SIGNIFICANT OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summarized below are the significant findings together with their corresponding
recommendations:

I. Financial and Compliance Audit

Property, Plant and Equipment

1. The non-reconciliation of the accounting records and the Report on the Physical
Count (RPC) of the City’s Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) with a net
variance amount of Php35,152,845.69 affects the fair presentation of the balance
on the affected PPE accounts in the financial statements as of year-end.

It is recommended for the City Accountant’s Office and the City General Services
Office to reconcile their records pertaining to the City’s property, plant and
equipment.

Property, Plant and Equipment Account

2. Error in recording and the inability of the Accounting Office to reclassify


completed projects to their appropriate Property, Plant and Equipment account
affect the fair presentation of the balance of the Construction in Progress account
amounting to Php284,765,819.32 in the financial statements as of year-end.

We recommended for the City Accountant to effect the necessary adjustments in


the books to rectify the erroneous entry made.

We also recommended the City Accountant to secure the list of completed


infrastructure projects from the implementing offices concerned to serve as basis
in making the necessary adjustments in the books for the reclassification or
transfer of the completed projects from the Construction in Progress account to
their appropriate PPE accounts or public infrastructure registries.

It is also recommended for the management to instruct the offices involved in the
implementation of the City’s infrastructure projects to periodically submit a status
report on the projects being undertaken to the City Accountant’s Office that
would appraise the latter facilitating the necessary adjustments in the books to
reclassify the completed projects as included in the Construction in Progress
account.

iv
Inventories

3. Failure of the agency to properly account the purchase of various supplies during
the year and maintain its inventory records affect the fair presentation of the
balance of the Inventory account amounting to Php13,157,583.95 in the financial
statements as of year-end.

During the exit conference, the management explained that they do not have
enough manpower for the implementation of the recommendations, but will still
strive to implement the same.

The City Accountant assured the audit team that he will immediately make the
necessary adjustments for the reclassification of the Medical, Dental, and
Laboratory Supplies Inventory (160) account amounting to Php325,000.00 to its
appropriate Property, Plant and Equipment account.

Due to Other Funds (424) account

4. The inappropriate use of the Due to Other Funds (424) account resulted to the
irregularity of its balance amounting to Php1,457,372.74 and thereby affects
the fair presentation of the payable account in the financial statements as of
year-end.

We recommend for the City Accountant’s Office to verify the existence and
validity of the balance of the account Due to Other Funds (424) and make the
necessary adjustment in the books to record the amounts involved to their
appropriate account/s.
