Commission on Audit (COA) chairman Ma. Gracia Pulido Tan on Thursday outlined her plans for the agency including sweeping reforms on how the COA conducts its audits.
Among the reforms being lined up by Tan are a review of the capacities and specialization requirements of resident auditors and the secondments of auditors to posts outside the country.
Tan said one of the major complaints against some COA auditors is the residency of auditors to choice government agencies, which allegedly leads to abuse.
She noted that some auditors such as former Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) resident auditor Divina Cabrera are accused of staying at just one post for 10 years.
