NDs are issued by COA once it finds out that persons involved in a specific contract have a duty to return the funds appropriated for that purpose. Also in that hearing, Ernesto Punzalan, who filed the complaint affidavit against Tumang before the House panel, said there were anomalies in the processing of contracts, including a loan with the Development Bank of the Philippines amounting to P950 million.
