EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Introduction
1. The Caraga State University (CSU), formerly known as the Northern Mindanao
State Institute of Science and Technology, located in Ampayon, Butuan City, was
established through Republic Act No. 9854 on December 16, 2009. The University
also has one satellite campus, the former Northern Mindanao College of Arts,
Science and Technology, which is called the Caraga State University, Cabadaran
Campus in Cabadbaran City, Agusan del Norte.
2. The audit was conducted in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory
requirements, and the International Standards of Supreme Audit Institutions
(ISSAIs). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain a
reasonable basis for our conclusions.
3. The audit covered the accounts and operations of the CSU for Calendar Year (CY)
2021 and was aimed at ascertaining the propriety of financial transactions,
Management’s compliance to prescribed rules and regulations and the fairness of
the presentation of the financial statements. Value for money audit was also
conducted on the implementation of the infrastructure projects as to whether the
objectives of the program were attained in the most efficient, effective and
economical manner.
B. Financial Highlights

C. Audit Opinion
5. The Auditor rendered a qualified opinion on the fairness of the presentation of the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to the following
matters:
ii
d. Payment for the audit service rendered by a foreign company called
Quacquarelli Symonds and the QS Stars ratings subsequently awarded to the
University were inadvertently treated as outright expenses in CY 2021 despite
future economic benefits and/or service potential were to be expected in three
years from the said audit and ratings, thus resulting in the overstatement of the
Other Professional Services account by ₱1.846 million and understatement of
the Other Intangible Assets and Amortization-Intangible Assets accounts by
₱1.367 million and ₱478,800.44, respectively.
6. For the foregoing audit observations which have caused the issuance of a qualified
opinion, we recommended that Management:
Review and analyze the validity of the balances in Annex B and return the
amounts that are already due to the payees; and
c. Stop the practice of charging prior years’ expenditures against the current year’s
appropriations without legal basis or authority. Moreover, only current and valid
expenses shall be taken up in the books of accounts using the appropriate
expenses accounts and be recorded in the period to which they relate to.
d. Instruct the Accountant to review the said transactions and prepare the
necessary adjusting entries to correct the balance of the Other Professional
Services account and recognize the intangible asset under the Other Intangible
Assets account with the corresponding amortization.
iii
D. Summary of Significant Observations and Recommendations
a. Liquidated damages were not appropriately imposed against five suppliers for
the late delivery of goods with an aggregate contract cost of ₱2.471 million
despite the circumstances warranting the imposition thereof, thus resulted in the
overpayment of delivered goods, which is disallowable in audit, and deprived
the CSU, Cabadbaran Campus of the additional income of ₱293,230.20 that
could have been derived from the appropriate imposition of liquidated damages.
b. The delay in both the submission of the required terminal audited financial
report and refunding of the unexpended budget of the “Strengthening Urban
Agriculture: A Strategy for Ensuring Food Availability Amidst the Threat of
CoViD-19 in the Caraga Region” project precluded the funding agency from
recognizing the project expenditures totaling ₱905,891.13 in their financial
statements in a timely manner and deprived the same from the utilization of the
unexpended budget of ₱114,754.87
iv
d. Disbursements of CSU aggregating ₱68.917 million were not supported with
complete documentation, thus manifesting weak internal controls over
disbursement process and casting doubt on the validity and propriety of the
claims.
e. The limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic were not taken into
consideration in the formulation of 10 GAD activities and its combined budget
of ₱2.410 million as only ₱197,809.00 thereof was utilized by the University
since the activities were either conducted virtually or compromised by the
challenges brought upon by the pandemic; thus, the budget utilization for each
of the said activities was significantly low and the identified gender issues may
not have been substantially addressed.
f. Five percent of the annual basic salaries of the members of the GAD Focal
Point System in CY 2021 aggregating ₱12.153 million were attributed as GAD-
related expenses instead of attributing only the proportionate amount of salaries
related to the actual number of hours spent by the said members on GAD-
related activities, thus affecting the correctness of the data presented in the GAD
Accomplishment Report of the University for FY 2021.
g. Efforts in the collection of loans granted through the SAFE Loan program were
deemed lacking and ineffective as ₱1.804 million or 96 percent of the total
amount loaned out to students have remained uncollected for five years to over
10 years from the year that the said loans were supposed to be repaid; thus,
government funds were unnecessarily wasted for being idle in the hands of the
grantees for a long period and the objectives of the said program were defeated
v
as the loans that should have been refunded could have been loaned out again to
other financially needy students.
h. Due to the late implementation of the updated tax rates prescribed in the
CREATE law and the erroneous computation of business taxes withheld against
non-VAT registered businesses, withholding taxes from the payments made for
85 transactions with various non-VAT registered businesses were over-
withheld, thus defeated the purpose of the CREATE law and resulted in an
over-withheld taxes aggregating ₱123,052.07.
10. Out of the 43 audit recommendations embodied in the CY 2020 and prior years’
Annual Audit Reports, 21 were fully implemented, 21 were partially implemented,
and one was not implemented.

COMMISSION ON AUDIT
Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of the Caraga State University (CSU),
Ampayon, Butuan City which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at
December 31, 2021, and the Statement 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 year then ended, and Notes to the Financial Statements,
including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Bases for Qualified
Opinion section of our report, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of CSU as at December 31, 2021, and its
financial performance, its cash flows, and its comparison of budget and actual amounts
for the year then ended in accordance with International Public Sector Accounting
Standards (IPSAS).
• Honoraria for teaching overload incurred in CYs 2019–2020 totaling ₱6.145 million
were charged against the appropriations and budget of the University for CY 2021
and were inadvertently recorded as current year expenses in the books of accounts;
thus, the Honoraria and Other Professional Services accounts were overstated by
₱3.646 million and ₱2.498 million, respectively, and the payment of honoraria for
teaching overload, net of taxes, totaling ₱5.028 million were considered irregular
expenditures.
• Payment for the audit service rendered by a foreign company called Quacquarelli
Symonds and the QS Stars ratings subsequently awarded to the University were
inadvertently treated as outright expenses in CY 2021 despite future economic
benefits and/or service potential were to be expected in three years from the said audit
and ratings, thus resulting in the overstatement of the Other Professional Services
account by ₱1.846 million and understatement of the Other Intangible Assets and
Amortization-Intangible Assets accounts by ₱1.367 million and ₱478,800.44,
respectively.
Except for the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section, we have
determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.

CARAGA STATE UNIVERSITY
Notes to Financial Statements
For the year ended December 31, 2021
The financial statements of Caraga State University (CSU) were authorized for issue
on March 15, 2022 as shown in the Statement of Management Responsibility for
Financial Statements signed by our President, Dr. Anthony M. Penaso.
Caraga State University was established through the enactment of Republic Act
(R.A.) No. 9854, “An Act Establishing the Caraga State University in the Caraga
Region by integrating the Northern Mindanao State Institute of Science and
Technology (NORMISIST) in Ampayon, Butuan City and the Northern Mindanao
College of Arts, Science and Technology (NMCAST) in Cabadbaran, Agusan del
Norte and Appropriating Funds Thereof.” It was formerly known as NORMISIST and
the latter was established through the passage of Batas PambansaBilang 241, which
converted Northern Mindanao National Agricultural College (NORMINAC) into
NORMISIST. Tracing back further, NORMINAC was converted from the original
root of CSU, the Agusan Agricultural High School which was established in 1946, by
virtue of R.A. No. 3604.
The University, per R.A. 9854, is mandated to primarily provide advanced education,
higher technological, professional instruction and training in the fields of agriculture
and environmental studies, fishery, engineering, forestry, industrial technology,
education, law, medicine and other health related programs, information technology,
arts and sciences and other related courses. It shall undertake research and extension
services, and provide progressive leadership in its areas of specialization.
Its vision is to be a premier university known for academic excellence in science and
technology, agriculture, environment and natural resources, engineering, education
and the arts towards the sustainable development of Caraga Region.
The Agency's Main Campus registered office is located in Ampayon, Butuan City
while the Cabadbaran Campus is located in T. Curato St. Cabadbaran City.
Dr. Penaso is assisted by four Vice Presidents duly designated by the Board of
Regents, namely: Dr. Rolando N. Paluga, Vice President for Academic Affairs,
Dr. Rowena P. Varela,Vice President for Research, Innovation and Extension,
Dr. ArmieLeila M. Mordeno, Vice President for Administration and Finance, and
Dr. Luisito I. Tabada, Vice President for Executive Operations and Auxiliary
Services.
10
The Caraga State University, Main Campus is composed of seven colleges and one
graduate school program headed by its respective deans while the Cabadbaran
Campus has four colleges and one graduate school program headed by its respective
deans with the Chancellor, Dr. Marilyn B. Castillo, as the officer directly in charge.
The profile of Caraga State University personnel is reflected in the table below:

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with and comply with the
International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, unless
stated otherwise. The Statement of Cash Flows is prepared using the direct method.
The University uses the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with the
IPSAS. All expenses are recognized when incurred and reported in the financial
statements in the period to which they relate. Income is on accrual basis except
for transactions where accrual basis is impractical or when other methods are
required by law.
Petty Cash Fund (PCF) account is maintained under the Imprest System. All
replenishments are directly charged to the expense account. The PCF is not used
to purchase regular inventory/items for stock.
Payable accounts are recognized and recorded in the book of accounts only
upon acceptance of the goods/inventory/other assets and rendition of services to
the University.
12
Accounts were prepared in conformity with the IPSAS and generally accepted
state accounting principles, and reflect amounts that are based on the best
estimates and informed judgment of management with an appropriate
consideration to materiality.
3.2. Consolidation
The financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of
the CSU Main and its Cabadbaran Campus.
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash in bank, deposits on
call and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or
less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to
insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statement of cash
flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits as
defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.
3.4. Inventories
Recognition
• tangible items;
• are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental
to others, or for administrative purposes; and
13
An item of PPE is recognized as an asset if:
Measurement at Recognition
After recognition, all property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized as expense in surplus or
deficit as incurred.
Depreciation
Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is
significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.
14
Depreciation Method
The Caraga State University uses the Schedule on the Estimated Useful Life of
PPE by classification prepared by COA.
Intangible assets are recognized when the items are identifiable non-monetary
assets without physical substance; it is probable that the expected future
economic benefits or service potential that are attributable to the assets will flow
to the entity; and the cost or fair value of the assets can be measured reliably.
If payment for an intangible asset is deferred beyond normal credit terms, its
cost is the cash price equivalent. The difference between this amount and the
total payments is recognized as interest expense over the period of credit unless
it is capitalized in accordance with the capitalization treatment permitted in
IPSAS 5, Borrowing Costs.
3.7. Provisions
Contingent liabilities
Contingent assets
15
The Caraga State University recognizes the effects of changes in accounting
estimates prospectively by including in surplus or deficit.
The Caraga State University correct material prior period errors retrospectively
in the first set of financial statements authorized for issue after discovery by:
• If the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the
opening balances of assets, liabilities and net assets/equity for the earliest
prior period presented.
Revenue from non-exchange transactions with other government entities and the
related assets were measured at fair value and recognized on obtaining control
of the assets (property) if the transfer is free from conditions and it is probable
16
that the economic benefits or service potential related to the asset will flow to
the Caraga State University and can be measured reliably.
Measurement of Revenue
Sale of Goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the significant risks and
rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, usually on delivery of
the goods and when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is
probable that the economic benefits or service potential associated with the
transaction will flow to Caraga State University.
Interest income
Interest income is accrued using the effective yield method. The effective yield
discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount. The method applies this yield
to the principal outstanding to determine interest income each period.
Rental income
The annual budget is prepared on a cash basis and is published in the website of
the University.
The regular and contractual employees of Caraga State University are member
of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), which provides life and
retirement insurance coverage.
17
The Caraga State University recognizes expenses for accumulating
compensated absences when these were paid (commuted or paid as terminal
leave benefits). An unused entitlement that has accumulated at the reporting
date was not recognized as expense. Non-accumulating compensated absences,
like special leave privileges, were not recognized.
The Caraga State University has determined that some of the revenues and expenses
were either understated or overstated, thus, the necessary adjustments were made to
correct the errors. Breakdown is shown below:

PART II
1.1. Section 111(2) of Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 1445 provides, “The highest
standards of honesty, objectivity and consistency shall be observed in the
keeping of accounts to safeguard against inaccurate or misleading
information.”
1.2. Moreover, Section 112 of the same P.D. states, “Each government agency shall
record its financial transactions and operations conformably with generally
accepted accounting principles and in accordance with pertinent laws and
regulations.”
1.3. Records showed as of December 31, 2021 that the Caraga State University
(CSU) had a balance of ₱46,184,918.88 in its Guaranty/Security Deposits
Payable account as shown below:
1.4. Review of the list of balances under the Guaranty/Security Deposits Payable
account submitted by the Accountant revealed the following:
38
balances should have already been returned to the payees at this point
considering their ages and the fact that the Accountant made no disclosure
on the related warranty period of the transactions that had not yet expired.
Details of the said balances are shown exhaustively in Annex B and
summarized below:
Age Balance
Over 2 years to 4 years ₱ 859,501.53
Over 4 years to 6 years 1,743,444.01
Over 6 years to 8 years 749,788.23
Over 8 years to 10 years 433,476.41

Total ₱ 3,909,004.64
1.5. Interview with the Accountant disclosed that they were still in the process of
communicating with the payees to facilitate the release of the retention money
of the concerned payees.
• Review and analyze the validity of the balances in Annex B and return
the amounts that are already due to the payees; and
39
Management Comments
1.8. Management assured the Audit Team that the deficiencies noted will be
appropriately acted on. Moreover, the Accounting office will undertake the
following measures:
2.1. Section 119 of P.D. No. 1445 states, “All lawful expenditures and obligations
incurred during the year shall be taken up in the accounts of that year.”
2.2. Moreover, Chapter 2 of the GAM for NGAs, Volume I, provides the following:
40
its financial transactions and operations conformably to the
following:
...
2.3. Audit of the transactions of the CSU, Cabadbaran Campus revealed that various
expenses paid in the early months of calendar year (CY) 2021 totaling
₱1,192,625.38 were actually incurred in CY 2020 but were inappropriately
recorded in the books of accounts as expenditures of the current year as shown
comprehensively in Annex D and summarized below:
2.4. Furthermore, based on the attached Budget Utilization Request and Status
documents, the said expenditures were obligated as follows:
2.5. Considering that the subject Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses were
actually incurred in CY 2020 and were already due and demandable but
remained unpaid, the liabilities should have been set up through the Accounts
Payable account which in turn would also recognize the unpaid expenditures
incurred totaling ₱1,192,625.38 as expenses of CY 2020.
41
2.6. Similarly, the amount of ₱242,350.97 which were obligated in CY 2021 should
have been obligated in CY 2020 as these expenditures pertain to the said year
pursuant to Section 119 of P.D. No. 1445 and Section 6(b) under Chapter 2 of
the GAM for NGAs, Volume I. By doing so, the operations in CY 2021 would
not suffer the improper utilization of funds that were solely intended for
obligations to be incurred during the said year.
2.7. Furthermore, despite the availability of funds in the current year, the
circumstances does not warrant the use of the funds for the payment of
expenditures incurred in the previous year as this would force the recording of
said expenditures as current year expenses in the books of accounts which
would tantamount to misrepresenting the affected expenses accounts in the
financial statements.
2.8. It is to be noted that the foregoing deficiencies were similar to the case of the
CSU, Main Campus in the previous years which caused the Audit Team to issue
CSU AOM No. 2019-09 and was subsequently included in the Annual Audit
Report on the CSU for the year ended December 31, 2018. Thereafter, the
Management recognized their lapses and informed the employees that claims
submitted after a particular cut-off date shall not be entertained and processed.
2.9. Consequently, the expenses incurred in the previous year but charged against
the budget for the current year aggregating ₱242,350.97 were considered
irregular; and the affected expenses accounts were overstated by a total amount
of ₱1,192,625.38, thereby affecting the fair presentation of the said accounts in
the financial statements.
Management Comments
• Reiterate and stick to its internal deadlines and seek ways to further
improve its processes; and
42
Honoraria for Teaching Overload in CYs 2019–2020 Charged Against the Budget for the
Current Year
3.1. Section 119 of P.D. No. 1445 states, “All lawful expenditures and obligations
incurred during the year shall be taken up in the accounts of that year.”
3.2. Moreover, Chapter 2 of the GAM for NGAs, Volume I, provides the following:
...
3.3. Audit revealed that the honoraria for teaching overload from the 1st semester
of Academic Year (AY) 2019–2020 up to the 1st semester of AY 2020–2021
of the faculty of the CSU, Main and Cabadbaran Campuses totaling
₱6,144,504.63 were charged against the appropriations and budget of the
University for CY 2021 with ₱5,028,220.79 paid to the faculty members as
shown in detail in Annex E and summarized below:
43
3.4. Audit further revealed that the said expenditures were inappropriately recorded
in the books of accounts as current year expenses as summarized below:
3.5. Interview with the Accountant revealed that the subject honoraria were only
obligated in CY 2021 as the appropriations and budget of the University in the
previous years were not enough to cover the said expenditures.
3.6. Given that the subject honoraria were for the teaching overload in the previous
years and pursuant to Section 119 of P.D. No. 1445, the amount of
₱6,144,504.63 should have been obligated in the year that the expenses were
actually related to as this would disrupt the effective utilization of the CY 2021
appropriations and budget of the University which were solely intended for
obligations to be incurred during the said year.
3.7. Furthermore, despite the availability of funds in the current year, the
circumstance does not warrant the use of the funds for the payment of prior
years’ expenditures as this would force the recording of said expenditures as
current year expenses in the books of accounts which would tantamount to
misrepresenting the affected accounts in the financial statements.
3.8. In view of the foregoing circumstances, the Honoraria and Other Professional
Services accounts were overstated by ₱3,646,393.01 and ₱2,498,111.62,
respectively, and the payment of honoraria for teaching overload totaling
₱5,028,220.79 were considered irregular expenditures.
Management Comments
3.10. Management commented that the overload was supposed to be paid in CY 2020
but the budget for honoraria was not enough since the budget for Personnel
Services was already exhausted as reported in their Financial Accountability
Reports as of December 31, 2020.
44
reply advising the University that once PS Benefits are determined as
authorized and allowed in prior years, the payment be charged against available
PS allotments based on the following provisions cited by DBM in their letter:
Auditor’s Rejoinder
3.13. The Audit Team maintains it stand that the utilization by the University of its
General Appropriation Act (GAA) Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 for the payment of
the subject honoraria is without legal basis.
3.14. The COA Circular cited by DBM was not applicable to the case of CSU as the
circular presupposes that the applying agency should still have an unobligated
allotment at the year where the expenses were incurred which in turn would be
the authority of the applying agency to cover and pay the unpaid PS benefits in
the following year.
3.15. Furthermore, COA Circular No. 2018-001 limits its application on the
following:
45
(3) failure of the budget/accounting office to obligate the
allotment in the respective registries for those personnel
benefits.
3.16. Based on the circumstances outlined above, CSU’s issue is most comparable to
the third. However, in the case of CSU, the budget and accounting offices was
not able to obligate the allotment not due to neglect or laxity, but because the
University did not have any remaining PS allotment to obligate at the end of the
year, therefore precluding it from employing the provisions of COA Circular
No. 2018-001.
3.17. Moreover, if the circular was applicable to the case of CSU, the circular would
become a legal loophole as an agency could use the funds for expenditures that
are not programmed in the GAA of the current year knowing that they could
use COA Circular No. 2018-001 to pay expenditures that are programmed in
the GAA of the current year using the funds in the GAA of the succeeding year.
It would also defeat the purpose of budgeting and budget accountability as they
could incur expenditures beyond their budget.
3.18. The foregoing issue was referred by the Audit Team to the Legal Services of
COA Regional Office No. XIII and both arrived at the same conclusion.
3.19. Consequently, the Audit Team discovered that the Service Recognition
Incentives (SRI) in CY 2021 were paid to the employees despite the subject
honoraria of the faculty were still not paid nor obligated, thus prevented the
University from paying the honoraria out of the GAA FY 2021.
3.20. Finally, the fact remains that the subject honoraria for services rendered in the
previous year were recorded in the books of accounts as current year expenses,
thereby overstating the expenses presented in the Statement of Financial
Performance of the University for the year ended December 31, 2021.
46
Intangible Asset Incorrectly Treated as Outright Expenses
4. Payment for the audit service rendered by a foreign company called Quacquarelli
Symonds and the QS Stars ratings subsequently awarded to the University were
inadvertently treated as outright expenses in CY 2021 despite future economic
benefits and/or service potential were to be expected in three years from the said
audit and ratings, inconsistent with Section 112 of P.D. No. 1445 and Section 4
under Chapter 12 of the GAM for NGAs, Volume I, thus resulting in the
overstatement of the Other Professional Services account by ₱1.846 million and
understatement of the Other Intangible Assets and Amortization-Intangible
Assets accounts by ₱1.367 million and ₱478,800.44, respectively, thereby affecting
the fair presentation of the said accounts in the financial statements.
4.1. Section 112 of the P.D. No. 1445 states, “Each government agency shall record
its financial transactions and operations conformably with generally accepted
accounting principles and in accordance with pertinent laws and regulations.”
4.2. Moreover, Section 4 under Chapter 12 of the GAM for NGAs, Volume I,
provides the following:
4.3. Records showed that the University availed the audit service of a foreign
company named Quacquarelli Symonds in relation to the University’s
participation in the “Fostering World Class Philippines Universities Project”
pursuant to the memorandum of agreement entered into and executed by and
between the Commission on Higher Education and CSU. Payment for the said
service was made through the following disbursement documents:
4.4. To give context to the audit service conducted by Quacquarelli Symonds on the
University, the said foreign company assigns a dedicated QS Stars analyst who
will work with a main contact at the university to assess and evaluate the latter’s
47
performance in various areas such as Teaching, Facilities, and Innovation by
requesting the necessary data and supporting evidence from the university. At
the end of the evaluation, the university receives an overall rating, as well as
ratings in various categories. These ratings are detailed in a QS Stars report
which is provided to the university along with a certificate summarizing the
category ratings. Moreover, if the university has a valid license, it will also
receive a set of digital images of QS Stars badges. These images have the rating
received in each category and can be used in the university’s own marketing
materials.
4.6. Despite future economic benefits and/or service potential were to be expected
after being awarded with QS Stars by the Quacquarelli Symonds as a result of
their audit, the University inadvertently treated the availed service as outright
expenses by debiting the Other Professional Services account by
₱1,846,079.17.
4.7. Pursuant to Section 4 under Chapter 12 of the GAM for NGAs, Volume I, an
asset should have been recognized as a result of the service and said asset should
be amortized over the three-year validity period of the audit and badges.
4.8. Interview with the Accountant revealed that she had overlooked the effect the
transactions and admitted that she had made the incorrect accounting entry.
4.9. Due to the incorrect accounting entry, the Other Professional Services account
was overstated by ₱1,846,079.17 while the Other Intangible Assets and the
Amortization-Intangible Assets accounts were understated by ₱1,367,278.73
and ₱478,800.44, respectively, thereby affecting the fair presentation of the said
accounts in the financial statements.
48
4.10. We recommended that Management instruct the Accountant to review the
said transactions and prepare the necessary adjusting entries to correct the
balance of the Other Professional Services account and recognize the
intangible asset under the Other Intangible Assets account with the
corresponding amortization.
Management Comment
5. Liquidated damages were not appropriately imposed against five suppliers for the
late delivery of goods with an aggregate contract cost of ₱2.471 million despite the
circumstances warranting the imposition thereof, contrary to Section 68 of the
Revised IRR of R.A. No. 9184 and the provisions of the Government Procurement
Manual Volume 2, thus resulted in the overpayment of delivered goods, which is
disallowable in audit, and deprived the CSU, Cabadbaran Campus of the
additional income of ₱293,230.20 that could have been derived from the
appropriate imposition of liquidated damages.
5.1. Section 68 of the 2016 Revised Implementing Rules and Regulation (IRR) of
Republic Act (R.A.) No. 9184 states, “All contracts executed in accordance
with the Act and this IRR shall contain a provision on liquidated damages which
shall be payable by the contractor in case of breach thereof. For the
procurement of Goods . . ., the amount of the liquidated damages shall be at
least equal to one tenth of one percent (0.001) of the cost of the unperformed
portion for every day of delay. Once the cumulative amount of liquidated
damages reaches ten percent (10%) of the amount of the contract, the
Procuring Entity may rescind or terminate the contract, without prejudice to
other courses of action and remedies available under the circumstances.”
49
extensions, at its discretion, if based on meritorious grounds,
with or without liquidated damages.
5.3. Audit disclosed that five suppliers incurred delays in the delivery of goods with
an aggregate cost of ₱2,471.261.00. However, review of the related
disbursement vouchers, together with the attached supporting documents,
revealed that liquidated damages were not appropriately imposed despite the
circumstances warranting so, thus, only an amount of ₱3,708.86 was actually
deducted as liquidated damages which fell short by ₱293,230.20 had the
liquidated damages been properly imposed, as shown below:
5.4. Details of the deficiencies are discussed for each supplier in Annex F and
summarized as follows:
• Two suppliers had already defaulted in their obligation at the time they had
submitted their request for time extension in the delivery of goods.
Moreover, the period of extension requested was longer than the original
delivery period stated in the purchase order.
• The letter of one supplier was approved by the end-user instead of the head
of the procuring entity (HoPE) who is one of the contracting parties in the
purchase order.
• The HoPE issued a written letter approving the request for time extension
in the delivery of goods of one supplier despite the fact that the request was
only submitted 10 months after the original date of delivery of the goods;
as a result, only ₱3,708.86 was deducted from the payment to the supplier
as liquidated damages.
50
• One supplier submitted a letter implying that their request for time
extension had previously been authorized; however, no other
documentation was attached on the disbursement voucher stating the
length of extension granted as well as evidence that the request was indeed
approved.
• The letter of one supplier only requested to waive the delivery of a certain
item and not a time extension in the delivery of the goods.
5.5. In view of the above circumstances, the CSU, Cabadbaran Campus were
supposed to be compelled to impose the liquidated damages against the five
suppliers pursuant to the provisions of the Government Procurement Manual
Volume 2.
Management Comments
5.10. Management commented that they had communicated the audit observations to
the concerned suppliers.
51
5.11. Management also requested for reconsideration on the imposition of liquidated
damages against the EESM Bookstore as the goods delivered were non-
essential items and that the reason of the delay was due to the travel and logistics
limitations and restrictions during the very height of the pandemic.
5.12. As for Lifeworks Print Hub, the Management commented that the delivery term
in the Purchase Order was inadvertently written as “30 days upon receipt of
Purchase Order” instead of the usual “30–60 days from submission of the final
black print.”
5.13. Nonetheless, during the exit conference, the Management assured the Audit
Team that they will adhere to the audit recommendations.
Auditor’s Rejoinder
5.14. The Audit Team’s stand on the case of the EESM Bookstore remains the same
as the fact remains that the extension was requested beyond the date that the
goods were supposed to be delivered. It would be unfair to other suppliers who
were under the same predicaments but were still imposed with liquidated
damages for the delay in the delivery of the goods. The team simply upholds
the idea of fairness in the implementation of the procurement law rather than its
discriminatory or selective application.
5.15. As for the case of Lifeworks Print Hub, the original period of 30 calendar days
from the date the Purchase Order is received by the supplier should prevail over
the other term claimed by the Management as even the supplier was unaware
that the yearbooks could have been delivered within 30 to 60 days from the
submission of the final layout which is why the supplier requested for an
extension in the first place as they could not deliver the yearbooks within the
original period stipulated in the purchase order.
5.16. Furthermore, had the conditions been properly set and stated with clear
intentions, especially as to the timelines of the process, the procurement could
have attracted more potential suppliers as the terms and conditions could have
been more feasible for them; thus, if Management will be allowed to change the
terms of the purchase order right after the perfection of the contract, the other
potential suppliers will be deprived of the opportunity to participate in the
procurement of the yearbooks under the said terms that may have been
favorable to them.

Delay in the Liquidation of COVID-19 Related Projects
6. The delay in both the submission of the required terminal audited financial report
and refunding of the unexpended budget of the “Strengthening Urban
Agriculture: A Strategy for Ensuring Food Availability Amidst the Threat of
CoViD-19 in the Caraga Region” project which was contrary to Section 1(c) under
Part VIII of DOST Administrative Order No. 009, series of 2017 and Section 6
under Part V of the memorandum of agreement of the project, precluded the
funding agency from recognizing the project expenditures totaling ₱905,891.13 in
their financial statements in a timely manner and deprived the same from the
utilization of the unexpended budget of ₱114,754.87.
6.1. Section 1(c) under Part VIII of the DOST Administrative Order No. 009, series
of 2017, states, “The implementing Agency shall have primary responsibility of
all project activities. It shall notify the Monitoring Agency of significant
concerns/problems related to project implementation. The Head of the
Implementing Agency shall ensure that the Project Leader submits to the
Funding Agency all the required reports/documents on time.”
53
6.4. Review of the submitted financial report for the period July 1, 2020 to
June 30, 2021 revealed that the project had incurred expenditures aggregating
₱905,891.13 leaving an unexpended budget of ₱114,754.87 as shown below:
6.5. As of December 31, 2021, however, audit revealed that the terminal audited
financial report was not yet submitted to DOST-PCAARD, which was already
due last September 30, 2021 or three months after the project had ended on June
30, 2021, and the unexpended balance was not yet refunded contrary to the
terms and condition of the related MOA.
6.6. Interview with the Project Leader disclosed that the report could not be
submitted as the data needed to finalize the report were not yet available.
Moreover, the Accountant explained that the unexpended budget of
₱114,754.87 had been reverted to the National Treasury at the end of the year
since the related Notice of Cash Allocation had already lapsed, but she added
that they had already requested back the said amount from the Department of
Budget and Management through a letter.
Management Comments
6.9. Management commented that the required reports could not be submitted in a
timely manner to the source agency due to the delay in obtaining the data
needed in finalizing the said reports.
54
6.10. Nevertheless, Management committed to submit the required reports and refund
the unexpended budget of the project to the source agency.
7.1. Section 7.2.1 of the 2009 Rules and Regulations on the Settlement of Accounts
(RRSA), which enumerates the responsibilities of the Chief Accountant,
Bookkeeper or other authorized official performing accounting and/or
bookkeeping functions of the audited agency, provides, “the reports and
supporting documents submitted by the accountable officers are immediately
recorded in the books of accounts and submitted to the Auditor within ten (10)
days of the ensuing month.”
7.2. Records showed that CSU entered into the following contracts for the
implementation of COVID-19 related projects:

Subtotal ₱ 620,163.80
Grand Total ₱ 1,538,764.80
7.4. Interview with the Accountant revealed that the said disbursement vouchers
could not be summited as the required supporting documents were yet to be
acquired and the “Received Payment” section of the vouchers were still to be
signed by the payees. Their office also admitted that the delay in the submission
of the disbursement vouchers was attributable to the reduced reporting hours in
the office in compliance with the community quarantine guidelines.
Management Comments
7.7. During the exit conference, Management raised the same arguments discussed
in Finding No. 7 but committed to submit the subject disbursement vouchers as
soon as they are complete as to supporting documents.
56
Incomplete Supporting Documents for Various Disbursements
8.1. Section 4(6) of P.D. No. 1445 states that, “Claims against government funds
shall be supported with complete documentation.”
8.2. Section 124 of the same P.D. states that, “It shall be the direct responsibility of
the agency head to install, implement, and monitor a sound system of internal
control.”
8.3. Audit of 147 sampled disbursement vouchers revealed that 31 thereof totaling
₱68,916,524.16 were not supported with complete documentations such as:
Official Receipts, Delivery Receipts, Proof of posting of Notice of Award
(NOA) in the PhilGEPS, Request for Quotation (RFQ), Certificate from the
end-user that the project is completed and inspected, Monthly Certificate of
Payment, Photocopy of vouchers of all previous payments. The subject
disbursement vouchers and their corresponding deficiencies are listed in detail
in Annex G and summarized below:
Disbursement Vouchers
Deficiencies

Total 31 ₱ 68,916,524.16
57
8.4. Based on the foregoing observation, several disbursement vouchers were not
completely supported with the required documents but were still submitted to
the Office of the Auditor. Moreover, some of the supporting documents were
only submitted upon verbal communication.
8.5. In an interview with the University Cashier, obtaining signatures from the
signatories was difficult as they were either on a Work-From-Home schedule,
under quarantine, or on leave; thus, some disbursement vouchers were
submitted without the signature of the payees.
Management Comments
8.9. Management commented that the Accounting Office has undertaken the
following measures:
• Review the payment of expenditures whether or not these are valid and in
accordance with the laws, rules, and regulations; and
58
Low Budget Utilization for 10 Gender And Development (GAD) Activities
9. The limitations imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic were not taken into
consideration in the formulation of 10 GAD activities and its combined budget of
₱2.410 million as only ₱197,809.00 thereof was utilized by the University since the
activities were either conducted virtually or compromised by the challenges
brought upon by the pandemic, inconsistent with the provisions of the PCW-
NEDA-DBM Joint Circular No. 2021-01; thus, the budget utilization for each of
the said activities was significantly low and the identified gender issues may not
have been substantially addressed.
9.1. Item 6.3 of Joint Circular No. 2012-01 of the Philippine Commission on
Women (PCW), National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) and
the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) states, “The utilization and
outcome of the GAD budget shall be annually monitored and evaluated in terms
of its success in influencing the gender-responsive implementation of agency
programs funded by the remaining ninety-five percent (95%) budget.”
9.2. Moreover, on Page 20 of the Annex A of the said joint circular, a paragraph
provides: “The target is an important consideration in budgeting that specifies
what the agency’s GAD plan and budget intends to achieve within one year in
relation to the GAD result or objective. The target should be realistic and
attainable within the implementation period. Monitoring and evaluating the
GAD plan and budget will largely be based on attainment of targets and
performance indicators.”
9.3. Review of the GAD Accomplishment Report of the University for FY 2021
revealed that the budget utilization for 10 GAD activities was significantly low
as shown below:
Actual Utilization

9.5. The foregoing circumstances could mean that the limitations of the pandemic
was not taken into consideration when the activities were formulated as the
budget would have been set lower if the activities were determined to be
conducted virtually in the first place as there would be less expenses related to
the accommodation of participants and preparation of the venue.
9.6. As a result, the budget utilization for each of the said activities was significantly
low and the identified gender issues may not have been substantially addressed.
60
Management Comments
9.8. Management commented that the low GAD budget utilization in the 10 GAD
activities mentioned in the observation did not mean that the planned activities
were not attained or implemented. They also added that they were conducted
virtually which resulted in the lower costs incurred as compared to being
conducted in a face-to-face manner.
Auditor’s Rejoinder
9.10. The Audit Team would like to emphasize that the audit observation did not
assert that the planned GAD activities were not attained or implemented.
Rather, the main issue was the low budget utilization for the said activities.
9.11. Moreover, Management could have taken into account the limitations imposed
by the pandemic in the formulation of the GAD Plan and Budget for CY 2021
which in turn would allow the anticipation of the costs in conducting the
planned activities and determining whether to set a high or low budget.
10. Five percent of the annual basic salaries of the members of the GAD Focal Point
System in CY 2021 aggregating ₱12.153 million were attributed as GAD-related
expenses instead of attributing only the proportionate amount of salaries related
to the actual number of hours spent by the said members on GAD-related
activities, contrary to the provisions of the PCW-NEDA-DBM Joint Circular No.
2012-01 and COA Circular No. 2014-001, thus affecting the correctness of the data
presented in the GAD Accomplishment Report of the University for FY 2021.
61
addressed by the expense or activity. If the gender issue is clear,
the expense may be charged to the GAD budget.
...
10.2. Moreover, Item D under Section B(2) of Part IV of the COA Circular No. 2014-
001 states, “Personal Services such as salaries of agency personnel assigned to
plant, implement and monitor GAD PAPs on full time or part basis or as an
additional duty, following government rules on hiring and creating positions,
provided further that in case of those rendering services on part time basis or
as an additional duty, only the salary or wage proportionate to the time devoted
to GAD shall be considered in the computation of the cost of the particular
GAD activity.”
10.3. Audit of the GAD Accomplishment Report of the University for FY 2021
revealed that salaries of 73 members of the GAD Focal Point System totaling
₱12,152,290.00 were attributed as GAD-related expenses.
10.4. To evaluate further, the Audit Team requested a detailed breakdown and
computation of the said amount with the related documents necessary to support
such amount from the GAD Focal Person of the University.
10.5. Subsequently, the Audit Team received a response stating that there were 71
members of the GAD Focal Point System in CY 2021 and the annual salaries
of these members in CY 2021 aggregating ₱243,045,812.00 was multiplied by
5% to arrive at ₱12,152,290.00 which is the amount reflected in their GAD
Accomplishment Report.
10.6. In view of the provisions of the PCW-NEDA-DBM Joint Circular No. 2012-
01, the computation presented by the GAD Focal Person was without legal
basis. Furthermore, the resulting amount was not accurately correlated with the
time devoted by the members of the GAD Focal Point System to GAD-related
activities since the said members were not solely hired to plan, implement, and
monitor the GAD programs, activities, and projects of the University or
performing GAD-related functions on a daily basis in CY 2021 as their main
commitment is performing functions related to the main operations of the
University.
62
10.7. Pursuant to Item D under Section B(2) of Part IV of the COA Circular No.
2014-001, the amount of salaries attributed to the GAD budget should have
been proportionate to the actual number of hours spent by the members of the
GAD Focal Point System on GAD as the resulting amount would represent the
salaries that are truly related to the GAD-related activities in CY 2021.
10.8. It was also noted that there were discrepancies between the data presented in
the GAD Accomplishment Report and the information provided by the GAD
Focal Person with regard the number of male, female, and total members of the
GAD Focal Point System as shown below:
10.9. Consequently, the foregoing conditions affected the correctness of the data
presented in the GAD Accomplishment Report of the University for FY 2021.
Management Comments
10.12. Management committed to comply with the recommendation once the GAD
Accomplishment Report for CY 2021 is returned by the PCW to the University.
10.13. Moreover, they explained that the discrepancies in the data presented for the
number of male and female GAD Focal Point System members were attributed
to double entries of names of personnel who were a leader in a particular
committee and a member in another committee. Further, they committed to
correct the identified discrepancies during the revision of the GAD
Accomplishment Report.
63
B. Value for Money Audit
Lenient Collection of Long Overdue Student Assistance Fund for Education (SAFE) Loans
11. Efforts in the collection of loans granted through the SAFE Loan program were
deemed lacking and ineffective as ₱1.804 million or 96 percent of the total amount
loaned out to students have remained uncollected for five years to over 10 years
from the year that the said loans were supposed to be repaid, contrary to the
guidelines of CHED Memorandum Order No. 25, series of 2008; thus, government
funds were unnecessarily wasted for being idle in the hands of the grantees for a
long period and the objectives of the said program were defeated as the loans that
should have been refunded could have been loaned out again to other financially
needy students.
11.1. Section B under Part IX of the CHED Memorandum Order No. 25, series of
2008, which sets the guidelines for the implementation of the SAFE program,
provides the following:
...
11.2. Based on the schedule of loans related the SAFE program submitted by the
Accounting Office, the University had loaned out a total amount of
₱1,879,000.00 to its students in school year 2008–2009.
11.3. Review of the said schedule revealed that only ₱74,980.07 or four percent of
the total amount loaned out to students were collected with the refunds or
returns made even beyond the prescribed period of two to five years from the
year of graduation. The list of loan grantees and their outstanding balances are
shown in Annex H and summarized below:
64
Loans Granted Outstanding Balances

Grantees No. of No. of

Graduates in CY 2013 1 8,000.00 - 1 8,000.00

Percentage 100% 4% 96%
11.5. The foregoing observation was already communicated and embodied in the
Annual Audit Report on CSU for the year ended December 31, 2018 with the
Management committing to implement the recommendation by contacting the
concerned students through online platforms such as Facebook.
11.6. However, because of the little progress in the collection of the loans since the
observation was last communicated, the matter is reiterated to remind the
Management of their duties and responsibilities with regard the SAFE program.
11.7. Moreover, it is to be emphasized that because the loans were not immediately
refunded, the following objectives of CHED Memorandum Order No. 25, series
of 2008, were not effectively and efficiently met:
65
• Raise and improve graduation rate at the tertiary level, thus,
contributing to the stock of high-level manpower of the
country.
Management Comment
11.10. During the exit conference, the Office of Admission and Scholarship committed
to exhaust all efforts to contact the concerned grantees and have them refund
the loans.
12. Due to the late implementation of the updated tax rates prescribed in the
CREATE law and the erroneous computation of business taxes withheld against
non-VAT registered businesses, withholding taxes from the payments made for 85
transactions with various non-VAT registered businesses were over-withheld,
contrary to Item 1(b) under Section II of Revenue Memorandum Order No. 8-
2003, thus defeated the purpose of the CREATE law and resulted in an over-
withheld taxes aggregating ₱123,052.07.
12.1. Section II of the Revenue Memorandum Order No. 8-2003 dated March 3, 2003
provides the following:
66
...
12.2. Moreover, Section 13 of Republic Act No. 11534, also known as the “Corporate
Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprise Act” or “CREATE” law, states that
Section 116 of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended, is
hereby further amended to read as follows:
12.3. Audit of the taxes withheld from the payments made by the University to
various non-VAT registered businesses for 85 transactions in CY 2021 revealed
the following:
Number of Over-withheld
Campus
Transactions Taxes
Main 33 ₱ 64,933.85
Cabadbaran 25 16,352.68
Total 58 ₱ 81,286.53
• The business taxes withheld from the payments made for 27 transactions
with non-VAT registered businesses were incorrect as re-computation
disclosed that the taxes withheld were computed by dividing the amount
due by 1.12 to remove a non-existing VAT component and then
multiplying the quotient by the 5% withholding VAT rate which implied
67
that the payees were treated as VAT registered when in fact the payees
were non-VAT registered. The amount due should have been directly
multiplied by the 1% Other Percentage Tax rate, which was 3% prior to
the effectivity of the CREATE law, to obtain the amount of business tax to
be withheld. As such, it resulted in the over-withholding of taxes
aggregating ₱41,765.54 as shown in detail in Annex J and summarized in
the following table:
Number of Over-withheld
Campus
Transactions Taxes
Main 24 ₱ 39,121.25
Cabadbaran 3 2,644.29
Total 27 ₱ 41,765.54
12.4. Inquiry with the Accountants disclosed that they were not immediately aware
of the updated tax rates prescribed in the CREATE law and that they might have
overlooked the taxes withheld from the payments made for some transactions.
12.5. It is to be noted that under Section 2 of the CREATE law, it states that in order
to achieve its objectives, the State shall:
(a) Improve the equity and efficiency of the corporate tax system
by lowering the rate, widening the tax base, and reducing
tax distortions and leakages;
(d) Create a more equitable tax incentive system that will allow
for inclusive growth ad generation of jobs and opportunities
in all the regions of the country, and ensure access and ease
in the grant of these incentives especially for applicants in
least developed areas.
12.6. As a result, the over-withholding of business taxes defeated the purpose of the
CREATE law and resulted in an over-withheld taxes aggregating ₱123,052.07.
68
12.7. We recommended that Management direct the Accountants to always
withhold the correct amount of taxes from the payments the University
makes in compliance with existing Philippine tax laws, rules, and
regulations.
Management’s Comment
12.8. The Accounting Office commented that they had already remitted the over-
withheld taxes to the Bureau of Internal Revenue but committed to comply with
the audit recommendation prospectively.
13. Taxes withheld and remitted during the year are summarized below:
Of the above balance, ₱1,052,745.62 was remitted to the BIR in January 2022, while
the balance of ₱105,848.24 was still to be reconciled by the Accountant.
14. During the year, the amount withheld from the salaries of the officers and employees
for their premium contributions and loans repayment as well as the amount remitted to
the respective agencies were as follows:
The year-end balances of the Due to GSIS, Due to Pag-IBIG and Due to PhilHealth
accounts were composed of the following:
Year-end Balances
Accounts Remitted in the For Total
Ensuing Year Reconciliation
Due to GSIS ₱ 34,347.28 ₱ 22,647.77 ₱ 56,995.05

Official Development Assistance (ODA) Loans
15. The University was not a recipient of ODA loan in CY 2021 as shown in the
certification of the Accountant attached herein as Annex K.
16. The University did not receive any DAP/PDAF funding in CY 2021 as shown in the
certification of the Accountant attached herein as Annex K.
17. Pursuant to Section 33 of the General Provision of the General Appropriations Act of
FY 2021 (R.A. No. 11518), all agencies of the government shall formulate plans,
programs, and projects intended to address the concerns of senior citizens and persons
with disability, insofar as it relates to their mandated functions, and integrate the same
in their regular activities. Moreover, all government infrastructures and facilities shall
