Pampanga’s cash advances flagged
THE COMMISSION on Audit (CoA) has flagged the provincial government of Pampanga for giving cash advances to fund officers who have failed to document their liquidiations.
The practice exposes state funds to misuse, state auditors said in a report. CoA noted that it had flagged these “deficiencies” in the past, which continued last year.
The Pampanga provincial government of did not immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
CoA said Pampanga should regulate the practice by disallowing new ones until these are completely liquidated. — Kenneth Christiane L. Basilio
