“The immediate establishment of SOs without enough equipment to operate led to Management’s decision to resort to the immediate purchase of PPE and semi-expendable property using the cash of its officers, which the OVP subsequently paid through reimbursement,” the commission recalled.
“In addition, the Audit Team also noted, based on control reference of Inspections and Acceptance Report and date of Inventory Custodian Slip and Property Acknowledgment Receipt , that purchases were reported only to Property Unit one to three months after its purchase. Hence, accountability over the property was not immediately established,” COA explained.
“The immediate establishment of OVP’s SOs without a standardized and streamlined processes in handling and reporting of acquired PPE resulted in late reporting and recording of purchased property,” it added.It could be remembered that one of the first projects of Vice President Sara Duterte was to expand OVP’s reach, by establishing satellite offices where people seeking help, but are from far-flung areas, can apply for aid.
“We acknowledge that some of the purchases made for our SOs were done through reimbursement,” it stated.
