C. Opinion of the Auditor on the Fairness of Presentation of the Financial
Statements

We rendered a qualified opinion on the fairness of presentation of the financial


statements because assets and equity were understated, both by the amount of
₱9,979,581.82, due to the non-recognition of acquired assets and the inappropriate
recognition of capital expenditures incurred.

D. Summary of Significant Observations and Recommendations

Other than the basis for the qualified opinion, the following are the most significant
observations and recommendations:

1. Dormant unliquidated fund transfers totaling ₱20,441,185.20 remain in the books


despite prevailing conditions precluding settlement thereof, thus affecting the fair
presentation of the related assets and liability accounts.

We recommended and Management agreed that the required procedures be


undertaken and that the appropriate documentation be accomplished to support a
request from COA for authority to write-off the dormant unliquidated fund transfers
amounting to ₽20,441,185.20, pursuant to COA Circular No. 2016-005.

2. Two completed projects costing ₱10,479,866.93, funded from the Bayanihan Grant to
Provinces, remain unused because the facilities lack basic amenities to cater to the
requirements necessary to respond to the COVID-19 crisis.

We recommended and Management agreed that sufficient funds be appropriated from


the 20% Development Fund to complete the facilities and provide the amenities
necessary to respond to the requirements of the COVID-19 crisis situation.

E. Summary of Total Suspensions, Disallowances and Charges

Unsettled audit suspensions and disallowances of the Provincial Government


amounted to ₱7,287,223.29 and ₱63,384,537.14, respectively. There were no
outstanding audit charges as of December 31, 2021.

F. Status of Implementation of Prior Years’ Audit Recommendations

Of the 63 prior years’ audit recommendations, 14 were fully implemented, 39 were


partially implemented and 10 were not implemented.
