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.

from their existing permanent personnel or hire a contractual person
by any legal means.
The current scenario was also further emphasized by the new CSC

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
tourism statistics, status of tourism plans and programs, as well as
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.

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