P1B worth of discrepancies found

State auditors have recommended a complete physical count of all of Mandaue City’s properties after it was discovered that improper inventory over the past few years has resulted in discrepancies worth P1.03 billion in the city’s records.

In its 2007 audit report of Mandaue City, auditors said records from the city’s accounting and supply officer on the city’s actual number and worth of properties, plant, and equipment were erroneous.

Government properties were not formally accounted for since 2005, auditors said.

The period referred mostly to the term of former mayor Thadeo Ouano, whose administration ran from 1998 to June 2007.

Major Jonas Cortes started his term in July 2007.

Failure to reconcile these records were in violation of Section 114 of the National Government Accounting System (NGAS).

The NGAS requires periodic physical inventory of supplies or property.

Auditors said City Hall’s General Services Office has not submitted complete reports from 2005 to 2007.

The only things reported until Dec. 31, 2007 were the Land and Land Improvements account and the Motor Vehicles account, auditors said.

On the part of the accounting department, “only properties, plants, and equipment acquisitions from 2003 were posted,” auditors said.

As an example of inconsistent records, the COA cited that the General Services Office stated that the Mandaue City Hospital still had a supply of medicines as of Dec. 31, 2007, while the accounting department showed that the hospital had run out of medicine by the same date.

The medicine discrepancies reached P2.18 million, said the audit report signed by Delfin Aguilar, COA cluster director for the Visayas local governments.

While most errors were from the Ouano administration, Councilor Victor Biaño still blamed Cortes for the discrepancies, citing the presence of the mayor’s relatives in the engineering and general services departments.

“What is Jun Cortes doing in general services and engineering? He does not have any authority there,” Biaño said.

Councilor Emiliano Rosal said the discrepancies were the result of “inefficient fiscal management” on the part of Cortes.

“That is why in my resolution, I will ask accounting and the general services to explain why there was a discrepancy,” said Rosal, another Ouano ally.

In the exit conference between COA personnel and City Hall executives, city officials explained that computer files mostly from the last years of Ouano’s administration could no longer be found.

City officials said City Hall had to retrace and re-encode all records since 2004.

The COA also learned that the head of the General Services Office had only assumed his post in January this year.

“They have scheduled a physical count on (the city’s) properties sometime in March,” the COA said.

Old inventory system blamed for P1-B discrepancy in records


MANDAUE CITY, Philippines - The use of old procedures in government accounting by the previoius Mandaue City administration was blamed for a discrepancy of over P1 billion in the records of the city’s properties and equipment, a city consultant said yesterday.

To correct the discrepancy, an inventory of the city’s plants, property and equipment using the New Government Accounting System has started, said City Hall Special Projects Consultant Edmund Sanchez.

Sanchez said that he looked at the records and discovered that some of the equipment listed under the old inventory method were trucks that were no longer serviceable.

These trucks, he said, were valued at their original price when they should have been assessed by their weight in scrap metal.

He said the inventory using the new system should be done before the end of the year.

Apart from the trucks, Sanchez said equipment that were assessed by their original price were old cars and serviceable bulldozers.

He said the administration of former mayor Thadeo Ouano not only used an old system to carry out their inventory, but they also did not conduct regular inventories.

Sanchez said the City Councilors, most of whom are allied with Ouano, should not blame Mayor Jonas Cortes for the discrepancies because, as the Commission on Audit noted, the discrepancies were caused by lack of records from 2003 to 2004, which was during Ouano’s administration.

State auditors earlier advised the city government to conduct a physical count of city properties after it found out that the city’s records could not properly account for P1.03 billion worth of properties.

Auditors also said that the city government violated the National Government Accounting System, which required local governments to periodically conduct physical inventories of supplies or properties and place these in reports.

When sought for reaction last week, Councilor Victor Biano, majority leader of the Council, blamed the administration of Cortes for the discrepancies.

He said that the presence of the mayor’s relatives in the engineering and the general services offices as a factor hampered proper inventory and accounting.

Councilor Emiliano Rosal, also an Ouano ally, proposed a resolution asking accounting, budget, and general services offices to explanation the discrepancy.
