3.
4.
5.
6.
13.
Although the Commission on Audit can act independently on these matters, and that copies
of these concerns/comments and observations have been furnished to all the barangays
concerned, that the Sangguniang Panlungsod call the attention of the barangays concerned
so as to be apprised of any developments, whether said barangays have complied with the
requirements and recommendations of the COA, or if not, ask them to act immediately on
such recommendations so as to avoid any disallowances and other legal actions which the
COA might take.
Under Section 395 of the Local Government Code of 1991, the only qualifications of a
barangay treasurer are: legal age, qualified voter, actual residence of the barangay
concerned. Most, if not all appointed barangay treasurers are not by profession or
experience, accountants or even with the affiliation with business or accounting activities,
and with the complexities of the documents being processed for disbursement of barangay
funds, there is a need to provide the essential or even the most basic training for the
barangay treasurers on the accounting and auditing procedures to avoid technicalities,
disallowances and even being liable for criminal charges for their lack of familiarity with
the proper accounting procedures. Hence, it is requested that the Commission on Audit,
City Accountants Office and the City Budget Office conduct a joint seminar or training for
the barangay treasurers and the Punong Barangays, at the expense of the barangay funds,
on the basic accounting and auditing procedures, as well as to include in the training or
seminar the proper procedures to be undertaken in response to the problems encountered as
reflecting in the summarized report hereto attached;
The committee also requests that the Commission on Audit Local Government Sector,
Baguio City and the City Accountants Office to come up with a compilation of laws,
regulations and COA rulings applicable to the barangays to serve as guide for the barangay
officials and the barangay treasurers;
The committee also recommends that the Office of the City Accountant provide the
barangays with latest rulings/memorandum/notices or updates from the national agencies
pertaining to the government accounting and auditing procedures, and to discuss such
during the monthly punong barangays meeting and/or during the barangay treasurers
assembly;
It is also recommended to call the attention of all the barangays regarding the procedures
for the review of their annual/supplementary budgets to avoid delays and immediate review
by the Sangguniang Panlungsod;
Lastly, to call the attention of all the barangays for them to update or to enact their own tax
ordinance, whichever is applicable, to enable them to collect fees in accordance with
existing laws and procedure. (Item 31, 07 January 2013 Agenda)
