LAPU-LAPU CITY — The Commission on Audit (CoA) reported that it has uncovered a number of unliquidated cash advances made by certain city hall officials here amounting to more than P10 million.
The cash advances were given to the officials who had made "official travels" back in 2006.
The CoA had formally asked the concerned city hall officials to explain the P6.28 million cash advance in 2006 and the P10,158,942 unsettled cash advances in 2005.
"All officials responsible in the monitoring of liquidation of cash advances should require officials and employees to liquidate all existing cash advances and for the city accountant to enforce the strict rules in liquidation," the CoA told the city auditors.
The CoA believed that the city government had failed in its cash flow because most of the department heads did not submit their liquidation reports on time.
The CoA ordered the City Treasurer’s Office to demand collection to ensure transparency in the book of accounts.
