Best Practices and Remedies to Avoid COA Disallowances

Many government officials and employees and even companies doing business with the government get into trouble due to COA disallowances.  To address the clamor of many public officials in all national government agencies, LGUs and GOCCs to address their COA issues, the Center for Global Best Practices (CGBP) is hosting a one-day pioneering CPD-accredited training in Iloilo entitled, "Best Practices and Remedies to Avoid COA Disallowances", scheduled on Friday, January 12, 2018 at the Hotel del Rio, Iloilo City, Philippines.   Attendees from the government are exempted from the P2,000 limit when attending this type of training based on Department of Budget and Management Circular 563 dated April 22, 2016. 

This one-day special training will greatly benefit public officials of Local Government Units, National Government Agencies, Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations, public utility companies as well as those private entities dealing with the government given that this is the only program that will provide them a comprehensive guide on what they MUST know to avoid those COA disallowances.  For the private sector, it will serve them well to understand this topic in order for them to know how to package a project or supply goods and services to ensure that their deals don’t fall under illegal, extravagant, unnecessary and unconscionable transactions with the government. This lecture session will also give an opportunity for lawyers to learn how to defend their clients on cases involving such issues.

This program will explain in full details those adverse common findings (e.g. transfers of funds, hiring of private lawyers / consultants, travel expenses, collective negotiation agreements, unauthorized benefits and more) that result in COA’s notices of suspension, notices of disallowance and notices of charges.    And yes, the good news is that there are remedies and defenses to address these issues by providing you the right solutions supported by the latest Supreme Court and COA rulings to deal fairly with your possible problem areas.  We will also clearly define for you when a superior is liable for COA suspension and disallowances as well as how a subordinate can steer clear of liabilities for an irregular act committed by his/ her superior.  Arming yourself with the right information will ensure that you stay out of trouble while in government.  Many get expelled from government and retirement pay forfeited simply because they are unaware of these issues while innocent private individuals dealing with them get implicated for malversation of funds out of ignorance.

CGBP also runs other government-related topics applicable to the private sector: 

(1) “What You Must Know About Procurement Law”, 

(2) “HowTo Prepare Your New Bidding Documents” 

(3) "How to Prepare Unsolicited Proposals" 

(4) "Duterte Government’s Revised PPPMenu: 24 Hybrid PPPs and G2G”, 

(5) “Local Government & Real PropertyTaxation”.

This is open to the general public. This training is CPD-accredited by the Board of Accountancy.  Accountants attending will earn 6 CPD units. 

Interested attendees are encouraged to avail of the early registration discount available until December 20, 2017.  (This is a limited-seats-only event and pre-registration is required.)
