The Commission on Audit marked 110 years of public service with a grand week-long celebration from May 4-8, 2009. The wide array of festivities included sports tournaments and fun games, a "Dekada" competition where teams presented the highlights of a particular decade in song and dance, livelihood trainings, symposia, awarding of the most outstanding employees, and religious services. |
Chairman Reynaldo A. Villar and Commissioner Juanito G. Espino, Jr. led COAns in commemorating a century and a decade of faithful performance of COA’s mandate. While the Commission rejoices in the glory of the past and present achievements, it also looks forward to facing the challenges of the future. Thus the theme for this year’s celebration: Enhanced Audit Functions through Policy Reforms. |

COA leadership The decision to revisit and eventually reinstitute pre-audit, albeit selective, through COA Circular 2009 – 002 of May 18, 2009 is proving to be a boldest and decisive leadership stroke for its timeliness. Coming amidst insistent calls from stakeholders of government, members of legislature, a concerned populace, political and religious leaders, the academe, the business sector, financial institutions both local and international, for government to rein in pervasive graft and corruption, the move to reinstitute selective pre-audit is being perceived to restore to a very great degree the government’s ability to arrest corruption and its debilitating effect on the economy, national development and governance on the whole.
