Annual audit reports of various LGUs are now up on the COA website and I am appalled, but not surprised:

1 Cork Board - P34,000
2 kgs Onion - P29,000
50 bags of plastic cellophane - P131,000
1 TB External Hard Drive - P72,000
1 gallon cooking oil - P6,000

OK LANG KAYO?

Add:
1 pc Certificate Holder - P4,557.60
1 pc Ballpen - P569.75
1 ream Bond Paper - P7,226.93
1 pc Yale Padlock - P3,337.10
1 sack of rice - P9,984.82
1 box of nails - P45,315.00

For everyone who's asking, my source is the actual website for the Commission on Audit where they uploaded the pdf of Iligan's 2018 Annual Audit Report.

This is the link: https://www.coa.gov.ph/index.php/local-government-units/2018/category/7677-cities

COA: "The principles of transparency...in government procurement was not observed and further renders the transactions irregular and illegal."

Also COA: "Our evaluation...showed that the City Government has been consistent in complying with laws, rules, and regulations..."

Um

Disclaimer: I'm not an accountant much less an audit expert. I don't know all the technicalities of auditing or government procurement so this thread of tweets is more than open for your expert insight and feedback. I am more than open to be educated and corrected.

Peace & love
