Independent Auditor’s Report on the Financial Statements

The Auditor rendered a qualified opinion on the accompanying financial


statements of the Barangay Jubasan, Inopacan, Leyte as of December 31, 2022 due to the
exceptions as stated in the Independent Auditor’s Report and as discussed in Part II of the
report.

Summary of Significant Observations and Recommendations:

In addition to the exceptions cited above, the significant audit observations with
the corresponding recommendations were as follows:

1. The disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements pertaining to the


LDRRMF lacks the necessary details and not in the prescribed format
provided in COA Circular No. 2012-002 dated September 12, 2012, thus
significant information of value to users of financial statements was not
provided.

We recommended that the Barangay Bookkeeper and Municipal Accountant


disclose in the succeeding Notes to Financial Statements balances of the
LDRRFM using the format provided in annex D of COA Circular 2012-002.

2. Prior year’s unexpended DRRMF were not transferred to the Special Trust
Fund nor was included in the LDRRMF Investment Plan for CYs 2020, 2021,
and 2022, contrary to Sections 4.4 and 5.1.2 of COA Circular 2012-002, thus,
the funds were left idle in the bank and the objectives of providing the fund
for its purpose may not have been attained.

We recommended that the Barangay Kagawad who is the Chairman of the


Committee on Appropriation (CCA), provide breakdown of the ₱323,666.83
₱252,795.01 BRRM Fund unexpended balance as of December 31, 2022 which
should only include the unexpended balances for the past 5 years.

We also recommended that the Municipal Accountant thru her Designated


Bookkeeper record the prior year’s unused BDRRM Fund as Trust Liabilities
under Special Trust Fund, based on the amount provided by the CCA.

Further, we recommend that the Punong Barangay, as Chairman of the LDRRM


Council, identify the project/s to be funded from the unexpended BDRRM Fund
of previous years, incorporate the same in the LDRRMF Investment Plan and
implement the project/s to fully equip the Barangay and its residents in times of
disasters.
Summary of Total Suspensions, Disallowances and Charges

The Barangay has no unsettled suspension, disallowance and charges as of


December 31, 2022.

Status of Implementation of Prior Years’ Unimplemented Audit Recommendations

Of the 47 audit recommendations contained in the CY 2017-2019 and prior years’


Audit Report on Barangay, 14 were fully implemented while 11 remained not
implemented.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Hon. Pedro L. Austero


Punong Barangay
Barangay Jubasan
Inopacan, Leyte

Qualified Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Barangay Jubasan, Inopacan, Leyte which
comprise the Statement of Financial Position as of December 31, 2020, December 31,
2021 and December 2022 and the Statements of Financial Performance, Statement of
Changes in Net Assets/Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Comparison of
Budget and Actual Amounts for the years then ended, and notes to the financial
statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Basis for Qualified Opinion

Cost of completed project charged to 20% Development Fund amounting to ₱592,674.00


still remained in Construction in Progress (CIP) – Infrastructure Assets, thus the affected
account balances in the financial statements are deemed unreliable. Cost of Labor for
construction of pathway and road concreting totaling ₱123,000.00 charged to 20%
Development fund were erroneously recorded as Repairs and Maintenance-Infrastructure
assets instead of Road Network, thus Road Network account was understated by
₱123,000.00 while Repairs and Maintenance-Infrastructure Assets account was
overstated by the same amount as at year-end. And, the distribution of various relief
goods to the families/household affected by calamities charged to the Local Disaster Risk
Reduction Management Fund amounting to ₱46,964.00 were erroneously recorded as
Food Supplies Expense instead of Welfare Goods for Distribution upon initial recording
and Welfare Goods Expense upon distribution, thus the accounts Welfare Goods Expense
and Food Supplies Expense were misstated as at year end.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Public Sector Standards of
Auditing (IPSSA). Our responsibility under those standards are further described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

1
We are independent of the agency in accordance with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the barangay’s financial
reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue
an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISSAIs will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud
or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.

AUDIT OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

A.Financial Audit

Overstated of Construction-in Progress under 20% Development Fund

1. Cost of completed project charged to 20% Development Fund amounting to


₱592,674.00 still remained in Construction in Progress (CIP) – Infrastructure
Assets contrary to COA Circular No. 2015-009 dated December 1, 2015, and
Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards, thus the affected account
balances in the financial statements are deemed unreliable.

1.1. COA Circular No. 2015-009 dated December 1, 2015 prescribed the Revised
Chart of Accounts for LGUs to conform with the adoption of the Phil. Public
Sector Accounting Standard (PPSAS).

Construction in Progress-Infrastructure Assets


1-07-10-020
Debit

This account is used to record the accumulated cost or other appropriate


value of infrastructure assets which are still in the process of construction or
acquisition. Credit this account for reclassification to the appropriate
Infrastructure Asset account upon completion.

1.2. The Philippine Application Guidance (PAG) to Philippine Public Sector


Accounting Standards (PPSAS) 17 provides the guidelines on the recognition of
depreciation, methods of depreciation, determination of depreciable amount,
residual value and useful life of PPE. PAG 3 provides the following guidelines on
initial recognition of depreciation: Depreciation of an asset begins when it is
available for use as when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be
capable of operating in the manner intended by management. For simplicity and
to avoid proportionate computation, depreciation shall be for one month if the
PPE is available for use on or before the 15 th of the month. However, if the PPE is
available for use after the 15th of the month, depreciation shall be for the
succeeding month.

1.3. Review of implementation of projects funded by the 20% Development Fund of


the Barangay revealed that projects already completed with a total amount of
₱592,674.00 were not reclassified to its proper PPE account .Details shown in
table 1.

23
Table 1. List of completed projects with amounts that still remained in CIP
Project Date Particulars Amount
Construction of Evacuation 4/23/2021 Labor ₱ 58,850.00
Center Phase II 5/26/2021 Labor 4,650.00
6/11/2021 Materials 215,690.00

12/1/2021 Labor 10,000.00
Subtotal Evacuation Center Phase III 257,934.00
Total ₱ 592,674.00

1.4. Since the aforementioned completed projects which still form part of the CIP
accounts at year end were not reclassified to the appropriate PPE, depreciation
expense was not also recognized during the year these were utilized. Depreciation
needs to be provided because an asset is bound to undergo wear and tear over a
period of time. The working capacity and effectiveness of the asset is reduced due
to passage of time.

1.5. The above-noted omissions of the Municipal Accountant resulted in


misstatements of some PPE accounts and Depreciation Expenses, thus, affecting
their fair presentation in the financial statements as of December 31, 2022.

1.6. We recommend that the Municipal Accountant prepare the Journal Entries
to reclassify the noted CIP - Infrastructure Assets to its proper PPE account.

1.7. Moving forward, we recommend that the Municipal Accountant recognize


the appropriate depreciation expense of the LGU’s assets from the time these
are acquired or completed.

1.8. Comment

Erroneous recording of Repairs and Maintenance Expense

2. Cost of Labor for construction of pathway and road concreting totaling


₱123,000.00 charged to 20% Development fund were erroneously recorded
as Repairs and Maintenance-Infrastructure assets instead of Road Networks,
contrary to COA Circular No. 2015-009 dated December 1, 2015, thus Road

24
Network account was understated by ₱123,000.00 while Repairs and
Maintenance-Infrastructure Assets account was overstated by the same
amount as at year-end.

2.1. COA Circular No. 2015-009 dated December 1, 2015 prescribed the Revised
Chart of Accounts for LGUs to conform with the adoption of the Phil. Public
Sector Accounting Standard (PPSAS). On recording of assets and expense, the
following accounts were prescribed to be used by LGUs:

Road Networks

Debit

This account is used to record the cost incurred in the purchase or


construction or fair value, if acquired through donation or transfers without
cost, of roads, highways and bridges, railways, subways, and other road
network facilities such as footbridge, traffic lights and road signages for
public use. Credit this account for the derecognition of the carrying amount
of the replaced portion

Subsidiary ledgers shall be maintained for each road and each component of
the road
Repairs and Maintenance-Infrastructure Assets

This account is used to record the cost of repairs and maintenance on road

2.2. Audit of disbursements charged to the 20% Development fund revealed that labor
cost for completed projects amounting ₱123,000.00 was erroneously recorded as
Repairs and Maintenance-Infrastructure Assets as follows:

25
Table 2. Labor cost of Capitalizable Projects erroneously recorded as Repairs and
Maintenance-Infrastructure Assets

Construction of Pathway 9/1/2022 577892 Labor ₱ 35,100.00
Road Concreting 12/16/2022 638944 Labor 87,900.00
Total ₱ 123,000.00

2.3. Due to erroneous recording of the above capitalizable labor cost, the Road
Networks account was understated by ₱123,000.00 while Repairs and
Maintenance-Infrastructure Assets was overstated by the same amount as at year
end.

2.4. We recommended that the Municipal Accountant make correcting entry to


record the above labor cost amounting to ₱123,000.00 to the Road Network
account.

2.5. Comment

Erroneous recording for Distribution of Relief/Welfare Goods

3. The distribution of various relief goods to the families/household affected by


calamities charged to the Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Fund
amounting to ₱46,964.00 were erroneously recorded as Food Supplies
Expense instead of Welfare Goods for Distribution upon initial recording and
Welfare Goods Expense upon distribution, contrary to COA Circular No.
2015-009 dated December 1, 2015, thus the accounts Welfare Goods Expense
and Food Supplies Expense were misstated as at year end.

3.1. COA Circular No. 2015-009 dated December 1, 2015 prescribed the Revised
Chart of Accounts for LGUs to conform with the adoption of the Phil. Public
Sector Accounting Standard (PPSAS). On recording of expenses, the following
accounts were prescribed to be used by LGUs:

Welfare Goods for Distribution


1-04-02-020
Debit

This account is used to record the cost of goods for distribution to people
affected by calamities/disasters/ground conflicts such as canned goods,
blankets, mats, kitchen utensils, flashlights and other similar items. Credit this
account for issuance to end-users, transfers or write-down.
Welfare Goods Expenses

26
5-02-03-060
Debit

This account is used to record the cost of goods issued/distributed to people


affected by calamities/disasters/ground conflicts such as canned goods,
blankets, mats, kitchen utensils, flashlights and other similar items. This also
includes the cost of food served to people affected by
calamities/disasters/ground conflicts.
Food Supplies Expense
5-02-03-050
Debit

This account is used to record the cost of food issued to hospital/rehabilitation


patients, jail inmates and the like.

3.2. Audit of disbursements in CYs 2020-2022 disclosed that the Barangay procured a
total of ₱46,964.00 goods for distribution paid from the BDRRMF. Details on the
purchase of various relief goods are as follows:

Table 3. Food Items and Other Relief Goods


Check
Date Relief Goods Amount
No.
10 Sacks of Rice
577797 12/26/21 834 pcs. noodles ₱46,964.00
310 can corned beef
3 packs plastic

3.3. Perusal of the entries made by the bookkeeper on the issuances of the above relief
goods revealed that they were erroneously recorded as Food Supplies Expense
instead of Welfare Goods for Distribution upon initial recording and Welfare
Goods Expense upon distribution.

3.4. The erroneous entry of expense resulted in an overstatement of Food Supplies


Expense by ₱46,964.00 and an understatement of the Welfare Goods Expense by
the same amount.

3.5. We recommended that the Bookkeeper record the issuances of relief goods
under the account Welfare Goods Expense rather than Food Supplies
Expense.

Disclosure of LDRRMF to the Notes to FS

27
4. The disclosure in the Notes to Financial Statements pertaining to the
LDRRMF lacks the necessary details and not in the prescribed format
provided in COA Circular No. 2012-002 dated September 12, 2012, thus
significant information of value to users of financial statements was not
provided.

4.1. COA Circular 2012-002 dated September 12, 2012 was issued to prescribe
accounting and reporting guidelines for the LDRRMF of LGUs (including
BLGUs) and NDRRMF given to LGUs and Receipts from other sources.

4.2. Whereas, Section 5.1.16 of the same Circular states “The amount and details of
the unexpended balance of LDRRMF shall be discussed in the Notes to Financial
Statements”. A sample of disclosure was attached as Annex D of the same
circular as shown below:

Annex D

disaster risk management activities pursuant to R.A No.10121, otherwise known

4.3. Review on disclosure made on the Notes to Financial Statements of the LDRRMF
of the barangay disclosed that it was not in the prescribed format as provided in
Annex D of COA Circular No. 2012-002 as it only shows in lump-sum the
available, utilized and balances from previous years unexpended and current
appropriations.

4.4. The Notes failed to discuss in detail the balances under current years
appropriations under 30%QRF and 70%Mitigation Fund and the detailed
breakdown of the unexpended prior years balances which should have given
additional value to the financial statements.

4.5. We recommended that the Barangay Bookkeeper and Municipal Accountant


disclose in the succeeding Notes to Financial Statements balances of the
LDRRFM using the format provided in annex D of COA Circular 2012-002.

4.6. Comment

Incomplete LDRRMF Investment Plan

5. Prior year’s unexpended DRRMF were not transferred to the Special Trust
Fund nor was included in the LDRRMF Investment Plan for CYs 2020, 2021,
and 2022, contrary to Sections 4.4 and 5.1.2 of COA Circular 2012-002, thus,
the funds were left idle in the bank and the objectives of providing the fund
for its purpose may not have been attained.

5.1. Section 4.4 of COA Circular 2012-002 states “The unexpended LDRRMF shall
accrue to a special trust fund solely for the purpose of supporting disaster risk
reduction and management activities of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Council (LDRRMC) within the next five years. The LDRRMCs
shall decide on the use of the unexpended balance of LDRRMF which shall
be incorporated in the Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Fund
Investment Plan.”

5.2. Whereas, Section 5.1.2 of the same circular states, “A LDRRMFIP for the DRRM
program shall be prepared annually. It shall present the 30% allocation for QRF
in lump sum and the allocation for disaster mitigation, prevention and

29
preparedness with details as to projects and activities to be funded. The
LDRRMFIP shall also include a separate caption, the list of projects and
activities charged to the unexpended LDRRMF of previous years.”

5.3. Upon examination of the LDRRMF Investment Plan attached to the Annual
Budget, it was observed that the LDRRMF Investment Plan only included the
items/activities intended to be undertaken/procured out of the current year’s
budget. Also, it was noted that in every Supplemental Budget, a separate
LDRRMF Investment Plan was prepared to identify how the additional funds will
be used, but none was made for the unexpended balances of prior years.

5.4. The Barangay Local Government had a balance of ₱240,434.60 out of its prior
year’s LDRRM as of December 31, 2019 but the Statement of Financial Position
of the barangay showed a Trust Liabilities balance of zero denoting that the
portion of ₱240,434.60 which represented the unused 70% Mitigation Fund-
MOOE and 30% QRF was not recorded under Trust Liability – DRRM and was
not transferred to the Special Trust Fund. The same observations were noted for
CYs 2020, 2021, and 2022. Consequently, the unexpended balances of prior
years’ cannot be used in the absence of the LDRRMFIP which should have
indicated the PPAs for which said prior years’ balances will be used for.

5.5. While it is true that the BDRRM Council will decide on the use of the
unexpended balance of LDRRMF, the same should be reflected in the
LDRRMFIP. Moreover, the continued non-utilization of the unexpended
LDRRMF from previous years left the funds idle in the bank instead of using the
fund to improve the LGU’s capability on disaster mitigation, prevention and
preparedness.

5.6. We recommended that the Barangay Kagawad who is the Chairman of the
Committee on Appropriation (CCA), provide breakdown of the ₱323,666.83
BRRM Fund unexpended balance as of December 31, 2022 which should
only include the unexpended balances for the past 5 years.

5.7. We also recommended that the Municipal Accountant thru her Designated
Bookkeeper record the prior year’s unused BDRRM Fund as Trust
Liabilities under Special Trust Fund, based on the amount provided by the
CCA.

5.8. Further, we recommended that the Punong Barangay, as Chairman of the


LDRRM Council, identify the project/s to be funded from the unexpended
BDRRM Fund of previous years, incorporate the same in the LDRRMF
Investment Plan and implement the project/s to fully equip the Barangay and
its residents in times of disasters.
