Best Practices & Remedies to Avoid COA Disallowances

With the intensified campaign of both the National Government and the Commission on Audit (COA) in their thrust towards good governance, there has been a clamor for a program to address the issue of COA disallowances and to find solutions for those encountering such problems.
To help solve your most pressing challenges regarding these, the Center for Global Best Practices is hosting a one-day special program entitled, "Best Practices and Remedies to AvoidCOA Disallowances", scheduled on Friday, March 22, 2019 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City.
This program will greatly benefit employees, and public officials of local and national government agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations, public utility companies, as well as private entities dealing with the government.
Private entities will learn how to package a project or supply goods and services to ensure that their business deals will not fall under illegal, extravagant, unnecessary and unconscionable transactions with the government. Lawyers will also gain insights on how to defend their clients on such issues.
This training will explain in full details the adverse common findings (e.g. transfer of funds, travel expenses, collective negotiation agreements, unauthorized benefits and more) that result in COA’s notices of suspension, disallowance and charges.
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.
This program will feature Alicia C. Manuel, CRFA, CICA, who was an auditor of COA for 31 years and was assigned to various branches of government including DILG, Bureau of Fire Protection, NAPOLCOM and many more. While at COA, she was seconded to international organizations as an international consultant to World Bank, Asian Development Bank and AusAid to monitor large scale projects in various countries. She is the author of the Handbook on AFP Internal Auditors, 2017.
