FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION and SUSTAINABILITY
Uphold the practice of fiscal discipline and sustainability, and transparency and accountability in the use of public funds
Indicator Relevance/ Description Data Source SGLG Minimum Requirement

1. Audit Opinion + 30% of An opinion rendered by Commission on Audit based on ● Latest available LGU Annual Audit Report by the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities:

complied with government entity at the end of each fiscal year. All ● List of official audit opinions from COA website 1. Most recent COA Audit
government entities, including LGUs, are mandated to Opinion that is unmodified or
prepare financial statements following the accounting qualified; AND
standards prescribed by COA, in accordance with 2. 30% of recommendations
generally accepted standards for public sector fully complied with
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 local government unit
(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.

IRR of the R.A. 9593 Section 121 – Reports states that (a) As
determined by the Department and the DILG, LGUs shall regularly
provide a report on the status of tourism plans and programs, tourist
arrivals and tourism enterprises and inventory of all the resources
available in their areas of jurisdiction, among others, to the
Department; (b) The Department and the DILG shall formulate and
disseminate a standard system for the collection and reporting of

inventory of tourism resources by the LGUs; and (c) LGUs which
regularly provide reports to the Department shall be accorded
priority in the provision of assistance for planning, product
enhancement, standards development, enforcement of laws,
promotions and capability building.
According to The Organization for Economic Co-operation and

Development (OECD), having a tourism plan is an important
indicator of tourism competitiveness. It assures that there is a policy
response and that economic opportunity is considered. OECD
states that in tourism policy-making, it is very important to look into
the destination's competitiveness. It is then crucial that there are
indicators that can describe tourism competitiveness not only at the
national level but more so at the local level where the development
happens.
Section 38 of RA9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009 indirectly required

a local tourism plan, as the same section stated that LGUS must
periodically report the status of tourism plans and programs to the
Department.

fulfilling all LGU obligations pertaining to culture, the arts, and
cultural heritage belongs to the Local Culture and Arts Council

DILG MC No. 2017-133 encourages local legislation to create the

LCAC and prescribes its composition as follows: the Local Chief
