statements following the accounting complied with
standards prescribed by COA, in
accordance with generally accepted
standards for public sector institutions.
Types of opinion:
● Unmodified - signifies that a clear
opinion is rendered which means that
the financial statements present fairly,
in all material aspects, the results of
the operations and the financial
condition of the LGU for the period
and date indicated, based on existing
government standards, and in
compliance with government laws,
rules and regulations.
● Qualified - Indicates that certain
material transactions and/or accounts
have been found to be improper, are
questionable or are requiring more
solid justifications and therefore have
not been passed in audit. The
transactions and/or accounts under
questions, however, are not so

significant relative to the total
operations of the subject entity, as to
fully negate other aspects of
operations which were found to be in
order
● Adverse - Reveals that the financial
statements of the government entity
do not fairly present its results of
operations and financial condition,
and are not in compliance with
prescribed laws and applicable
guidelines. An adverse opinion puts to
question the entire financial operation
of the subject entity and demonstrates
past and/or present management’s
inability to resolve previously
disallowed transactions
● Disclaimer / No Opinion - means that
the auditor of the subject
government entity does not have
sufficient basis to form any opinion
on the financial statements, or the
financial statements presented are
inadequate such that no opinion can
be made, or no financial statements
are available upon which an opinion
can be rendered. In general, a
disclaimer is worse than an adverse
opinion because this shows
management’s failure to perform a
basic mandate, which is to keep
adequate records of an agency’s
financial transactions. A finding of
“Management Letter” shall fall under
this.

as for social protection program
and policy development, plan
formulation, standards-setting, and
service delivery improvement.
The sub-indicator intends to

measure the extent of compliance
of the LGUs in utilizing the ECCD-
IS to capture the children’s profile
as basis for recognizing efforts on
local governance and improving
service delivery standards, policies
and plans.
In 2015, the DSWD Memorandum

Circular No. 3 series of 2015 titled,
“Guidelines for the
Institutionalization of the DSWD

Early Childhood Care and
Development-Information System
(ECCD-IS)” was issued to
institutionalize the use of the
Information System.
(b) RA 10140 also provides that LGUs

shall allocate counterpart funds for
the continuing professional
development of their ECCD public
service providers. Relative to this,
LGUs shall support the
accreditation of its Child
Development Centers (CDCs) and
Workers (CDWs), as provided in
RA 10410 sec. 3, DSWD
Administrative Order No. 15s. 2011
and ECCD Council 2015 Guidelines
on the Registration and Granting of
Permit and Recognition to Public
and Private Child Development
Centers/Learning Centers Offering
Early Childhood Programs for 0 to 4
Years Old Filipino Children. The
accreditation of the ECCD service
providers is the quality assurance
strategy of the government to
ensure that the rights, needs, and
development of children are met.
For CY 2022, SGLG shall support
the generation of data on the status
of all CDCs and CDWs in

preparation for the full accreditation
of these service providers later on.
(c) Another initiative related to ECCD

is the implementation of the
Supplementary Feeding Program. It
is the provision of food in addition
to regular meals to children ages 3-
4 years old in the Child
Development Centers (CDC) and
Supervised Neighborhood Play
(SNP) Areas nationwide.
The sub-indicator intends to

measure the rate of
accomplishment of the LGUs in the
completion of the required 120
feeding days for all children
enrolled in the CDCs and SNP
areas.
In 2016, the DSWD Administrative

Order No 4, series of 2016 titled,
“Amended Omnibus Guidelines in
the Implementation of the
Supplementary Feeding Program”
was issued to institutionalize the
program. The Department also
issued several guidelines to further
address the gaps and emerging
issues including the procurement
scheme and program

implementation to cope with the
mobility restrictions brought about
by the pandemic. These guidelines
include:
● MC 10, s. 2016 entitled “

● AO 3, s. 2017 entitled “
