Best practices and remedies to avoid COA disallowances

With the intensified campaign of both the national government and the Commission on Audit (COA) in their thrust towards good governance, there is a clamor for a program on how to address COA disallowances and to find solutions for those encountering such problems.

To help solve these most pressing challenges, the Center for Global Best Practices is hosting an online training entitled, Best Practices and Remedies to Avoid COA Disallowances scheduled from 1:30 to 4:45 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, April 13 and 14 via Zoom.

This training will provide updates, rulings, and explain in full detail the adverse common findings (e.g. transfer of funds, travel expenses, collective negotiation agreements, unauthorized benefits and more) that result in COA’s notices of suspension, disallowance and charges. The good news is that there are remedies and defenses to address these issues by providing you the right solutions supported by the latest Supreme Court and COA Rulings.
