The League of Municipalities Visayas Island Cluster calls on the Commission on Audit to assign auditors to municipalities in order to facilitate faster delivery of basic services.
The Visayas Island mayors noted that in the recent issuance of Memo Circular by COA on selective pre-auditing of government transactions, many municipalities encountered difficulties in disbursing their local funds that resulted in the delay of transactions.
The Mayors also observed that the COA auditors assigned to municipalities only go to their assignments periodically.
This prompted the LMP Visayas Island Cluster Conference to pass a Resolution to ask COA to assign an Auditor in every Municipality or in every cluster of three municipalities provided the auditor will frequently visit the assigned municipality. (PIA)
