In the recent instability of this nation from smuggling, crime ...etc... what is this government watch dog doing? COA is not doing its job, more over so many auditing agencies have been created and it costing the govt its fund. I say that this COA should be dissolved in my opinion, for the following reasons stated below..

1. This agency is a non functioning agency, they are just waiting for whistle blowers then they get into action (ex.. : lamp post during the asean, summit, badana cashier case of cebu city hall)
2. non income generating agency, it costing the government funds to the salary of idle personnel.
3. most of them dont know what they are doing and what to audit., merely because people in COA are assigned in different government agency as a watch dog but personnels here what the assigned agency does.

what about you? what do you think?

what instability? and what other auditing agencies in gov't are you talking about? ang COA ra man. and how can u dissolve a "vital" agency in gov't? kung sa classroom pa bro, dili gyud pwede walay auditor.

before anyone criticize this agency, please do some research first, por dios por santo... it is wise to know first what their functions are, their accomplishments, and how they affect governance before even talking negatively (or positively) about this agency.

1. non-functioning? if not for COA, wala unta basis c Saavedra sa CICC scandal. Wala unta nasakpi c Badana, and lots of unliquidated cash advances. If u happen to know their function, it is basically "AUDIT". and do u know what auditing means? auditing is done only after the project/spending is done. not before, not during...

2. non-income. of course. how do u generate income when u r only an audit agency of gov't? it's an independent service oriented govt agency, not profit-oriented.

3. how can u say they don't know what they're doing? do u work at COA? Please note that all COA auditors are CPA's...
