the total
budget for Gender and Development pursuant to Section 2.3 of Joint Circular No.
2012-01 of the Philippine Commission On Women (PCW), National Economic
And Development Authority (NEDA) and the Department of Budget and
Management (DBM).

Honorable Felix A. Sy, M.D.

Municipal Mayor
Municipality of Manjuyod
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet of the

Municipality of Manjuyod, Negros Oriental as of December 31, 2014, and the related
Consolidated Statements of Income and Expenses and Cash Flows for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Manjuyod municipal
governments management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, COA and INTOSAI

standards and applicable Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. It also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As discussed in Part II , as in the previous year, the municipality did not

conduct a physical count of its movable property, plant and equipment valued in the
books at P52,707,812.82 at year end, rendering their validity, existence and accuracy
doubtful. The inadequacy of the LGUs records did not allow us to apply appropriate
alternative audit procedures to verify the validity and correctness of these
accounts.Likewise, the failure of management to require the liquidation of the cash
advances granted to officers and employees resulted in the overstatement of the
receivable account and understatement of expense account by P3,325,838.51.
1
In our opinion, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might
have been determined to be necessary had management conducted the physical count
of its movable properties, plant and equipmentand caused the liquidation of cash
advances as required,the financial statements referred to, present fairly, in all material
respectsthe financial position of the Municipality of Manjuyod as of December 31,
2014 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

PART II -DETAILED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
PART II - DETAILED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A Financial and Compliance Audit was conducted on the accounts and operations
of the Municipality of Manjuyod, Negros Oriental for the calendar year 2014. The audit
was conducted to ascertain the propriety of the financial transactions and compliance of
the agency to prescribed laws, rules and regulations. It was also made to ascertain the
accuracy of the financial records and reports, as well as the fairness of the presentation of
the financial statements.
Our examination consisted of the verification of records on a test basis, review of

operating procedures, interview with concerned officials and employees, analysis of
accounts and such other procedures necessary in the circumstances.
FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE
1. The validity, physical existence and condition of Property, Plant and Equipment
amounting to P52,707,812.82 as of December 31, 2014 cannot be ascertained due
to the non-conduct of physical inventory and incomplete records of the Treasury
and Accounting Offices in violation of Sections 114, 119 and 124 of the NGAS
Manual of LGUs.
Section 124 of the New Government Accounting System (NGAS) Manual for
LGUs, Volume 1 calls for the local chief executive to require the periodic physical
inventory of supplies or property and the submission of the report thereon to the
auditor concerned. Physical count of property, plant and equipment by type shall be
made annually and reported on the Report of the Physical Count of Property, Plant
and Equipment (RPCPPE). This shall be submitted to the Auditor concerned not later
than January 31 of each year.
Section 114 of the New Government Accounting System (NGAS) Manual for
Local Government Units, Volume 1, requires the Chief Accountant to maintain the
perpetual inventory records comprising the Supplies Ledger Cards (SLC) for each
commodity/stocks, Property, Plant and Equipment Ledger Cards (PPELC) for each
category of Plant, Property and Equipment and Work/Other Animals and Breeding
Stocks Ledger Cards (WOABSLC) for each type of livestock.
Such ledger cards shall contain the details of the property, plant and
equipment and livestock account in the inventory control accounts in the ledger. The
Municipal Treasurer shall likewise maintain stock cards and property cards for
supplies, property, plant and equipment, and work animals in their custody to account
14
for the receipt and disposition of the same. The balance per stock/property cards
should always reconcile with the ledger cards of the accounting unit.
As of December 31, 2014, the financial statements of the municipality showed

that out of the net balances of Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) of
P176,822,113.82 there are movable assets amounting to P52,707,812.82 or 29.81%
consisting of the following:
Office Equipment, Furniture and

Fixtures P 5,098,050.73
Machineries and Equipment 34,853,382.48
Transportation Equipment 12,085,390.80
Other Property, Plant and Equipment
670,988.81
Total P52,707,812.82
In view of the LGUs inability to conduct the physical inventory count, the
existence of the fixed assets recorded in the books cannot be effectively ascertained.
In addition, the movable properties enumerated above which are highly susceptible to
the risk of loss or even obsolescence, may no longer be existing or may have been
rendered unserviceable. Furthermore, no physical count has been conducted for so
many years now that the existence of these properties could not be established and
they continue to be shown in the books even if they may no longer be actually
existing. Thus, the amounts presented in the financial statements may no longer be
reliable.
We also noted that the Municipal Accountant did not maintain the required
property/ledger cards for PPE. It is necessary that complete subsidiary records in the
prescribed form be maintained in order to provide reliable and detailed information
for the fixed asset accounts thus facilitating the conduct of the required physical count
and subsequent reconciliation with the books.
Despite repeated recommendations, the LGU still did not conduct the
physical count of inventories and movable assets. Therefore, we are again reiterating
this prior years observation because the failure to conduct the physical inventory
count and the neglect to maintain property/ledger cards affects the fairness of
presentation of the related asset accounts in the financial statements at year-end. The
conduct of physical inventory count is necessary to ascertain the existence, physical
condition, valuation, and reliability of the assets owned by the municipality.
We could not also effectively perform adequate alternative procedures to

check the reliability of the property, plant and equipment account balances due to
insufficiency of records on supplies and property.
15
Management Comment:
The local Chief Executive had already signified the strict implementation of
the physical inventory and has ordered the chairman of the inventory committee, Mr.
Antonio Academia, Local Civil Registrar to mobilize the group as soon as possible
and to re-organize its members so that conflict of schedules and unavailability of
personnel will be avoided.
We reiterate our recommendations that:
1. The local chief executive immediately require the conduct of the physical
inventory count and submission of a report thereon to the audit team.
2. The accountant and treasurer maintain the ledger cards and property
records, respectively, as required by existing regulations.
3. The results of the annual physical inventory be reconciled with the

accounting and property records and the necessary adjustments made so
that these records will agree with the actual count and the related
accounts will thus be presented fairly in the financial statements.
2. Cash advances totaling P4,410,632.48 drawn by the Disbursing Officer for the
payment of salaries, wages, honoraria and similar expenses were not supported
with copies of the approved payrolls or list of payees indicating their net
payments as required under COA Circular No. 2012-001 dated June 14, 2012
thus allowing the Disbursing Officer to draw more than the net amount, thereby
exposing government funds to risk of loss through defalcation.
COA Circular No. 2012-001 dated June 14, 2012 enumerates the documentary
requirements for common government transactions.
Section 1.1 of said COA Circular lists the following documentary requirements
common to all cash advances except for travels:
- Authority of the accountable officer issued by the Head of the Agency or

his duly authorized representative indicating the maximum accountability
and purpose of cash advance (for initial cash advance)
- Certification from the Accountant that previous cash advances have been
liquidated and accounted for in the books
- Approved application for bond and/or Fidelity Bond for the year for cash
accountability of P2,000 or more
16
Additional Documentary Requirements
- Xxx
- Approved Payroll or list of payees indicating their net payments
- Xxx
Our examination of disbursement vouchers for the period April 1-30, 2014 and
July 1-31, 2014 disclosed that all disbursement vouchers covering cash advances for
salaries, wages and allowances were not supported by documents, contrary to the
above-stated regulations (see Annex 1).
We noted, in particular, the absence of list of payees or copies of the approved

payrolls to be paid, which is the basis for the amount of cash advance to be granted to
the Disbursing Officer. The amount of cash advances should be equal to the net
amount of the payroll, any excess should be refunded immediately by issuing an
official receipt or before the grant of another cash advance.
The drawing of cash advances in excess of the approved payrolls to be paid

contravenes Sec. 1.1.1 of the same circular which states that:
1.1.1 Payroll Fund for Salaries, Wages, Allowances, Honoraria and Other
Similar Expenses
The cash advance for payroll fund shall be equal to the net amount of the
payroll for the pay period. (Underscoring supplied)
Lastly, it was also observed that the cash advances were recorded to the account
Cash Disbursing Officer (103) instead of Payroll Fund (106) as required under COA
Accounting Circular Letter No. 2007-02 dated January 9, 2007.
Management Comment:
Recommendations were well taken. Presently, the new Disbursing Officer (DO)
had already complied with the requirement to attach a listing of approved payroll to
support the cash advance voucher.
We recommend that:
a. The Municipal Accountant to see to it that the cash advance voucher is

supported with a list of approved payrolls.
17
b. The Municipal Accountant certify that previous cash advances have been
liquidated and accounted for in the books before granting an additional
cash advance.
c. The Disbursing Officer immediately refund the excess amount of the cash
advance granted.
d. The Municipal Accountant follow the proper account codes in the

recording of transactions and preparation of financial statements per
Accounting Circular Letter No. 2007-02 dated January 9, 2007.
3. The grant of CY 2014 Productivity Enhancement Incentive of P26,800.00 each to

the municipal officials and employees exceeded the amount of P5,000.00 allowed
under Executive Order No. 80 dated July 20, 2012 as implemented by Budget
Circular No. 2013-3 dated November 21, 2013 resulting to an overpayment of
P2,398,000.
DBM Budget Circular No. 2013-3 dated November 21, 2013 prescribed the
guidelines for the grant of Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI) to government
employees for FY 2013 citing Senate and House of Representatives Joint Resolution
(JR) No. 4 series of 2009. JR No. 4 which provides that incentives for government
personnel shall include rewards for exceeding agency financial and operational
performance targets, and to motivate employee efforts toward higher productivity.
Among the incentives is the PEI, authorized by the President of the Philippines for
those in the Executive Branch and the LGUs.
Section 1.3.1 of the said Budget Circular, quoting Section 1.a of E.O No. 80,
states that Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI) in the amount of P5,000.00 xxx
shall continually be granted across-the-board, in accordance with guidelines to be
issued by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
Under Section 5.1 of DBM Budget Circular No. 2013-3, those who are covered
by this Circular are the civilian government employees occupying regular,
contractual, or casual positions; appointive or elective; rendering services on a full-
time or part-time basis.
Section 5.2 of said DBM Budget Circular provides, among others, the
conditions/guidelines for the grant of the PEI, as follows:
1. X xx
2. The employees have rendered at least a total or an aggregate of nine (9)
months of satisfactory service for the year, including leaves of absence with pay, to
18
be entitled of the full amount of the PEI. Those who have rendered less than the total
or aggregate of nine (9) months of service shall be entitled to pro-rated PEI, as
follows:
Length of Service (No. of Months) Percentage of the PEI, as follows:
Length of Service (No. of Months) Percentage of the PEI

7 to 8 months 90%
5 to 6 months 70%
3 to 4 months 50%
1 to 2 months 30%
Less than 1 month 10%
Audit revealed that Municipal Officials and employees were granted PEI of
P26,800.00 each or a total of P2,948,000.00 which exceeded the amount of P5,000.00
allowed by DBM No. 2013-3 resulting to an overpayment of P2,398,000.00 (Annex
11).
The limitation of P5,000.00 was clarified by the COA Legal Services Sector in its
communication dated December 18, 2013 to the Provincial Governor of Bulacan. It
stated that for 2013, the governing rule on the payment of the PEI at a maximum of
P5,000.00 is DBM BC No. 2013-3 dated November 21, 2013, which implements
Executive Order (E.O.) No. 80 dated July 20, 2012.
Section 1 of EO No. 80 provides that the PEI, in the amount of P5,000.00, shall
continue to be granted across-the-board, in accordance with the guidelines to be
issued by the DBM.
The term across-the-board has been defined as embracing all classes or

categories without exception or affecting everyone or everything equally or
proportionately.
It further states that the DBM could not grant a greater amount to the LGUs than
what is mandated by the President of the Philippines to be uniformly paid to other
government agencies. DBM BC No. 2013-3 should not prevail over that of Executive
Order No. 80 since EO No. 80 is the source of DBM BC No. 2013-3. The rule in
statutory construction that in case of conflict between the basic law and its
implementing rules, the former will prevail.
19
Management Comment:
The above observation was well noted by management during the discussion in
the exit conference on February 25, 2015. The Local Executive promised to make an
appeal upon receipt of notices of disallowance on the granting of Productivity
Enhancement Incentive (PEI).
Recommendation:
We recommend that management require all employees concerned to refund the

overpayment of Productivity Enhancement Incentive for CY 2014 and to
henceforth observe strictly the applicable regulations on the grant of any fringe
benefits.
4. A total of P2,014,270.39 in cash advances remained unliquidated as of December

31, 2014 in violation of COA Circular No. 97-002 dated February 10, 1997,
thereby exposing government funds to possible loss or misappropriation .
COA Circular No. 97-002 dated February 10, 1997 prescribes the rules and
regulations on the grant, utilization and liquidation of cash advances and provides,
among others, as follows:
Sec. 4.1.2 -No additional cash advances shall be allowed to any official or
employee unless the previous cash advance given to him is first settled or a proper
accounting thereof is made.
Sec. 4.1.3 -A cash advance shall be reported on as soon as the purpose for which
it was given has been served.
Sec. 5.1.3 -The AO shall liquidate his cash advances as follows:
Official travel within sixty (60) days after return to the Philippines in the case
of foreign travel or within thirty (30) days after return to his permanent official station
in the case of local travel x xx.
Our review of the report of Unliquidated Cash Advances as of December 31,

2014 submitted to the audit team disclosed the existence of a substantial amount of
unliquidated cash advances totalling P2,014,270.39 of which the amount of
P1,132,837.23 or 56.24% is aged over 10 years already as shown below (please see
Annex III for detail):
20
Aging of Accounts Amount %
Less than 1 year P 166,912.00 8.29
Over 1 year to 5 years 229,375.00 11.38
Over 5 years to 10 years 485,146.16 24.09
Over 10 years 1,132,837.23 56.24
Total P2,014,270.39 100%
This condition is indicative of the agencys non-compliance with the aforecited

regulations because the said analysis show that these cash advances have been
outstanding for more than thirty (30) days already.
In addition, cash advances in a staggering amount of P1,132,837.23 were

balances before CY 2005.The accountable persons cannot be identified by the current
Municipal Accountant because the draft of lists they had retrieved from the files did
not tally with the trial balance for CY 2004. The Accounting Office has yet to
determine the breakdown of the said cash advances since there was no schedule turned
over by the former Municipal Accountant Designate.
As discussed during the exit conference on May 19, 2014 relative to the
calendar year 2013 Annual Audit Report, the Municipal Accountant committed to
send another set of demand letters, but to date, said copies of demand letters were not
received by the audit team.
This finding was contained in the CY 2012 and CY 2013 annual audit reports
but we are again reiterating this observation because, up to this date, the management
had not yet done the reconciliation with regard to the discrepancy.
Although management had already stopped the practice of granting cash

advances to officials and employees unless the previous cash advances are liquidated,
compliance to the above provisions is still wanting.
Various factors which may also have contributed to the accumulation of these
outstanding cash advances in the books could be the lack of regular review and
monitoring on the unliquidated cash advances; the non-submission of liquidation
reports for travels already completed; the failure of officials and employees to refund
excess cash advances; the failure to refund cash advances for travels which were
cancelled; and the delayed verification of the liquidation reports submitted by the
accountable persons which resulted to the delayed recording thereof in the books.
21
Management Comment:
The Municipal Accountant explained that they had already sent demand letters
last December 22, 2012. Management promised to send another demand letters, copy
of which shall be furnished the audit team. She further promised strict compliance on
the submission of liquidation reports and to deduct those that require refund of the
same.
We reiterate our recommendations contained in the CY 2013 AAR that:
1. The Accountant issue demand letters to officials and employees

concerned for the immediate submission to the accounting office of
the liquidation reports and supporting documents so that the
municipal accountant can prepare the journal entries to record the
settlement of their outstanding cash advances.
2. The Municipal Accountant determine the correct breakdown of cash

advances amounting to P1,132,837.23 (as to payees and amount) and
issue demand letters for the settlement thereof.
5. Project implementation of the Tulong Pangkabuhayan sa Ating Disadvantaged

Workers (TUPAD) program amounting to P899,175.00 cannot be verified
because the locations of the projects were not indicated in the documents
submitted thus project accomplishment cannot be validated.
TUPAD is a project for the disadvantaged workers by the Department and

Employment (DOLE) in partnership with the Municipality of Manjuyod which aims to
provide short-term wage employment as immediate source of income to the
beneficiaries in the Municipality of Manjuyod.
In our review of the disbursements for the implementation of the TUPAD project
of the municipality, we noted that the location of the project is not indicated in the
Program of Employment and Order to Work nor in any of the documents submitted.
The Inspection Report (Annex 1V) also does not show the location of the work
inspected. Accomplishment reports were also not submitted.
The projects implemented cannot be validated because accomplishment

reports were not submitted and the locations were not indicated in the documents
submitted thus implementation of the projects remains unverified.
22
Also, verification of the payrolls revealed that some signatures of the claimant
of wages do not match with that of the signatures reflected in the DTR giving doubts if
the wages are paid out to the actual workers. A summary of doubtful signatures is
attached as Annex V.
Management Comment:
The municipality had already submitted the accomplishment reports for the
TUPAD project last February 25, 2015 during the exit conference. These reports were
attested by the different barangay officials where the projects were located. Pictures
taken during the implementation of the project were also attached to the
accomplishment reports in support thereof.
Management inquired from the disbursing officer and the wages were indeed
claimed by the laborers, however, discrepancies were noted due to the irregularities in
their penmanship since some workers were having difficulties in writing. They opined
that based on experience, laborers who are not keen in writing usually reveal different
strokes when required to write. However, they are still requesting the disbursing
officer to advice the claimants to sign according to their usual stroke as much as
possible. They had also supported photocopies of the community tax certificates
bearing the signatures of some laborers to support and also have some basis of
comparison with the signatures reflected on the payroll and the daily time record.
We recommend that:
The Municipal Engineer should submit accomplishment reports of projects

undertaken under the TUPAD program indicating the locations thereof.
The disbursing officer should ensure that wages are paid to the actual workers of
the project.
6. Disbursement Vouchers (DVs) totaling P260,632.42 were not supported with

complete documentation contrary to Section 4(6) of P.D. 1445, thus validity of the
transactions made cannot be determined.
Government transactions should be supported with complete documents properly

approved by the authorized officials pursuant to Section 4(6) of P.D. 1445 quoted on
the next page:
23
Section 4. Fundamental principles Financial transactions and
operations of any government agency shall be governed by
the fundamental principles set forth hereunder, to wit:
Xxx
(6) Claims against government funds shall be supported

with complete documentation. xxx
Relative to the aforementioned principle, the Commission on Audit has

promulgated many regulations especially insofar as documentation requirements are
concerned.
One of the basic supporting documents for government disbursements is the

evidence of receipt of payment. As stated in COA Circular No. 2004-006 dated
September 9, 2004, the objective of examining the evidence of receipt of payment is to
establish that funds disbursed have actually been received by the payee. The pre-
printed Official Receipt (OR) is the traditional document recognized as evidence of
receipt of payment for disbursements of government agencies. However, considering
that this traditional mode is not applicable to certain situations, the same COA Circular
already expounds the types of evidences of receipt of payment into paper based or
electronic, depending on the prevailing circumstances.
Our examination of the disbursement vouchers for the period April 1 to 30, 2014
and July 1 to 31, 2014, revealed that several transactions totaling P260,632.42
(AnnexVI) were not supported with basic documents required to establish the validity
of the claims.
As gleaned from the Annex, lacking documents include the following:
a. Inspection and Acceptance Report

b. Program of Work
c. Project Accomplishment Report
d. Activity Design
e. Waste Material Report
f. Acknowledgement Receipt of Equipment
g. Official Receipt
Management Comment:
Recommendations were well taken. Management took note of the above

observation to ensure compliance in future transactions.
24
Recommendation:
Require the Municipal Accountant to ensure that disbursement vouchers are

complete with supporting documents pursuant to Section 138 of the GAAM, Volume
I in order to establish the validity of the transactions made.
B. GENDERAND DEVELOPMENT
7. Appropriation for Gender and Development (GAD) for CY 2014 of

P65,000.00 is below the required level of at least 5% of the municipalitys
total budget or P4,793,400.00 as required under Section 2.3 of PCW, NEDA
and DBM Joint Circular No. 2012-01, thus hindering the attainment of GAD
goals.
Section 2.3 of Joint Circular No. 2012-01 of the Philippine Commission On

Women (PCW), National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and the
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) states that Pursuant to the MCW and
the General Appropriations Act (GAA), all government departments, including their
attached agencies, offices, bureaus, state universities and colleges (SUCs), government-
owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs), local government units (LGUs) and other
government instrumentalities shall formulate their annual GPBs within the context of
their mandates to mainstream gender perspectives in their policies, programs and
projects. GAD Planning shall be integrated in the regular activities of the agencies, the
cost of implementation of which shall be at least five percent (5%) of their total
budgets. The computation and utilization shall be implemented in accordance with the
specific guidelines provided therein.
Gender and Development (GAD) is an approach that focuses on how social,

economic, political and cultural forces determine how differently women and men
participate in, and benefit from, and control resources and activities for development. It
recognizes the different roles, responsibilities, expectations, interests, needs, and
contributions of men and women in society and integrates these gender concerns in the
development planning process. GAD recognizes women as agents of development and
not merely as passive recipients of development assistance.
The allocation of funds for implementation of the GAD Plan is a statutory

requirement that must be complied by the provinces, cities, municipalities and
barangays. The Philippine Plan for Gender-Responsive Development (PPGD) 1995-
2025 which was adopted through Executive Order (EO) No. 273, provides specific
services that must be implemented for women in relation to the services stipulated in
RA 7192 or the Women in Development and Nation Building Act. Moreover, EO 273
25
(Approving and adopting the PPGD) mandate agencies, including LGU to
institutionalize GAD in government by incorporating GAD concerns in their planning,
programming and budgeting process.
Total appropriations of the municipals general fund in CY 2014 amounted to

P95,868,000.00. 5% thereof amounts to P4,793,400.00. However, its Gender and
Development Plan had a total budget of P65,000.00 (AnnexVII), a far cry from the
required amount.
In our review of their CY 2014 GAD Accomplishment Report, we have

observed that they implemented the Plans/Projects/Activities (PPA) indicated in GAD
Plan except for the evaluation of GAD PPAs for CY 2014. The meager amount
allocated for GAD would hinder the attainment of GAD objectives of gender responsive
governance, protection of womens human rights and the promotion of womens
economic empowerment.
Management Comment:
The requirement of the appropriation for Gender and Development (GAD) has
been fully implemented in CY 2015. Management promised to implement the approved
GAD plan this calendar year 2015.
We recommend that management appropriate at least five percent (5%) of the total
budget for Gender and Development pursuant to Section 2.3 of Joint Circular No.
2012-01 of the Philippine Commission On Women (PCW), National Economic And
Development Authority (NEDA) and the Department of Budget and Management
(DBM).
