“Our audit disclosed that OVP failed to fully observe the processes and procedures required under the RA 9184 and its IRR in the purchase of its Property Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Semi-Expendable Equipment in satellite offices totaling P668,197.20," state auditors said in their 2022 Annual Audit Report.
The Commission on Audit has flagged the OVP for over P600,000 worth of purchases for its seven satellite offices, which it said were non-compliant with the Procurement Law or Republic Act 9184.
COA added that although a quotation was attached ensuring that the lowest price was obtained in the market, "OVP’s failure to undergo these purchases in processes and procedures required under RA 9184 and its IRR defeats the purpose of the Procurement Law, which is to standardize and to improve transparency in the procurement process."
In addition, the Audit Team also noted that the control reference of Inspections and Acceptance Report as well as date of Inventory Custodian Slip and Property Acknowledgment Receipt showed that purchases were reported only to Property Unit one to three months after its purchase which leads to the accountability over the property not being immediately established.
COA said the OVP agreed to the following recommendations to stop procurement transactions that resort to reimbursement as it defeats the purpose of the Procurement Law. Asked to comment on the COA report, OVP spokesperson Reynold Munsayac told GMA News Online, "We will just release a statement once available."In the same annual report, COA said that the OVP spent P125 million worth of confidential expenses in 2022.
The office also spent P483,600 in "extraordinary and miscellaneous expenses." The item had an appropriation of P620,000 in the 2022 budget.
